Hi Everyone,
Just a quick reminder that our next show is coming up this Thursday. The theme is “It’s Never Too Late – Stories of doing it anyway.” Themes are just a suggestion, though. You can tell a story on any theme as long as it follows our usual rules and guidelines.
If you’re looking to practice your story in front of a live audience, the wonderful folks at Bar Stories are hosting their show in Tacoma tomorrow. I told a story there a couple months ago and had a great time. It’s in a brewery and they let you use notes. What more could you want?
Also, one of our new members just started her own open mic in Columbia City that I’ll be going to next Monday on the 21st. Come hang out with me and check out the new show! It’s an open mic for anything. They give you 10 minutes to tell a story, sing a song, recite a poem, paint yourself blue and dance the Mazurka, whatever you want. I can’t wait to see what Columbia City people have been cooking up.
Lastly, our friends at 7 Stories are having their show a week from this Friday on the 28th. The suggested theme is “Letting Go.” The folks here are super supportive, and I always enjoy going there. Plus, it’s held at the Burien Heritage Museum, so if you tell a story, you’ll get to stand next to a replica of a 737 and the DB Cooper display.
Hope to see a bunch of you this Thursday at the Swedish Club. Oh, I just discovered where the mysterious third parking lot is. It’s across the street from the club and with a giant mural of dinosaurs. All total, we have over 100 spots of free parking, so there’s no reason not to come. Seriously, when was the last time you went to something in Seattle with free parking? The last time I found free parking, I was driving a covered wagon and coming to town to buy hard tack and gingham.
See you Thursday!
