If you were at the show last Thursday, you know we wrapped up the night with a story by Mary Anne Mooreman about going to a state fair as a little girl in Virginia 70 years ago. We were absolutely hypnotized by her performance.
I’ve been running FGS since 2010, and I’ve never seen anyone like Mary Anne (who goes by the stage name Auntmama). If you were there that night and want to hear more Auntmama stories, meet me in Belltown next Thursday. She’s bringing back the show I met her at years ago called Auntmama’s Storytable.
She’ll have three other amazing tellers and writers with her that night, as well as the Go Janes, a wonderful three-piece band I’ve seen many times. Click on the link below to get more info on the show and hopefully join her Meetup group so you get future invites.
If you were inspired by our show last Thursday and want to hear more stories or even tell one of your own, there are two great shows coming up this week.
Artist’s Way Workshop (Monday the 23rd)
7 Stories in Burien (Friday the 27th)
I had enough left over in Mr. Coffee Thursday to give away two more Swedish Club memberships, so I’ll be writing those folks soon. Thank you so much for your generosity.
If you’re wondering why you’d want to become a member of the Swedish Club, I have two words for you: ABBA Night. Yes, it’s finally here, an evening of ABBA songs on April 24th from the PNW’s premier ABBA tribute band, ABBAgraphs.
If you’re a Swedish Club member, you should have gotten an email letting you know you can buy early-bird tickets at a discount until March 31. If you’re not a member, tickets go on sale soon.
I just got my tickets, so you’ll see me and Marni there on the 24th. She’s never seen me dance. I’ve never seen her dance. Come see if the relationship can handle it.
I’ll send out my usual thank-you email next week, as well as the invite for our next show on April 16th. The theme is “Now and Then: Stories of the past coming back.”
See you on the 16th!
