Hello, good evening (or morning if that’s the case whenever you’re reading this), and welcome to East Side Storytellin’ once again. Right now, we have the honor of celebrating our 26th show, and I’m so excited for you to do so here with me. In this round, you are primed to have a one […]
It was one year ago, on Tuesday, November 6th, on a cold, rainy election night when we started making this cool idea into a reality.

Looking ahead before the evening of August 6th, 2013, I was doing more than one little no rain jig in the bookstore, hoping that the scattered showers by morning and afternoon would get rid […]
