Tuesday, April 16th was one for the ages for myself and I know I wasn’t alone. In fact, I would dare to say that it being the first ever East Side Storytellin’ outdoors – coupled with the fact that it was the ultimate combination of wordsmiths, local historians, and music players & appreciators – […]

I figured awhile ago that kicking off my favorite month, for personal reasons of course, of April surrounding myself with some people that would make me laugh and my heart to smile would be the best thing I could do. It just so happened that I knew exactly who to call for said mission within […]
Tuesday, March 19th, 2013, marked a very interesting night in Nashville. Over at Fat Bottom Brewing Co., I was fortunate yet again to be in the middle of some of the most amazing, talented people in and around Nashville. I mean, c’mon, when and where else can you be around a writer that has been […]

If you weren’t lucky enough to be in the crowd sharing that wonderful evening with me, you are lucky to be […]
Yeah, I said it. East Side Storytellin’ 6, aka the night of January 22, 2013 where Barbara Nowak and Julie Lee first met, was just that … where fine wine and amazing women met. I knew from the first reply from Julie about a month and a half before the night happened when she excitedly […]
On Tuesday, January 8th, I truly experienced a night like no other. At 6pm, I left East Side Story with new art prints made by Alex in tow in order to make my way over to Rumours East to get fully prepared. I knew that Tom would be there with equipment in hand, but I […]
