Hello, hello, hello. First of all, before writing anything about the big show, I want to just write a sincere THANKS to everyone who showed up in person to help us celebrate a most deserving and all-around amazing night together with family, friends new and old, and … yeah, THANK YOU! I’ll also begin by […]
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. It seemed like and continues to seem like an obvious, perfect combination of inviting local authors to read from and describe their printed work, showcasing local musicians that perform and […]
I can’t believe that I just wrote and said that number above. Twenty-one shows that we have put together for East Side Storytellin’.

Wow! I can’t say it enough after experiencing what I experienced on Tuesday, June 18th, at Fat Bottom Brewing Co. If you weren’t there, I’m not sure that words can put it all into context. I shall try. Yet again, the random Tuesday morning showers cleared the skies for a beautiful evening to be seen […]

To preface a lovely evening without stress, I should let you know why I changed my […]
