I had got it in my head that I was going to learn how to tell a story, you know, like they do for The Moth. And for the past few months, I’ve been going to live storytelling events around Seattle. They’re all different, but they’re grounded in the action of getting up in front of a the room with no notes and telling the room about that one time.
I have the recording from my latest attempt. Also, you need to know that when I told this story, I was wearing the hat I’m wearing in this photo.

Great to hear your voice. I mean your narrative voice. But also your voice voice. This storytelling thing, you got it!
OMG. That final line! The story great, the telling is very well executed, and the final line is the perfect bow tied around it. ❤️❤️❤️
