It’s homeopathic inner crystal meth”
–Jonathan Ames, author, on telling a story at The Moth
New York StorySlam tomorrow night at The Nuyorican Poets Cafe. The theme is “Making Peace” although I think I might save myself for “Envy” on April 28. You just turn up and tell your story but be prepared to be judged.
Background…
The Moth, a not-for-profit storytelling organization, was founded in New York in 1997 by poet and novelist George Dawes Green, who wanted to recreate in New York the feeling of sultry summer evenings on his native St. Simon’s Island, Georgia, where he and a small circle of friends would gather to spin spellbinding tales on his friend Wanda’s porch.
