People are always asking me what I'm up to all the time. When I say something like "2nd Story this or 2nd Story that" I end up going in to this sort of "picture this" kind of attempt of explaining how awesome 2nd Story is and what exactly it is. Most of the time it's successful. Other times people say: "So, it's like an open mic." And then when people say that I go "NO!!!!!!" and then they tilt their heads and look at me and say something like "I don't get it." And then I tell them to come to a 2nd Story event and then they come and then they fall in love and then they get it.
Well, because 2nd Story is so great and people in 2nd Story are so great we've finally become great squared and created a teaser for this seasons upcoming festival. The festival, you ask? It's three weeks of hot in your face amazing stories from fifty-two phenomenal writers and performers at Webster Wine Bar in Chicago. You can get more information at www.storiesandwine.com (AHEM, I'm performing April 23rd if, you know, you were wondering...)
But you can also get your tease on:
