Quick Update

I performed last night and got home past midnight, and tonight I see James Braly's one-man storytelling show, so it has been, and will be, a storytelling-filled week. Toss in an hour's commute and the fact that I'm trying to finish a chapter a week of my novel, and this leaves little time, at the moment, for blogging. Just in case the next few days are relatively quiet.

I will say, however, that after the show, all the performers (and my friend Rose, who was nice enough to come with me---Thanks!) stood around and chatted for at least an hour, and then Andy Christie piled three of us into his car and drove us home---which meant, in my case, from Brooklyn all the way to Washington Heights. Great company, wonderful converstaion---the nice thing about hanging with storytellers is you know you'll get good stories---and the whole evening ended feeling like the best parts of college: late night coffee shop and spring Break road trip rolled into one and broken into a short piece that allows you to get up and (sigh) work the next morning.

The crowd was small and polite, but I'm told I did well. So did everyone else. If you haven't seen a New York storytelling show, we've got great talent here, and no one gets paid, so you're guaranteed a great show for cheap. Try it on your next visit!
