Tonight I will be appearing with 6 other writers at The Ebell of Los Angeles for an evening of storytelling. “Found Words” will feature Brian Baldini, Karin Bugge, Jeanne Darst, Margaret Finnegan, Kelly Russell, Desiree Zamorano and myself. We’ll be reading our own works and then meeting and greeting folks after the show.
I tell you this because if you’re in the L.A. area, your presence would be greatly appreciated! Not only that, but I think you’d really enjoy seeing the historic Ebell’s Fine Arts Theater. It’s a beautiful old space, and it holds so much life. Did you know it was the last place Amelia Earhart spoke before departing for what would be her last adventure? I’ve been there a few times now and I absolutely love the joint. It’s pretty danged special.
I’m thinking the night itself will be special, too, and I’m super looking forward to hearing the other storytellers weave their tales. I’m fairly mortified of my own part of the evening, but I figured that since it scares me so much, I must face the challenge and get up there and friggin’ do it. In other words, I’m trying to be brave and live my life. I’ve heard that’s what we’re supposed to do. I guess I’ll find out.
Again, if you’re in the ‘hood and are looking for some entertainment, come on down to The Ebell. And be sure and say hi after the show. I’ll be the one who’s giddy with excitement at having survived.
