Storytelling at Port Coffeehouse

by Tish & Patrick, January 25, 2010

Saturday night we had a great bunch of people show up for our FIRST Storytelling event at the Port Coffeehouse in Blackrock.  What a blast! The fun is the in the variety of the stories that turn up.  Saturday night the theme was identity and the stories ranged from finding love on Craig’s List to the irrational fear of vegetables and slime.  Then there was a good catholic girl who did a bad thing in a methodist church.  How do you learn that you’re stubborn? When you spend an entire night trying to push the garage you’ve driven off its foundation back on using only brute strength.

Listening to these surprising stories is not simply so much better than television and most formula movies, it stimulates our social synapses in ways we just don’t get enough of.  Next one:  around Feb 20th.
