Robot Apocalypse: Journey to the End of the Night Trophy Time

Our first sneak peak at the human trophies. One of these will be for the team portion. And one of these will be for the individual who makes it in the fastest.

Both of these were made by our good friend Kristin Abhalter. We will have some of her stuff at this weekend’s Renegade Craft Fair.

Here’s the Story, Dec 2nd show. An End of Year Prize.

One of the coolest things we have added to this year’s season, and something we will be expanding upon in 2013, is our year-end show on December 2nd. This very special evening will feature a full line-up of your audience favorite walk-up tellers from 2012, and will also be an award ceremony!

On this night, Here’s the Story’s Year-End Prize will be given to the walk-up teller who has been given the most points by our audience over the course of the year. The prize is to have Here’s the Story advertise and produce a one-night performance of your own 45-60 minute solo-show.

We will give you script feedback and direction, and both promote and pay for one night of your solo show at Stage 773. You will have the benefit of community awareness generated through the Here’s the Story friends, family, colleagues, fans and the personal support of an experienced director and producer.

As storytelling is a reciprocal art… giving and giving back endlessly, our Year End Prize is an honor given to the person who garnered the most points from the audience over the entire year. We want to thank you for moving them, the audience, and we want to celebrate your stories.

Congratulations to Ron and Xavier, we cordially invite you back to feature Sept 2nd

First off, special thanks to Monte for getting us these awesome photos, right after the show!

Second! Wow, 46 people filled out cards and we ended up with a tie. Both Ron and Xavier scored the exact same number of points. That’s crazy! They also scored the exact same number of 15s!

When counting up all the points I found it a little ironic that Ron got the most points from the three people in the audience who refused to be constrained by our tyrannical rules. Only 50 points! Pfft, how about I try and give away 61! Or, only 15 to one person? I’m going to drop 35 on on one person! What are they going to do? Normalize the scores, just like they said at the beginning of the show?

It’s great because that’s totally the sort of stunt I would pull, not out of malice to rules, but because I’m that bad at math.

Congratulations Frank Sjodin

Oh what a wonderful show last night. Thanks everyone for coming and thanks to Frank Sjodin, for accepting the invitation to come back next month. We heard stories from all over, some old Appalachian tales, some that happened just the weekend prior, and a story that never really happened.

I admit to being biased but I personally loved them all. For those who couldn’t make it, I suspect the podcast will be up sometime tomorrow for everyone to check out.

Thanks so much for all the fine food, the splendid company, and I’m super excited to see you all again.
