Ahhhh! What a great show!
Thanks to everyone who showed up, told, brought food, ate food, and/or gave me a big old hug! Bernie included!
We will announce the winner by midnight, in the meantime I wanted to at least get the podcast up. (I did my best to fix it. The sound get’s better as the recording goes on. Sorry that it’s a little soft through out your piece, Jet Eveleth.)

Happy fall, everybody! We hope you’ll join us for our October 12th show, to celebrate the turning of the season by cozying in for some good old fashioned listening and telling. We have a WONDERFUL show in store for you this month, featuring an exceptionally creative and talented bunch of storytellers. October is brimming with artists! Filmmakers, musicians, playwrights, multi-media artists, improvisors and award-winning poets. Many of our guests are highly regarded in their fields, and all of them inspire us greatly.
As always, in addition to our 5 featured tellers, we offer 5 open storytelling slots that anyone can fill, so bring your stories! These surprises are sometimes the best of the night, and by audience vote, one walk-up teller will be invited back as a feature at the following month’s show. We also host a community potluck dinner that always turns out to be magically delicious, and draw an equally delicious crowd of people to eat dinner with, if we do say so ourselves. And our show is still free!
So come out on October 12th to see the work and hear the stories of a bright spectrum of creative people. What better way to bring in the fall than with food and friends and all these sparkling lights?…

We will be putting up a sentimental, heartfelt thanks, probably Thursday, (I have a lot to say) but I wanted to get a little memento from the night up today. We will be taking two weeks to come up with a good ending based on the stories we heard/collected/shared. We will post that story on Monday Oct. 3rd as a featured article here. Meanwhile we will be posting scattering thoughts about the night, and work on how best to collect and present the creative work that the runners and robots did to help make the night. We will also be posting the race stats we collected. (As well as continue with the normal Here’s the Story articles.)
In regards to the final outcome of Robot Apocalypse the survivors made varying choices.

We haven’t gotten them printed off, that’s a tomorrow project, so they might look a little different in the end but here is a look at the image we’ve received for the front of the Verified Human Card.
Obviously Here’s the Story is a fan of Amy’s Kuttab’s work. But I’m particularly smitten with the way this one came out.
I think it’s going to be a special keep sake and help you remember the journey you took this year.

So, here is a belated little card, to be sent to one, Ms. Elizabeth Harper. We went to Words that Kill for the first time back in August. One of the cool things about Words that Kill is they accept canned goods in place of cold hard cash. Words that Kill, thanks for passing on …

Since we are running a Journey to the End of the Night, we thought it would make a good theme for a Tshirt.
Amy Kuttab, our good friend from Portland did the design. If you recall, she also did this really cool shirt for us.

So this is another sad tale from the lost bag file. As time moves forward I realize more and more things that I’d had in the bag that weren’t backed up anywhere else. A cautionary tale to everyone. Don’t procrastinate. Write your articles in a timely fashion. Unfortunately due to my procrastination, I’m missing all of my photos and notes for this show, and for Words that kill. This show, is a particular bummer because I had some super cool shots.
Deanna and Scott are gracious hosts and good friends of Here’s the Story, so clearly, I’m always welcome, but I was specially invited to this show by Kim Morris. I first heard her tell at Story Club. She read a brutal piece about the loss of a friend and subsequently we’ve been running into each other at shows ever since. For instance, I saw her at the Tuesday Funk a while back. And I’ll be seeing her at our Journey to the End of the Night. If you’re interested in seeing her brand of story telling, you can check her out at Fringe Fest.
But these are the two kids I want to tell you about today:

How to throw a potluck!
At least, how to throw a potluck in the style that’s mine! The idea for throwing community potlucks came to us by way of a writer and friend, Nick Tramdak. I suggest those of you interested in the writing of up and coming go-getters check out his twitter. He, along with his roommate Dimitri, were throwing regular potlucks in the Pilsen area. All the invites came with an open invitation for those interested in community pow-wows to invite like-minded folks. The invites they wrote up for the events were fantastic.

The Hot Girl Game is Best Played with Women You Trust. (A Bad Feminist Story.)
“Dan, do you want to play the hot girl game?”
Valarie is one of my oldest Chicago friends and she is coy with sly winks, and surprise happy shouts you come to expect. This mirth is tempered by the…
Reasons I Don’t Use the Word Feminist Out Loud
Growing up an early Millennial all my female friends would say, “I’m not a feminist.”
This would follow a string of feminist beliefs they did hold. And I’d say, “Yeah. I’m for all that.” And they’d explain, they didn’t like the…
Today's the last day of my Easter holiday and I'm going to make it a build day.
After probably 25 years of thinking about it, I'm going to finally build myself a website.
Will update this thread as I go.
I am addicted to rock climbing and I hate every minute of it.
For years, I’d poo-pooed rock climbing.
Why wouldn’t I go running instead?
Now that I’ve tried it… I know… running would be way healthier and more efficient. (Swimmers are giving me the, “If you really want a…
