Let me let you into my life for a hot minute. One thing I do at Story Luck is reach out to our storytelling features ahead of a show to kinda touch base. And after corresponding back and forth, they almost always say to me, “See you at the show.” And every time like clock-work, …

We say this every time, but we truly mean it: we get the best people. Denise McIntosh is joining our lineup of features on June 15th, and she’s bringing with her the kind of singular voice that leaves a room a little lighter, a little funnier, and a lot more human. Some folks live in …

You’ve got a friend who tells easy to digest stories. Stories about the nice lady they met at Sephora or the old man who’s dog they love to pet. Then there’s performance artists like Howard Liberman. His mouth opens and you stop, sit back, and listen. His stories linger long after the last word. You …

The crazy reason I sometimes miss detention is the same reason I miss a lot of probably unpleasant things: fear of missing out. I know what you’re thinking—the point of detention is that you’re detained. You, in your teenage prime, after 7 hours of school, have to sit for another hour of school, but drained …

Photo by: Anna Shvets I have a little confession: the first book I fell head over heels for was a self-help book. Yep, you heard that right. And honestly, I doubt it’ll ever grace the reading list of any book club out there. (Though, with Detention, you never know!) The book is Attached by Amir …

Here’s the Story will be hosting a Story Swap on may 23rd at Roman Susan Art Gallery.
Roman Susan is located at 1224 West Loyola Avenue.
We will be there from 7-9.
We hope to see a lot of journiers there to share stories about the race. I have a couple I’m really looking forward too sharing with people.
The way the evening will work is that we will sit down share some pizza, (feel free to bring food, wine or drinks,) take in the art and if anyone has a story to tell, we’ll listen. Simple as that.
We will be picking up 2 extra large pizzas and any Journey volunteers who show up get first dibs.
Thanks so much everyone who ran with us tonight, it was a real blast. Hope to see a bunch of you again if not on the 23rd than perhaps at another Here’s the Story NFP event or our Sept. 14th Journey.
Roman Susan Open Story Swap Facebook invite!

Seems like new creative projects are springing up like wildflowers all over town! This season, Chicago people seem inventive and prolific; unafraid to dream new things up, smart enough to test them out within communities of resourceful friends, and willing to put in the work to make them happen.
I used to feel like there was a long distance between the dreams and ideas that lived inside me and the actual world; an almost unbridgeable gulf. I came to Chicago with a heart’s desire to learn to build such bridges, and I couldn’t have chosen a better place to learn. Friends and colleagues here remind me daily of the powerful combination of want and will and wiles, and I am grateful. (I include a gracious tip of the hat, or curtsy… or something more gender neutral?… to my HtS collaborator Dan, for all he continues to teach and discover with me in this regard.)
Our next show features some awesome givers. People who are making and doing very cool things. Read on to learn more about them!
Here’s the Story
May 5th, 7:30 potluck/ 8pm show
