First we had drinks, and then...

Another evening of storytelling at Voodoo. I had thought that the feature article in the Charleston City Paper http://www.charlestoncitypaper.com/charleston/voodoo-hosts-local-storytellers-at-a-moth-style-event/Content?oid=4097258 and the many posters that I put up would really bring in a crowd, but possibly the professional shot of my ugly mug in the article scared people away. I got a little worried when it was 8:30 and there was ONE person, the delightful Lynne from Summerville, in the joint besides DJ Matt Blaster and myself for the event. Doing the one story that I was prepared to tell and then pulling another two out of my patootie almost left me too wiped out to do anything but smoke cigarettes on the back porch and sop up Holy City and Old Crow. Luckily, a bunch of folks showed up and we had a total of twelve storytellers, and the stories were all pretty funny. Erin's story about her brother's rat dread tail was hilarious. Thanks to everyone that showed up to tell or listen. More tale spinning to come.
