Story Story Night

Behind the Scenes

I did something I haven’t done before. I talked about my dad’s passing in public. It’s been two years, which is shy of the three year safety zone. Peter Aguero once told me that we shouldn’t tell stories before we know what they are about – and that normally takes about three years.

I broke that rule.

I had just under two weeks to write, edit, memorize, and deliver this story. I was visibly nervous before going on – that only happens when I do something really new. I didn’t feel fully prepared, and a lot was riding on this. There was the part about my dad, and also the first in-person public mention of Dark Night. Had I done enough? I wasn’t sure.

Photos and videos will be published soon, and you can judge for yourself :-)

In the meantime here is a sneak peek and the text of my story.
