Folks,
Wonderful weekend. While we miss Marni & Doug (please change
the NSA Board Meeting date), we are having a great time with
Jackie Torrence, Elizabeth Ellis, Jackson Gilman, Brian Ellis
(Flying Fox), ... (too many folks here to list) Lots of Storytell
folks also.
I'm a angel for Jackie. What an honor! She is a beautiful and
caring person. One who's mission is completely aligned with what
I think professional tellers should have. She gives all she has
to give, without worrying about what tomorrow will bring. Her
faith in Story and our community is inspirational.
I want to mention another person who gives their all to Story. A
lesser known man who's contributions to our art are invaluable.
His name is Robert Smyth and he runs Yellow Moon Press.
L.A.N.E.S. would never have managed to provide one of the most
loving and sharing events in the world (no fooling STF is a very
nurturing and energizing event) without the donations and support
of Robert. If you need help with the production of tapes or
literature (be it a business card or a book), this man will
ensure your project will be a success or let you know it won't
work. You can trust him and his experience to guide you through
the all the ins and outs of producing high quality products. This
is not an ad :), but if you want to contact him:
e-mail: Robert_B._Smyth@bmugbos.org
tel: 617-776-2230
snail mail: PO Bx 1316, Cambridge, MA 02238
Aside from Yellow Moon titles of Books & Tapes (now CD's
also) he carries many had to find Storytelling titles. Call or
write if you have trouble finding something. He's hoping to get a
Website up soon and I'll make sure it's posted here and on my
site as soon as it is up.
Seeing Flying Fox (Brian Ellis to some of you) again was a real
joy. I almost didn't recognize him with short hair. lol He sat
next to me for about 30 minutes before I did. Laugh! He though it
was a big joke. Is it my fault we haven't seen each other in
nearly six years? He's also working on getting a website up.
The only drawback to being Jackie's angel was that I had no time
to spend with Elizabeth Ellis. Texas be proud of her. While I
didn't hear her keynote, the feedback I got was tremendous. Maybe
Theresa, Donna, Tracy, or one of the others will be so kind as to
fill us in on there experiences with her. (Hey you lurkers!
Here's a chance to post.)
I didn't attend any of the workshops, but what I'm hearing from
the others (especially the first timers) everything is going
well. I did go to the Internet forum run by our own Donna
Wetmore. I think we'll be seeing a few more folk here at
Storytell. At least the attendees will have a good idea of what
they are getting into. 90 minutes is not enough time to discuss
all the ins and outs of the internet, but Donna covered most
everything and her handouts gave plenty of places to learn more.
I'm a bit weary and need to get to the closing ceremony. So until
next time.
Pax & Amicitia,
Papa Joe
