Today’s story comes from writer and former humor columnist, Jackie Jones. Starting with a red skirt, Jackie weaves in and out of the pieces of clothing hanging from her family tree. This story was recorded live on 6 May 2017 at Tiger! Tiger! Tavern in San Diego. The theme of the evening was “Fashion Victim.”

Many thanks to everyone who came out to our special refugee show in Denver Refugee this past Wednesday. The house was packed and we were able to raise over $1,000 in donations that went directly to the storytellers. The overwhelming support and empathy that circulated between the crowd and storytellers made for a truly special night that got right to the heart of what The Narrators is all about. Thank you. If you weren’t able to make it, be sure to keep an ear out for some of those stories on future podcasts.

Our next regular monthly shows will take place Tuesday, 13 June at Tiger! Tiger! Tavern in San Diego and Wednesday, 21 June at Buntport Theater in Denver. The theme will be “Road Trip.”

This week’s story comes to you from Jackie Jones. Jackie is a native San Diegan who has written book reviews for the San Diego Union Tribune and The San Francisco Chronicle as well as a humor column for Burbank’s now defunct Verdugo Monthly. Jackie shared this story at Tiger! Tiger! Tavern in San Diego on 13 December 2016. The theme of the evening was “Parents Just Don’t Understand.”

Our February shows are right around the corner, so make sure to join us in San Diego on Tuesday, 14 February and in Denver on 15 February when our stories will center on the theme “Red-Handed.”

Even though our new year is just getting started, we are excited about our themes for the year and we are super-duper-hope  excited about the limited run of signed and numbered posters that our friend and artist Michael King designed for us. We are selling them only at our live shows and they are going fast. If you want to get your hands on one of these beautiful screen-printed gems, come see a show. They’ll set you back 15 bucks if you pay cash, 20 if you use Venmo or a credit card.
