"Oftentimes, others can pinpoint the theme of your work much easier than you can. This week, I suggest you interview others to begin to narrow your brand. What are you trying to say with your artwork? You may not know. So, this week, bite the bullet and ask 3-5 friends what they think the underlying theme is… Continue

Brother Blue’s story lives on for many
Mourners honor famed storyteller
By Brian MacQuarrie Boston Globe November 9, 2009
CAMBRIDGE - On a beautiful, color-dappled afternoon, an upbeat stream of artists, dancers, puppeteers, and storytellers walked into a North Cambridge funeral home to pay their respects to the man who lay inside. The deceased wore a blue beret, sported a multicolored jacket, and rested in a coffin draped with a dazzling covering featuring a sparkling blue… Continue

Thanks for the message Norah. I graduated Tufts '76 BA Music. Mostly intrigued by storytelling but as you know, everybody has a story or two to relate. Hope to catch a MM event soon.
Hey Norah! I hope you enjoyed cincinnati while you were here! it has a really great arts scene! I'm excited for my move to boston and to go to massmouth for the first time! I'm really lookin fwd to hearing you & the rest of the storytellers!
Sure..You can quote me!
Hi Norah -- thanks for connecting with me here on your site. Yes, it was good meeting you during First Night, too. I'm sorry I couldn't stick around longer to chat with you after the stories ended. I'm not really a storyteller myself... just one who enjoys hearing them and engaging in a littler banter around them ;-) If you ever want to spend a Friday evening in Hopkinton when I'm hosting a ZENMothra, you're always welcome as my guest!
Norah, I am greatly flattered! :) But the only thing I share with the Booker Prize winner is my last name. She has a tendency to generate polarized opinion these days and is quite famous/infamous (depending on your opinion) in India. Here's something I wrote about an essay she wrote: WARNING: It's very loooooooong. Firstly her essay of 8 pages (if you haven't read it already) and then mine... http://virtual-inksanity.blogspot.com/2010/05/walking-off-plank-with-comrades.html.
Thanks for getting us involved!
Take care,
Beth
