Rain City Chronicles is a fabulous storytelling collective local to Vancouver. It just so happens yours truly, Kyle Gest, shared a hell of a story this past November. The theme? Tales From Public School.
I’d been meaning to pitch to Rain City Chronicles for months, maybe a year, but the theme never fit. Weddings and funerals, hotel stories. Nothing I’d had much experience with. But high school? Fair warning. It’s a little tense. You can find the story on iTunes here. Specifically, you’ll find Kyle at 27:25.
The response was overwhelming. I had a young woman personally shake my hand and thank me for sharing that story. If that’s not a testament to the power of storytelling, hell. I don’t know where Cloud 9 is supposed to be, but I’m sure I was somewhere in the vicinity
Rain City Chronicles has another storytelling event this Saturday, February 15th. “Love Hangover” is the theme. Tickets are available here.
