Halloween Season

Well this last weekend was a busy couple of days to cap off a busy month. The Halloween season tends to be a popular time for storytellers. Something about ghosts, ghouls and goblins stirs the story listening spirit.

On both Saturday and Sunday we told Not-Too-Scary stories for 5, half-hour sets at LEGOLAND California, for their Brick or Treat celebration. Telling there is always a blast. The staff and the other entertainers there are a great bunch of folks. Unlike other amusement parks, LEGOLAND treats their performers very well. And, the audiences are great too. We told for hundreds of families gathered to have a safe, sane and fun Halloween adventure.

Saturday night we were pleased to be a part of a fine storytelling concert featuring some of The Story Tellers of San Diego; Leo Baggerly, Fred Laskowski, Marylin McPhie, Sara Saulter, and us. An audience of more than a hundred, were treated to tales creepy, spooky and strangely funny. Thanks to San Diego Folk Heritage for putting it all together.

Sunday evening. We ended the weekend telling to a private party in La Jolla. As soon as we came in the door, we could see that the host family appreciates the arts. Books, musical instruments, original art and photos everywhere. For 45 minutes we told to parents an kids alike. We had some great feedback from young and (not so) old alike, who are very interested in the art of storytelling.

Whew, what a month!
