Fall Has Fell...

This year we celebrated International Talk Like a Pirate Day at Sea Shanty Festival aboard the historic Star of India What with upcoming Pirate gigs, (this Thursday at the Torrence Public Library in Los Angeles) we need to stay in Pirate ship shape. Heck, we were even invited on stage to help sing It's Fun Being a Pirate. A ditty that we look to incorporate into our shows. Notice Patti's lovely new pegleg. She will start a fashion trend.

We also told some of our favorite Love and Romance tales for a very special wedding reception up in the dessert. The weather and the food was very good. The couple, parents and guests reported that they were delighted. What better way to celebrate and start out married life than by listening to the wisdom of the ages through storytelling

We rounded out the month by flying to Lodi
California to tell at an extravagant fund raising
party for the Lodi Public Library . We love libraries. Black ties, suits and lovely dresses (plus some cool casual looks) everywhere. There were also other tellers there to tell for the
crowd; Olga Loya and a popular local Sacramento duo, Mary and Robin Aurelius. The event

featured great gourmet food, wine form local vineyards, and storytelling between the courses. The patrons stayed at their tables set up throughout the library, while the
storytellers rotated around. This is their seventh annual event featuring storytellings. . In between courses, the storytellers had our own table to chat and swap storytelling experiences. The only problem with this was stopping chatting enough to go do the next storytelling set. Hooray for The Lodi Library Foundation for creating a wonderful storytelling venue, and for the audience being so enthusiastic.

And now....we move into October with all of the scary and not so scary story programs. Happy Halloween, and don't forget to look under the bed before you turn out the light.
