It’s official: The first For Real For Real open mic was an overwhelming success! The crowd was warm and attentive, and each storyteller was strong and precise. In fact, we agreed that this was the “purest” night yet — this chain suffered no weak links.
Last night we heard about:
- The perils of punch-card machines
- The joys of stealing ball-pit balls from McDonald’s
- How [not] to rob a bank [with funny voices]
- A Pride Parade traffic jam in New York City
- Stabbing oneself with a buoy knife
- Getting rescued from a car-accident by Colonial re-enactors
- Sleeping. On a bar. At happy hour.
- The Dare Master (and how this led to a bent bicycle and a broken nose)
- The “Naked Ninja” (and for this one, in particular, you just had to be there).
As late as 7:30 p.m., we had NO IDEA what to expect of the evening’s performance. But the results are in: 4R4R Open Mic will be a regular monthly feature. Stay tuned.
