Hello from Backyard Story Night, post-COVID
Excited to hear Austin’s stories again soon.
Backyard Story Night is going old skool, back to email
We have a lot of people who liked and followed us on Facebook. We aren’t on there, anymore.
We’ll be sending event announcements and invitations over email.
All are welcome. We invite you to sit in the grass, make eye contact, laugh and talk, make new friends, and listen to stories. Bring food and drink to share.
Community-oriented informal storytelling = backyard story night
A bit about kindness
The world has experienced some chaos and confusion in the last few years.
Kindness is part of what we are trying to inspire at Backyard Story Night.
We think the land, the dirt, in Texas is kind. And it infects most people who walk on the dirt in Texas with kindness. If you find yourself not being polite or kind to all, or if you see or hear folks (with any kind of power) not being polite or kind: remember, we all make mistakes.
And, the land wants kindness. At Backyard Story Night we invite you to sit on a quilt laid over the grass and dirt.
The humility of that is nice. You are closer to the dirt. So you may get more kindness.
Also consider these other great events in town
In the meantime, other nice events exist, like:
Erin and Matthew’s Hyde Park Storytelling.
