last night at the Rickshaw Stop

January 19th, 2007 by Michelle

Last night at Inside Storytime, Karl Soehnlein read the sexiest story ever, about a gay guy who’s jonesing for his girl roommate Lou. Taelur Kim read his hilarious story, “Rock War,” a parable about a girl who gets herself invited to the boys’ weekly battle and proceeds to run the show–I heard this story at Taelur’s graduate reading at CCA, and it was just as good the second time around. Lolly Winston read her wonderful story “Only Some People” about the ill-matched Mr. & Mrs. B., which ends with a lovely line involving a parachute. Offstage, Lolly’s brother tagged host James Warner’s accent brilliantly, locating Warner’s origins within 60 miles of his hometown in England. No wonder SF Weekly called Inside Storytime the best new reading series!
