A record crowd gathered for the celebration of World Storytelling Day on Thursday, March 11th at Just Us Cafe on Spring Garden Road. I could only stay for half of the event because of other commitments, but Wow!...what a variety of stories! Two of the stories I heard were so funny, I left with a sore face from laughing.
If you were at this event, please comment at the bottom and let me know how the rest of the evening went....I've heard rumours there were bagpipes and stories??? Sorry I missed that.

Listening to Tales of Love Over A Hot Cuppa
Wow! What great tales at Storytelling the other night. On Thursday, February 11th, 24 people gathered for stories at Just Us Cafe on Spring Garden Road In Halifax. A group from Katimavik attended and it was good to see other new faces too.
Here are a few hightlights:
Robert told a personal experience story that he watched unfold like a silent movie. With much anticipation, we could all imagine the scenes frame by frame: From a kiss and a truckers horn to an exploding slushie with much drama in between.
Linda told a humorous story about love, betrayal, trickery, tablecloths and dishrags.
Cindy told a tale called The Woman With Three Lovers based on a tale from A Folktale Journey. A woman's dilemma of choosing a husband based on who tells the best story.
Liz told a tale of making decisions, respect and togetherness and pulling a rope over a barn.
Claire's tale was from Haiti. A frog and a horse run a race for love with surprising results, and a humorous twist.
Cassandra told the tale of the Rose of Tralee, which is also a folksong. Afterward, many listeners tried to remember the words and tune. The next day, the words and tune were found and emailed around.
Betty's story of love, promises, betrayal and revenge took us all to the banks of the Nile in Ancient Egypt.
Yes, a lovely evening it was. Such a wonderful variety of stories and telling styles.Can't wait for the next one. Must mark it on my calendar: Thursday, March 11, 2010 - 7pm sharp.
