One of Seattle’s most beloved storytelling events turns 20 years old tonight. Salon of Shame is a window into our cringiest selves. A place where people willingly read pages from their teenage diary, in front of a live audience at Theatre off Jackson. Today, we’re looking back on 20 years of shame with Jeannie Yandel and Phyllis Fletcher, who are also on the editing staff at KUOW.
