**Correction to the introduction of this episode** This last November (NOT this last December), we were invited to participate in LitCrawl, an annual literary event in Portland where various performances occur all around different venues. For our event, we had 45 minutes. Five performers. Six stories. With the Colin Trio being our live band. This was an experiment that wound up facing a packed crowd and being invited back for next year! Thank you to Tabitha Blankenbiller, Jennifer Robin, Kevin Sampsell, Margaret Malone, and Brianna Barrett for performing.Hear more episodes: sttspod.comLearn how to become a patron: patreon.com/sttspodClick here to rate us on iTunes.
