The Moth: A story-telling movement in NYC

The Moth is dedicated to promoting the art of storytelling. We celebrate the ability of stories to honor the diversity and commonality of human experience, and to satisfy a vital human need for connection. We do so by helping our storytellers to shape their stories and to share them with the community at large. One goal of The Moth is to present the finest storytellers among established and emerging writers, performers and artists; another is to encourage storytelling among populations whose stories often go unheard.

This American Life: Fall Guy

Sometimes when things go wrong, parsing out who all is to blame and taking them to task is just too complicated and haaaard! What’s easy is pinning it all on one person and watching them go down in flames. This week Mike Birbiglia tells what it’s like to be the fall guy for an entire high school. Also, Philip Gourevitch on the most infamous fall girl in recent history, and Shalom Auslander on fall dogs and fall grandmas.

He meant annual.

1. The boy is making me watch this.

2. It was filmed in Cincinnati….so we’re analyzing each scene going: “Yeah yeah..we drove by that. Oh shit…that’s the bridge!” (This is exciting for non-Hollywood towns)

3. We have decided that we wish Rider Strong (not in the movie)..would be good for this movie and also that his name makes a great porn name.

As if Michael Jackson wasn’t fucked up enough, he never adopted his children…Debbie Rowe isn’t even the biological mother, and the dermatologist is the FATHER?! WTF
