Storyteller
I kind of did a thing last night. Donald Davis is a famous storyteller from North Carolina I'd been hearing about for years. He had a free event last night at the La Grange library [well over an hour away--I got ze spouse to drive, 'cause that's how he rolls, literally ;)].
I wanted to dress appropriately. What does one wear for a storyteller? Seanan McGuire is one of my very favorite songwriters, & my favorite song by her is "My Story Is Not Done." I wore my t-shirt with that on it. Some ladies sitting near me noticed, & were very impressed. Win! [Hey, that's as close to a costume as I get.] The song is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAzxYuaok00 , & lyrics are here: http://seananmcguire.com/songbook.php?id=325
For a taste of how wonderful Donald Davis is, have a 15-minute TED talk about how story transforms the teller: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgeh4xhSA2Q
Btw, judging by how my normally composed spouse kept almost falling out of his chair, the hour presentation was well worth the 2+ hour drive.
Win!
