Sorry about the technical difficulty where some of you only saw the headlines. Aweber was kind to share the way to correct this issue. We should be fine now.
The National Storytelling Network Board is coming to Utah for the first time on July 31st (details below). What better way then to celebrate by attending one or more Utah storytelling events?
If you know any events that are open to the public, then please email me. Deadline to submit is every 1st and 15th of the month.
For those on Facebook, the Utah Storytelling Guild is a group on it. You can also follow announcements from the guild on Twitter through utstoryguild. When you follow StorytellingAdv on Twitter, you will receive the daily "YouthTellerTip" besides everyday comments from me.
Enjoy the newest blog entry " Within Grasp: 3 Effects and 11 Trends of Art Audiences for storytellers to Reach" at http://www.storytellingadventures.blogspot.com.
Another blog is "Family Famine: Hunger for Love" that has posts beyond the narrative production premiere and focuses on the artistic and marketing journey at
http://www.familyfamine.blogspot.com. A support group is also available on Facebook. You an order a copy of the premiere DVD online through Paypal.
Until we tell again,
