San Diego DimeStories took place on a cold and rainy night the 2nd Friday in December at the home of San Diego Writers Ink down in Liberty Station— you’ll hear the planes landing at nearby Lindbergh Field in the recordings… but the sound of those planes didn’t stop the readers from sharing their stories. The Best Ofs include:
Lawrence Johnson, “The 3rd Floor”
Cheryl Sonstein, “Confessions of a Caregiver”
David Latham “I Sorry So Sorry”
Brad Davidson’s “Merry 4th of July” was a crowd favorite, and though it went over by 15 seconds! we’re posting it anyway in the spirit of the holiday season:
There were so many good stories in Orange County (every 2nd Sunday of the month! at LCA Wine) that they couldn’t select only three!
Nicholas Thurkettle, “Change of Venue”
Liz Zuercher, “Mrs. Schlobaum’s Christmas Cookies”
Niina Satola, “An Open Letter to the Wasp Trapped on the 71v”
Pam Tallman, “A Christmas Gift”
Louis Rodriguez, “The Trustifarian”
Anna Yamamuro, “The Tree”
And on a cold night in Albuquerque ( winter does come to the Duke City–it’s not Phoenix!) we gathered at The Source for hot wassail, tamales, and various goodies to share stories. The Best Ofs included:
Karen Fausnaugh, “Love Analytics”
Kim Adonna, “Blue Pants that Glitter”
Mopsy Matthews, “Treasure”
