The 2008 First Person Festival is coming to a close tonight from 6-9pm. Join us for a soul-food buffet, documentary about Solomon Burke called Everybody Needs Somebody and a live performance from The Barbara Walker Story!
Beautiful brunch this morning at Fork Restaurant with Kim Sunee! Thanks to Ellen Yin for hosting…
We’re back at the Painted Bride this afternoon. A Family Gathering–a film produced by Lise Yasui and Ann Tegnell–is showing on the main stage presently, and we’ll have Lise Funderburg and Daniel Mendelsohn for Relative History from 4-5:30pm. And from 6-9pm you’ll want to be here for the Festival finale, Soul Supper!
What a stunning display of storytelling prowess last night at the Grand Slam. We’ll have video up as soon as we can, but first, thanks to our host Madi Distefano and especially to the gracious Juliet Wayne, the 2007 reigning champing. And of course our incredible crew of storytellers for 2008:
Kendra Gaeta, Ingrid Wiese, Sandy Beaches, Kevin Lee, Katonya Mosley, George Dougherty, Angel Hogan, Ted Passon, Donald Carter, Ryan T. Barlow and Tre Rials
The judges had to make some tough calls, but when all was said and done, here were the results:
Best Content: Ted Passon
Best Presentation: Katonya Mosley
Best Storyteller in Philadelphia: Ryan T. Barlow
