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
Thank YOU, First Person! You are the real champs. Seeing that sold out crowd, that MOB, coming out hear real-life stories made me feel SO proud to be a part of this city and this amazing community of artists.
Hey, we’d be nothing if we didn’t have a solid band of great storytellers willing to share some of the most embarrassing, hilarious and touching moments of their lives. It’s pretty awesome to be in your company!
