Join us for an evening of storytelling with some of New York City’s most influential and innovative producers of live storytelling shows. These are the people at the forefront of one of the fastest growing creative scenes in the country – to quote The Moth: “True stories, told live on stage, without notes.” This evening, curated by Moth GrandSLAM winner Brad Lawrence, will bring them together to perform and to discuss the process of crafting a story, the growth of the form, and its relationship to the broader world of the documentary arts.
Ask Me is a storytelling show that takes place at Arlo and Esme the first Wednesday of every month. It is co-hosted by Cammi Climaco and David Crabb.

The BTK Band is NYC’s hardest-drinking improvised storytelling rock band. Raconteurs regale the audience with true stories from their lives while music and lyrics are improvised to turn their stories into songs. As if Tom Waits and The Moth delivered a baby from the gaping maw of Chaos.
Peter Aguero was born and raised in the wilds of South Jersey. At times a high school history teacher, bar bouncer and ice cream truck driver, he now resides in Queens, NY with his college sweetheart wife. He spent 8 years in the National Touring Company of Chicago City Limits, NYC’s longest running improv show. Peter is a Moth GrandSLAM champion, host of Moth StorySLAMs, and an instructor for the MothShop Community Program. He is the lead singer of The BTK Band, NYC’s only improvised storytelling rockband, performing in residence at Under St Mark’s Theater in the East Village. Peter loves his Mom.
The Moth was started in 1997 and believes that everyone has a story. Following the extraordinary success of the Mainstage series, where stories are pulled from the general public and cultivated with coaches, The Moth sought to accommodate all the people who asked, “When can I tell my story?” The StorySLAM aims to give those eager storytellers a forum, and also to encourage folks who’ve doubted they had a story worth telling. The Moth StorySLAM provides a stage and a microphone, a theme to inspire and shape the evening, a lively and supportive audience, and a host to guide the festivities. SLAM stories are limited to five minutes, and ten stories are heard. The stories are scored by three teams of audience-member judges, and a winner is announced at every SLAM. The winners later face off in a Moth GrandSLAM. Since 2001, the raucous, moving, funny and wild stories that emerge during each show have kept the crowds coming back again and again. Now, each month, there are four Moth StorySLAMs in NYC , three in Los Angeles and one in both Detroit and Chicago. The Moth will add more cities in 2011. Stories from the StorySLAMS are regularly featured on The Moth Radio Hour, which airs in over 200 major markets in America.
Jenifer Hixson is Senior Producer at The Moth, where she developed and oversees The Moth StorySLAM. She rarely misses a StorySLAM meaning she’s heard approximately 2,890 five-minute stories. Story-wise, there are always laughs, usually a tear or two, and on occasion, blood. Great that after all this time, and all those stories, there are still surprises.
Standard Issues is a monthly show which is designed for veteran storytellers to try out new material and new storytellers to get their feet wet in a fun and welcoming atmosphere. Every third Tuesday, at 8 o’clock at Pacific Standard in Park Slope, you can see New York’s acknowledged best together with the up and comers who are making a splash and then drink with them. Then at the end of each show, the name of a mystery guest is pulled from the hat.
Cyndi Freeman is an actress, playwright and burlesque performer. She co-produces The Standard Issues story telling show in Brooklyn with her husband Brad Lawrence. She is a MothSlam winner and has appeared on story telling shows throughout New York, including The Liar Show, Stripped Stories, True Tales of College as well as others. She also performs burlesque as Cherry Pitz and produces Hotsy Totsy Burlesque with co-producer Joe the Shark. She is currently working on a solo show entitled Wonder Woman: A how to guide for little Jewish Girls.
TOLD is a monthly storytelling show hosted by Seth Lind and produced by Heidi Grumelot. The third Monday of every month, New York’s best performers take the stage at Horse Trade’s UNDER St. Mark’s Theater to tell true stories related to a central theme. A special guest provides interludes to glue the evening together into a collective experience.
Seth Lind hosts the monthly storytelling show TOLD, performs improv comedy with the group Thank You Robot, and is production manager for the public radio program This American Life. He’s also worked in various capacities on several documentaries and fiction films. Seth has a pacemaker but no known allergies.
Brad Lawrence, the curator of this evening, is one of New York City’s rising talents in the burgeoning world of live storytelling. A Moth Storyslam winner, and one of the few to achieve that distinction on his first appearance, he is also the only storyteller to win back to back Moth GrandSLAMS. He has also been a guest intro performer for The Moth’s outreach program to schools and institutional communities. He is a regular at such shows as The Liar’s Show, Speakeasy Stories, Seth Lind’s Told, The Risk Podcast, as well as How I Learned at Happy Endings and the show he co-produces with his wife, The Standard Issues, both of which have garnered him mentions in The New York Times. Brad is currently working on his memoir, Monsters In The Wood, and will be performing each chapter as a live show at Under Saint Marks Theater, beginning in November. His blog is billyjoesboy.com.

أسألوني
I thought i would try out this social experiment seeming as everybody is asking and telling anything to people here on flickr. I think i am actually quite good at offering advice and solving problems for people on the Internet and in real life. Obviously this form which can be found on FormSpring is completely anonymous. It is basically just a web online form where i get random submissions off strangers and it is also a great way to collect data/information.
*Update - The link has now gone, so i have now closed the FormSpring web online form and thank you all for the submissions in which i answered them all. Please read right at the end of the long comment where i have written a short paragraph explaining what i have learnt from this social experiment.
I am now going to be taking out a bit of time for myself and stop uploading for a while. I have loads of updating to do on my whole photostream so i am going to try to focus on that. I also think that the fact my creative concepts/ideas have just gone has not helped. So i am now taking the time to be a better contact/friend and hope to gain inspiration from all you lot on flickr. I recently also came across the amazing work of Simon Pais Thomas whose fashion photography work is just incredible. It looks like i will have to do one of those contact/friend showcase things very soon again but i don't want my photostream being full of them. Looking at the work of Simon Pais Thomas has made me realise that it's about treating self portraits like a journal really. I want to find the time to be more expressive within myself and find other ways to communicate to the audience about the way i am really feeling inside me. There are many more photographers who inspire me on flickr, some know who they are and the list contains too many to mention.
So i will be back in time with hopefully some very new fresh concepts/ideas which are exciting, original, and perceptive. Hopefully even extending my skills to build up a beauty portfolio which is totally new to me. Also having the time to make my fashion work even stronger in time as well as working on all other areas of moving image and photography. I need to stop making comparisons to the work of others and just focus on my own art/moving image/photography. I was given this sound advice by buttonheart (Chloe) and she is totally right. Also another thing i have learnt about myself is that i need to plan more in advance when i get a concept/idea as i always seem to get excited and rush everything. I need to realise that i can't expect things to fall into place for me straight away and i really need to stop being so negative about my photographs. I need more confidence and self belief so that is my main reason for needing time to myself. Lastly i will stay in touch with only my flickr contacts/friends photographs and i hope you all enjoy the rest of the holiday summer season.
For AskMe: installing an A/C unit in a jalousie window. The top piece of wood is the key, it's the brace holding the unit in the window. In turn, the unit is also holding the wood in place against the interior window molding with its upper flange because the unit's not-inconsiderable weight is slightly angled down toward the outside (you want to angle it down like that so condensation can drip outside, not pool up on your floor inside). The top wood bar is secured with L-shaped brackets screwed into the window frame. These brackets are hidden behind the accordian window cover that came with the A/C unit.
The bottom piece of wood turned out to be less important, although I initially spent a lot of time trying to come up with a way to make the window sill flat despite the metal tracks running its length. Turns out, you barely need anything down there, just something tall enough for the bottom flange of the A/C unit to butt up against and wide enough to give just a little bit of flat space for the unit to rest upon. This piece of wood is held in place with screws drilled straight down into the sill.
I'm using 2x2s for top and bottom. The darker piece of wood at the bottom isn't doing anything supportive, I was experimenting with how I wanted the moulding to look.
I initially worried that the unit might tip back inside, what with the cats often using it as a window seat, but their combined weight + my pushing down on the front still doesn't make this thing budge.

the 26 things i've learned through the 26 letters of my project Are :
↓
A. u Can start a project Suddenly without knowing how it's gonna end, as long as u r ready , things gonna work out !
i loved the edit much more than the shot itself so i decided 2 start the project, mm i hated the background , it 's lil bit dark & kinda distracting >.< but a lot LOVED it
B. U Don't have 2 upload a photo each and every Day !
that was my mistake here , i didn't have any new stuff so i uploaded an old 1 >.<
C. if you Don't have a well-prepared photo,Do not rush yourself !
that was the easiest and stupidest image\edit in the project :P , i really should take my time 2 upload sth Good .
D.Try 2 link ur work with a really meaningful idea !
i was killling myself that day 2 come up with an idea and yet i didn't chose the right quote:S
E.Playing kids images r always fun 2 see !
yes it's totally not pro and the dimension of the photo isn't wide enough , the cropping thing sux , but it brings me back 2 fun times with them <3
F. sometimes , the circumstances around u can give u an idea 4 a photo !
that was FUN 2 do wallah , i would process it lil bit differently though.
G.Quotes Are the most beautiful inspirations 4 a photographer !
yes , i did a lot of job on this 1 , just 2 apply what's in mind <3 loved it
H. if u weren't satisfied with the result ,Do not upload your photo until u FULLY R !
i like my idea but unfortunately ,didn't know exactly how 2 present it .
i. SET your lighting before shooting , night is the worst time 2 shoot 4 an amateur photographers !
i lllllloved the idea so much and i've could do it better if i had the perfect set of lights , couldn't wait till morning since i have no models 2 help me
<= once again,be PATIENT girl !
j. see things Differently !
again , quotes have helped me a lot bt also , i'm so glad about the result , i got better in cropping , using brushes , and adding more just 2 shine it up , however it needs more contrast.
k.Find the Perfect Models !
i've used the plural S here referring 2 the hand and the key ,
i had the idea 4 this image 4 a WHILE but the key wasn't easy 2 find at HOME ,later on i found a cool old key hanging on a medal in an accessory store =D costing me 45SR , but it worth it ;)
anyway , i asked Mom 2 help me and i took around 20 photographs and none worked ! but when i asked Dad at the end , it took me 1 min to make ONE perfect shot<3.
L.U can always try new stuff !
i thought i'de shoot the lips of some1 and do the same thing i did here , but as i said no models were available , so i decided 2 give the designing thing a try , and i'm soooo happy with the result =D
M.u Can always make old photos NEW !
come on ! use new methods 2 present ur old shot MORE beautifully , don't neglect them.
N.Discover what u already have ! the photoshop has a LOT ! get use of every lil privilege that provides u .use different textures , add ur own image stocks .
O. Be Creative , and turn an ordinary thing 2 an Extraordinary !
the result has blown ME away , i lloved messing with it and loved how turned out<3
P.Have sth or some1 2 inspire u , Not 2 copy ,but 2 help u develop your talent !
i've never ever thought i would try a thing like that O.o , but hey i DID , No harm in trying new crazy things right?
Q. Try 2 Capture a view as perfectly as u can!
this image was completely PERFECT , and it didn't need any editing , but what can i do i'm a PS addict now , can't help myself adding more and more:P
R. Be Lucky ! lol
seriously ! i can say nothing about this photo , i was so lucky 2 notice my sister's sunglasses !
S.Chose the right angle and the right Background!
the BG here was awesome , and i had 2 do sth about it , so i shot my rose in front of that cracked wall<3
T. Simple may appear Awesome !
that was totally random and never thought i would upload it , but with some treatment ,i really liked it =D
U.Open ur eyes and Be There !
i looked so funny and such a fool ,holding my Cam and sniffing between the bushes lol,no i mean trying 2 capture bees,insects,weird plants and roses. and oooh i don't care i'm just so happy i found some !
V. Fancy stuff aren't always the Beautiful ones!
sometimes the old , ugly , broken,Mdrd3aoneslol R soo coool !
W. Make sth from Nothing !
she was just WALKING ! what so cool about that ?
God! i would whoever invented the photoshop <3
X.make sure ur cam is ready ALL the time !
the car was speeeding , and although the car window was reflecting some noisy stuff ,i captured the most wonderful Cloud i've never seen , again with lil editing u will THANK GOD u didn't miss that view !
Y. Be Careful making a diptych , each photo should complete the other !
the colors , the lighting , the mood , and even the title , ALL should be harmonious to convey a ONE certain message .
Z.Never Give Up !
ok Now , i really thought i'll take at least a week or 2 to come up with an idea 4 this CRAZY letter ! Zebras , Zeroes , zZz <= lol,which should i pick !
how the hell can i do them in a GREAT way since it's the finale !
but last night , i decided 2 forget about the project lil bit and work on Merna's portrait ,so i start trying a new technique,i played with the photo many times,tried a lot of ways , the sun had rised and i'm still staring at my screen , messing with the photoshop and enjoying it !
when i decided 2 sleep , ( lamp on my head) YEAH BABY I GOT THE Z !
The End
........ And when you poured us together, it was SOMETHING ♥

السلام عليكم جميعا
اليوم الحمدلله خلص المعرض... وحابه اشكر كل من جا وشجعني ودعمني و دردش معي... وحب يتعرف علي
كانت فرصه جدااا حلوه ، بما انها اول مره اعرض فيها اعمالي قدام العالم،،،
صحيح في ناس فشلتني وقالت " طابعتهم من النت يعني وتبيعينهم؟ " وناس تحسبها رسم ،،، وناس قالت" ايش هالركن .. حق ايطارات صور؟ " هههههه
بس وحده قالتلي خذيها انها مدحه.. الناس مو متعوده تشوف فن التصوير كثير.. مع اني انا اشوف كثييييير سعوديات موهووووبات بالمجال الضوئي هنا بفلكر.. بس تفاجأت انه مو مرة معروف على ارض الواقع وكانت صدمة ان حتى بنات الجامعة .. الشابات ،اللي المفروض تكون عندهم خلفيه عن الفنون ... عن الصور اللي ملت النت على يدين شبابنا وبناتنا !! ، مايدرون ان في ناس تحب التصوير.
يمكن البعض يشوف المعرض على انه مو بالمستوي .. او انه عادي وبسيط.. بس بالنسبه لي كان راائع ... واي وحده كنت اخليها تبتسم اول ماتشوف صورة اعجبتها ومستها.... يفرح قلبي و احس اني اللي اسويه له معنى .. له فايده .. له قيمة
لما اشوف ملامحهم تتامل الصور... وتقول "ماشاءالله " او تهمس لصديقتها " ترى هذا من تصويرها " ... او اللي لما تعرف انه تصويري.. تفرح وتروح تنادي صاحباتها...
واللي قالتلي ابي اخذ كورسات تدربيني... لي الشرف والله
بجد... هنا اشكركم كللللكم... اللي اعرفهم والا ماعرفهم
صديقاتي الزاحفات ..كل وحده خذيت من وقتها لو شوي عشان تشوف وتستمتع بصوري :P اهلي ، الاستاذات ...
و بنات التنظيم الحبوبات في معرض رياده الاعمال .. عالدعايه اللي سووها لي
وباذن الله تكون هذي انطلاقه لشيئ اكبر
=D
شكرا شكرا شكرا

أسألوني
For AskMe: installing an A/C unit in a jalousie window. For the sake of aesthetics (already a very low bar when dealing with ugly window units) I didn't want L brackets on top but I was prepared to put them in, if it needed it. It didn't need it, the pair of L brackets on the underside are more than enough.
Right now, I have the gap between the glass panes and the unit blocked off with one of the panes I removed from the window. It's simply resting on top of the unit and leaning against the bottom-most pane. This means the pane covering the gap falls out if I open the jalousie window. As this particular window has two sections with separate controls, I just open the top section and leave the bottom one shut. Come this winter, I'll probably have to come up with a better solution (no doubt inspired by a forecast of a cold snap).
