MothUP Missed Connections

MothUP hosts another Storyslam tonight at 7 PM at the Work Gallery on State Street. The theme: missed connections, a la the Craigslist category.

All I can say about the last MothUP is that it wasn't surprising that two of the stories were about hitchhiking. Write (or I guess don't write) what you know. I fully supported the selection of the winner, whose story can be seen here:

  1. Erika, will you be relating your Ann Arbor missed connection story?

  2. What about *my* story? Is BCB going to spend all night recounting his years of reading missed connections?

  3. Benjito: I will not. As with most Missed Connections stories, it starts out embarrassing and makes a quick turn into creepy.

  4. GH: will you please enlighten us here?

    "You were chatting w/an older woman around 2PM in Comet on Tuesday--and you were adorable (and smart-looking...w/sparkly eyes, etc)!
    Am guessing you're a literature/history type, and'd love to hear from you... even if it's to learn you're gay, have a gf or similar.
    Best!"
