Do the Right Thing: A Spike Lee Joint

Now that iPod is back in my life, I've started downloading podcasts to that little black box of joy to enlighten my bus/metro/pedestrial transit. I love listening to This American Life and random sermons, but the newest addition to my playlist had been constantly recommended to me by my college roommate Jessica. Finally I gave in. So far I've listened to a hilarious story about a woman who begrudgingly travelled to Disney World for her younger sister's wedding and the account of a drug addict who decided to become a comedian instead of commit suicide. Laughter is the best, yeah?

To give a little background, The Moth is...

"A not-for-profit storytelling organization, was founded in New York in 1997 by poet and novelist George Dawes Green, who wanted to recreate in New York the feeling of sultry summer evenings on his native St. Simon's Island, Georgia, where he and a small circle of friends would gather to spin spellbinding tales on his friend Wanda's porch. After moving to New York, George missed the sense of connection he had felt sharing stories with his friends back home, and he decided to invite a few friends over to his New York apartment to tell and hear stories. Thus the first "Moth" evening took place in his living room. Word of these captivating story nights quickly spread, and The Moth moved to bigger venues in New York. Today, The Moth conducts eight ongoing programs and has brought more than 3,000 live stories to over 100,000 audience members."

Or ignore this advice which is what I did for a couple years. Then taste the rainbow when you are bored one "morning" at two in the afternoon.
