Episode #8: I Dream of NY NOW
As we all endure an August with no NY NOW, I’m hosting a longtime exhibitor, Joni Lewis, the super-creative mind behind Visual Treats Design Studio.
The Moth
I’m a big fan of The Moth 
and listen to the show each week on NPR. So I was very excited to travel to Washington, DC to actually *see* a live show. We found a parking space in front of the theater but we’d need to pop out to feed the parking meter. I stopped to ask the nice man at the Moth swag table if there would be an intermission. When he offered me his pen 
to fill out the application to tell a story, I declined, saying no, I only planned to listen. But he said, “oh c’mon, don’t you have a story about ‘education’?”. And suddenly I thought of the perfect story, took a chance and put my name in the hat.

After winning the Washington DC StorySLAM I was invited to compete against nine other winners 
in a Moth GrandSLAM on the stage of the Lincoln Theatre. That night’s theme was ‘Crash Course’. Enjoy!
We'd love for you to join the party! Follow the fun on Instagram and peek into the studio on Facebook.
