It may be the dog days of August, but I’m busy nailing down a number of speaking engagements in Washington, DC, Los Angeles, and closer to home, in Gowanus, Brooklyn. That gig is also the soonest: I’ll be one of five performers on a science storytelling show called the Story Collider on September 4th at 8:00, at a club called Littlefields (622 Degraw Street). The Moth for the geekily inclined, the Story Collider has a theme for each event, and this evening’s theme is, you guessed it, aging. Now to come up with a 10-minute monlogue “at turns funny and heartbreaking, [about] how our modern world is changing the way we age.” No sweat. No notes. No auditioning, at least. It should be good.
You’ll knock it out of the ball park, Ashton! I would be very interested in seeing the video of your presentation on how we’re changing the way we’re aging! Sounds like a campaign format to me. Welcome on board!?
