great initiative mercedes,

this has already been organized on glocals either over dinner or by the fireside.

winter time lends itself to fireside sessions :-)

last time i told some stories from my book of short stories (Valuta in the Cover @ www.lulu.com))

there is a fireplace at the hotel chateau d'ouchy.

let's do this !

Sounds great!

What a great idea! I can't think of anything better than listening to a load of stories next to a fire during the long winter evenings. You should definitely arrange this.

Just lately I was thinking about something like that! Perfect! Count me in!

why are you guys so far away?

I'm also a fan and was thinking of getting in touch with the already established Swiss storytelling groups to do and English night. Never got round to it though. You know how life gets in the way. ;) 

But I'm glad you brought up the topic. 

Check out the Swiss Storytellers.

Dorothy, join one of our (hopefully) upcoming storytelling events and we will tell you...

Hi Stephanie

Will do as soon as I know more

Hey, well thanks for the replies.

If there is already an ongoing storytelling group it would be great to know more, could you send details? If not, I would be willing to try at least one night and see how it goes, if someone wants to help with finding a place, etc, you're more than welcome!
A bientot! 

I'd be happy to help you organize! But we need to maybe find something in between Geneva and Lausanne. 

Here's a thgouht. We could alternate between Geneva and Lausanne, one month in each place, perhaps?

I think we should have it in Nyon soon.

I'm in!! but only if I can tell stories about SBB trains and their (disgusting)toilets!?!

@ Carolyn

Would you also be up for a video of your good self in an SBB loo with your skirt billowing à la Marilyn M?  What a great one for the book!

Nyon is a good option. Then I don't have to fight the traffic to get into Geneva. :) 

Or take a filthy CFF train.

R.

I think we should compromise and do one in Geneva and one either in Nyon or Lausanne, because it is also quite hard for people in Geneva to have to travel to other places, so if we take turns one month in each place everyone's happy, not all of us will have to commute...

I never take the trains. Too filthy. ;) 

(J/K. I don't take them because I live out in the sticks with no public transport access so I need a car anyway, not that you all care! :D :D) 

Hey, here's a proposal.

Why don't we try and do the first one in Geneva, I can see if we can do it at La Taverne de la République on Rue de Carouge. We can vote the theme here and once we have the theme we can have 4 people to tell stories. I can volunteer to be the host the first night but I don't think I'm really good at it.
We can try to do it the first Thursday of November, for example.

Then the next one we can host in Nyon or Laussane.

Any thoughts, suggestions?
