The Newton Nomadic Theater periodically run an event at Gregorian Rugs called the Nomad Story Slam.  They are nights of community story telling.  Each slam has a theme and anyone can come and throw their name in the hat to tell a five minute story – and they have been wonderful nights of amazing stories.

Every Sunday, I post a single video story from the Nomad Story Slam archive.  This week’s is from Nomad Story Slam #4 last May.  The theme was “a long way from home“.  For that event we invited three Newton authors as special guests.  Newton author and City Councillor David Kalis was one of those guests.  David told a story about wild adventures in Russia from his book Vodka Shot, Pickle Chaser.

Many thanks go to our video team (Chris Pitt, Maureen Reilly-Meagher, Walter Frankel, and Chris Thayer) who’ve been recording and editing these events right from the very first one.
