Okay, so the proper way for me to do this would be to make this announcement via a YouTube video. And I will soon, I promise.
"The Ancient Art of Storytelling" Group at YouTube hereby issues a challenge for the month of June 2007 for storytellers to upload as many stories on video as they can.
I meant to announce this last week. So get to work.
The Gypsy Moon Tellers must have been reading my mind because they've already added two.
New ones, old ones*, doesn't matter. Sound doesn't sync up? Yeah, that's weird, it's a problem, but if you can live with it, so can we.
Will there be prizes? Maybe. Bragging rights? Definitely.
Start posting.

Oh, and PLEASE only add videos of storytelling. Not promotional videos about you as a teller. Not an interview with you about storytelling. The challenge is to add
stories.
