Thanks & Crimes & Misdemeanors

Massive thanks to everyone who came along to last night's CRIMES & MISDEMEANORS reading! We had fantastic stories, amazing performances, and an awesome audience... You'll be able to read all the stories from the evening on our website later today, and listen to the recordings and podcast on our site, in the iTunes Store and on Stitcher Radio over the weekend.

In the meantime, I just want to say a massive thanks to our writers, Thomas Kearnes, Steve Young , Kevin Norris, Todd Mercer, and Angelita Bradney, and our actors Jeff Wills, Seth James, Samantha Jane Gurewitz, Jon Sprik, and especially Lauren Clark, who jumped in at the last minute!

We'll be back at KGB on 2nd December - and if you'd like to submit a story, our next deadline, for Magic & Moonlight-themed stories, is Saturday, 31st October!

We’re excited to bring you another thrilling installment of Liars’ League NYC: it’s the Crimes & Misdemeanors edition on Wednesday, 7th October at KGB!

CHICKADEES by Steve Young

THE ANGRY ASTRONAUT by Kevin Norris

BECAUSE HIPSTERS by Todd Mercer

The Biggest Short Short Thanks Ever!

A huge thanks to everyone who came along to last night's Short & Sweet Flash Fiction event! We'll have the stories up on our website in the next 24 hours, and the podcast and recordings online and in the iTunes Store as a free podcast over the weekend.

Thanks for coming out to Born & Bred!

Huge thanks to everyone who came out to KGB last night for our Born & Bred episode - we had an awesome night! And we know this because of the generous benefactor who came up and tipped us during the course of the show, which we think sets a welcome new bar for literary appreciation...  

Of course, the lion's share of thanks go to the very talented few who made it all possible: writers Scotty Weeks, Erika D. Price, Mary Crosbie, Monica Busch, and Kate Weinberg, and actors Alex C. Ferrill, Matt Alfor, Olivia Killingswort, Kristen Calgar, and Roya Shanks!

If you missed out, you'll find the stories up on our website later today, and we'll have the recordings online and in the iTunes Store and on Stitcher over the weekend - all completely free. Thanks again, and don't forget, our next deadline, for Flash Fiction under 1000 words, is June 30th!
