This story won the Moth StorySLAM event in Somerville, Massachusetts. I tell a story about two underdogs who ran into one another back in the 1980s, and though they only had a short weekend together, it was enough to be warm, safe and loved.
The Moth StorySLAM events are storytelling events where audience members tell a 5-minute story which is judged by the audience. Winners go on to Moth GrandSLAM events, and may wind up on the Moth Radio Hour and podcast.
