Now hear THIS
My friend Jeff has an alter-ego. A super-hero identity, if you will: J. Adams Oaks. And what J. Adams Oaks did was kick some serious ass and win WBEZ’s Stories on Stage short story competition Now Hear This, which means his (serious ass-kicking) story, “Connected That Way,” beat out some 700 other submissions for first place AND was performed at the Museum of Contemporary Art AND yesterday it was broadcast on NPR AND you can listen to it here. I suggest pouring yourself some champagne and kicking back on the couch for a while—that’s what we did yesterday at a little listening party at Jeff’s place. His story goes REALLY well with champagne. And maybe, just before it begins, you should raise your glass and do a little toast: “Here’s to J. f’ing Adams, storming the castle!”
