That One Time Downtown

That One Time Downtown
The story telling series "That One Time Downtown" had its first event of the year on Thursday at DBA in the Northside District. Dina Younis and her sister, Nari Younis, told one of their family's favorite stories that took place during their childhood in Jordan. Barbara Feld spoke of an experience she had with Yo-Yo Ma, and Greg Pennypacker told stories from his adventures as world traveler. This monthly series, that started last year on the lawn at Cascade, moves to a different location each month with new speakers and Heather Burns as the MC.

It was also National Wine Day - cool reflections in the wine glass.

This room at DBA was pretty cool - but I sat in the back corner and kinda got stuck - it was not the most ideal spot for photographs - but still an entertaining evening.
