STORIES MY FRIENDS TELL MEWEDNESDAY → AUG 30FREE, 7pmAs Donald Trump begins to destroy American society as we know it, it's more important than ever for creative people to build community and respond to nihilism with meaning. With that in mind, Stories My Friends Tell Me is a series (hosted by Chris Cobb) where friends have five to ten minutes each to tell an important story from their lives.

"When the waiters elegantly slipped the small plates in front of the guests, I had my first sight of three hundred golden forks and knives raised and glittering through the dining rooms. The headwaiter signaled us to begin pouring the Mosel, and my moment came when I saw they'd forgotten to serve the Emperor his wine. I wrapped a napkin around a bottle, approached the Emperor, and without really knowing how it happened, I went down on one knee like an acolyte and bowed, and when I stood up, everyone was looking at me while the Emperor made the sign of the cross on my forehead and blessed me. Then I poured his wine."-from I SERVED THE KING OF ENGLAND,by Bohumil HrabalOn our shelves in Fiction.
