1/8 The Moth Pittsburgh: Intentions @ The Rex Theater

8PM TUESDAY The Moth returns, hosted as always by Manchild author Alan Olifson.

INTENTIONS: Prepare a five-minute story about best-laid plans. To do lists, apologies, New Years resolutions. Making something happen through sheer will. What I meant was….

*All tickets become available one week before the show, at 3pm ET.

*Seating is not guaranteed and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please be sure to arrive at least 10 minutes before the show. Admission is not guaranteed for late arrivals. All sales final.

*It has been four years since we last raised SLAM ticket prices; we are doing so for 2019 in order to keep up with rising production costs.

Media Sponsor: WESA

Books of 2017

Here they all are, albeit blurrier than IRL. Available wherever they are sold (the authors, your local bookmonger or library, an evil, horrifying corporate leviathan, etc.). The ones I edited & laid out all have “man” in the title & the ones Mark Spitzer did all have “ar” & “la”.

Here they are again, in order of release, w/ better pics:

Thanks for reading & see ya next year!
