We're bringing you a story, courtesy of our partnership with the 2nd Story festival. You've heard a couple of stories recorded at events held by 2nd Story in order to create a storytelling circle, of sorts. You listen and hopefully are inspired to tell your own story. This story comes from Lisa Fairman, she originally performed it earlier this year at Webster's Wine Bar in Chicago.

Tell your story!
Email us with your name, contact information and, of course, your story.
We send those submissions along to the 2nd Story folks who will choose a winning story to share at their performances Sunday and Monday at Webster Wine Bar.

If you win, you'll get free tickets to that reading. Read all the details of the series.
