"The Moth" is an organization that collects stories told by people from all over the United States. Here are links to a few of my favorite stories:
It's a Bird, It's a Plane -second story (that we listened to in class on Thursday) starts at 7:15 about problems while traveling
Sleepwalk with Me- a story about a man with a sleepwalking problem
Alex and Me- the story of a parrot learning to speak, read and talk

What is The Moth?
The Moth, a not-for-profit storytelling organization, was founded in New York in 1997 by poet and novelist George Dawes Green, who wanted to recreate in New York the feeling of sultry summer evenings on his native St. Simon's Island, Georgia, where he and a small circle of friends would gather to spin spellbinding tales on his friend Wanda's porch. After moving to New York, George missed the sense of connection he had felt sharing stories with his friends back home, and he decided to invite a few friends over to his New York apartment to tell and hear stories. Thus the first "Moth" evening took place in his living room. Word of these captivating story nights quickly spread, and The Moth moved to bigger venues in New York. Today, The Moth conducts eight ongoing programs and has brought more than 3,000 live stories to over 100,000 audience members.
