Some good stories, storytelling needs improvement
Some of these stories are fun, interesting and insightful. However, the storytelling is often lacking. It seems like the storytellers are often unprepared. It sounds like people are just hanging out at "an undisclosed location in San Francisco" and want to tell crazy stories to each other. But sometimes the stories are rambling, with unnecessary or irrelevant tangents. Sometimes the laughter is awkward and excessive, which ends up being distracting. I also think that it detracts from the storytelling when the storyteller breaks off and laughs at his/her own jokes and funny bits. Finally, sometimes it seems like the story barely fit the theme. It might have been a good fit, but the way the story was told did not bring it back to the theme at hand. Storytelling is a lot more than just standing up and telling people what happened. There's much more to the performance of storytelling. And True Story lacks that part.Read full review »
