Tomorrow night! We will come together and embrace our embarrassing moments. I'm not going to lie--I am shamelessly excited about my own event. Is that OK?
Anyway, here are two short films from readers Suzanne Guillette and Jon Friedman to get you pumped for tomorrow. One is Suzanne Guillette's "Much To Your Chagrin." The other is Jon Friedman's old promo for a special edition of The Rejection Show. It's one of my favorite things of all time, and not just because it uses Queen's "Somebody To Love" as the soundtrack. But that is a pretty major reason.
Okay, see you tomorrow!

Since 2009, How I Learned has featured some of the best live storytelling, comedy, and readings in New York City. It all happens a couple of times a year, and sometimes more than that, which basically means you'll have the best night of you life on those nights, repeatedly.
