Dear Friends and Other People I Care About (That Means YOU),
Have you heard? Basically, the gist of Time Out's latest "Is Social Media Bad for NYC" issue is: Step away from the computer and put down those newfangled superphones at least one night a month. Preferably every 4th Wednesday between, say, 7:30 and 10:00. It's good for you. Doctor's orders, pretty much.
"These recent arrivals to the NYC scene are so compelling you'll want to look away from Facebook--at least for a little while."
Stay Warm,
Blaise
PS. Details on the first super special show of the new year--on January 26th--coming soon. See you on the other side!
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.
YOUR HOST:
Blaise Allysen Kearsley is a Brooklyn-based writer and the creator, producer, and host of How I Learned, which has been a thing for a super long time.

Her writing has appeared in Longreads, Midnight Breakfast, VICE, The Weeklings, The Nervous Breakdown, two anthologies, and in several other places a long time ago that don't even exist anymore, and are perhaps not worth mentioning by name.
