Blaise Allysen Kearsley's How I Learned series features writers, storytellers, comics, and other raconteurs holding forth on lessons learned, unlearned, relearned or in progress. The How I Learned Series happens once a month, and sometimes more than that, which basically means you will have the best night of your life on those nights, repeatedly.



HOW I LEARNED TO CHILL THE F@#K OUT ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS

Guys, I don't really know what else to say here. There's, like, a million things. Everything's fine. I need to calm down. Just come to this show or I'll have a total freakout.

If you catch her after the show, she will gladly explain to you the difference between who and whom. She is a producer and host of New York's only science storytelling show, The Story Collider, as well as editor of its online magazine, and she performs monthly with her storytelling team, Mimsy, at the Pacific Standard. She is a recent Moth GrandSLAM champion.
