Bring Your Ownis a nomadic storytelling series that takes place in living rooms, backyards and other intimate spaces within the community. Each month, seven storytellers have 7 minutes to respond to a theme. BYO airs on All Things New Orleans and is a biweekly podcast on wwno.org.
This story was told in New Orleans on September 17, 2014 at 917 N. Dupre Street in the Bayou St. John neighborhood, and later produced by Karen Gardner. The theme of the evening was “Worth The Wait?” and here, Jesse Hardman tells of what happens when you're hanging out with Yao Ming, and Lawrence Fishburne shows up.
*Bring Your Ownis brought to you by Laine Kaplan-Levenson. The next Bring Your Own will take place on Thursday, January 22, at 1307 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd (on the third floor of the Myrtle Banks building). The theme is ‘SAVED’. Details here.
