Bring Your Ownis a nomadic storytelling series that takes place in living rooms, backyards and unconventional spaces within the community. Each month, seven storytellers have eight 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 on June 18, 2015 at Wonderland Studios and later produced by Karen Gardner. The event was in partnership with Live Law, a national storytelling podcast that’s part of the Infinite Guest Networkfrom American Public Media. The theme of the evening was "Eyewitness," and here, Skylar Fein celebrates when New Orleans decided skateboarding was actually a good thing for the city.
Bring Your Own is a production of Laine Kaplan-Levenson. The next BYO will take place on August 15 in partnership with Shotgun Cinema for their True Orleans doc festival. For more stories, go to bringyourownstories.com.
