Hey there Pen Tale Friends
So, for our first email of 2012, we wanted to take a moment to re-introduce you to PenTales so you know exactly what we're all about. Here it goes:
PenTales is trying hard to build a culture - online and offline - where people stop and ask each other about the things we all care about, no matter where we are from or what age we are. What sort of things, you ask: well, universal human things like home, love, fear, friendship, regret...
Why? We believe that by sharing perspectives on the same topics we sometimes learn that while we're unique, we're not actually all that different from each other.
How? We try to encourage people to share stories in person and online. With your help, we've hosted live storytelling events in all different parts of the world (did you know we've got an awesome storytelling series in Reykjavik and Lahore?). We've built a simple website where anyone can send in their stories on our themes - in any medium.
And now? We'll keep thinking of new ways to get you guys to share stories. Plain and simple. Hopefully you'll help along the way.
Life Lessons
The idea behind the project is that if we pool all our lessons and nuggets of wisdom, we just might all be little bit smarter. Like owls. Owls are apparently wise.
Is there some life motto you always return back to? Something you wish someone had told you when you were younger? Well, this is your chance to share some of your hard-learned lessons with the rest of the world.
We're asking people - old and young - to give us their nuggets of wisdom.
Answer these 5 questions and help us build an arsenal of advice for humanity.
Hemingway Room
ATLANTA.BERLIN.LAS VEGAS.
In September 2011, PenTales announced the opening of the PenTales Hemingway Room - a small beautiful room in an apartment in Prenzlauer Berg, one of Berlin's most inspiring and creative neighborhoods. We've had some amazing people join us there, including Lady Gaga's old DJ and an award-winning film director. It's been such a success, we're taking this idea to other cities. Creative people can now apply to stay for free in Atlanta and Las Vegas. The only requirement: they produce creative work during their stay. Check out the BLOG for more info on how to apply and how to host your very own Hemingway Room.
Join
PenTales is a passion project run by friends. We're all just volunteers who hope we're doing a little good in the world. We're excited for anyone to join us and pitch in - in whatever shape or form. Here are some ways you can join the fun: host a storytelling event, become a regular contributor (writing / video / photography), help us with any tech stuff (we're not very good at it), copyediting, social media, and the list goes on and on and on...
TV
We have an awesome YouTube channel where we share all the videos from our events. PenTales fans also add short videos on our themes. Tune in and send in your own video story today.
Salon Nights
PenTales holds live story-sharing events in 26 cities around the world.
The events are run by friends, friends of friends, and kindred spirits, who, like us, believe in the power of storytelling.
Whether in Pakistan or Iceland, the salon nights all share the same universal topics. We then use the power of the web to make the tales told at the live local events available across borders. The larger idea is to create a connection between people of different background by getting them to talk about the same things.

We wonder if your members would like to enter the competition and maybe some would like to join us at Ickworth Park on 23rd June 2012?
The details of how to enter are on the website www.poemforlife.com

I have been perusing the 'interweb' and wondered if any of you would be interested in these competition pages.
The Bridport page is a particularly good competition page with high value prizes for short stories and poetry or flash fiction. With the homework we all subscribe to, these sites would be a good way for any one interested to get their work 'out there'.
There is usually an entry fee but it all provides good practice.

On the run for 19 years
Eddie Maher, known as "Fast Eddie", has been arrested in America on immigration charges. He has been wanted in this country ever since he vanished after a £1 million theft from a security van in Felixstowe in 1993.The alleged crime happened outside Lloyds Bank in Hamilton Road, when a colleague made a delivery to the bank while Maher waited outside in the vehicle. The van vanished and was later found empty on the seafront. Gone was £1 million pounds in coins and notes.
Suffolk Police are liaising with US authorities and wish to interview Maher in connection with the robbery in 1993.
Meeting report for 7th Feb 2012
Here's to all members that braved the cold and crunchy weather on Tuesday evening.
Ten of us made it to the meeting: Dave, Caz, Carolyn, Dick, Tony, Rani, Liliane, Martin Barry and Ray.
The homework subject was NEWS and we had the usual diversity of entries ranging from true life to way out there.
Herein a short indication.
Tony gave us a stand up version of a news summary with many misprints.
Rani, another portion of her Ed stories. Where the narrator was checking papers and hearing strange voices.
Lilian, a long conversation piece with lots of chit chat.
Martin. A touching story from Anglia News of a tragic accident involving Kelly Green and her donations to other people in need of organs.
Ray reflected on his youth in Kent when he was a butcher's boy with many famous or soon to be; people.
My contribution was a brief run through of three weeks in America, trapped behind the Iceland volcano.
Dave gave us more involving Pauline called The Waiting Game.
Caz amused us with her shopping spree with a reluctant partner, searching for a red coat and the Lost Glove (ed: what about this as a follow up to the Lost Sock???)
Carolyn had a piece of most truth about the time
when a relative has to be told he is too old to drive. (but never too old for emotional blackmail.)
Finally Dick gave us a true story of how Herr Hitler spoiled his perfect day out at the seaside when war was declared.
Thanks to all and the next meeting will be on 21st Feb where there will be no homework, just two long pieces read by Dave and Tony, with the meeting giving feedback on their efforts.
Keep Scribbling.
Barry.
