The theme for our May event is “Best Laid Plans.”

 

A plan is like a story we tell ourselves about the future: a story for a day, a decade, a life. Yet often, these stories take twists. Tell us about how the unexpected interrupted your routine - the crash, the weather, the surprise visit.  

 

When was the last time you were seriously late for work, a wedding, a performance? How did that play out? 


Did someone get in the way of your plans? Was the result better or worse than you expected?

Plans are also about power, relationships, and communication: We make plans for other people all the time, or try to. Were you ever a part of someone else’s plans, with or without your knowledge, with or without your consent? What about your plans for your relationships, friendships, and family?

 

As always, take our theme descriptions as a starting point, but don't let them limit you. We invite stories that invert this theme in creative ways and go in unexpected directions.

No matter what, you have a story, and the rest of us want to hear it.  But don't come to give a general speech about it.  Come tell us a story.  Think of a specific time in which you figured prominently.  Reflect on your story.  Have the courage to go back to the emotions, and, most importantly, your vivid memory of the events that caused the emotions. Then, craft your story (here are some tips on how), and come to The Corner ready to tell it. We want to hear it.
