Six-Word Jewish Memoir Event in SF

Can you describe your life in six words? Larry David, creator of Curb Your Enthusiasm did: “I should have had the chicken.”
 
Try it yourself Feb. 4 at a live show at the Elbo Room in San Francisco of the wildly popular Six-Word Memoir project: Oy! Only Six? Why Not More? Six-Word Memoirs on Jewish Life. The show and the book behind it capture the complexity, humor, conflict and passion about the Jewish experience today -- six words at a time.
 
“Found Jewish princess. Goodbye succulent pork.”

“Family spends meals discussing other meals.”
“Nobody told my hormones I’m Orthodox.”
“Bar Mitzvah video used as blackmail.”
“Everything with us a question, why?”

 
 
Show MC’d by Larry Smith, creator of the Six-Word Memoir project. Featuring: Wise Sons Deli owner Leo Beckerman with six word complaints at a Jewish deli, comedian Aurora Simcovich, musician Aaron Glass, writer Josh Healey, designer extraordinaire and singer Rebecca Bortman, poet Dyanna Loeb, and modern day storyteller Aviva Frank.
