It was a spectacular night of stories, music, friends (current and future), food, and beverages in the funkiest of settings Deja Vu Furniture and More ― it made for “a little SoHo in SoNH.” The event was sponsored by The New Hampshire Writers’ Project and Derry’s Writers’ Night Out. (A few WFoD folk also competed.) If you find yourself near SoNH next February (date to-be-determined), come, pour yourself a beverage, sit down and let us tell you a story. Or, better yet, tell us one of yours!
