All Ears Storytelling – an inspiring new story evening organised by some friends of ours – is on 17^th November 2010 at The Hub Kings Cross.

All Ears is a new evening for intuitive Londoners who are looking for something different.  Three to four guests each month will be selected for their experience, knowledge and commitment, and given centre stage for 10-15 minutes each. The evening becomes an open forum where the audience can put their burning questions to each storyteller.

Speakers for 17^th November include:

Kevin Maguire and Sejal Parekh tell the story of how Kevin's family has built The Good Life Orphanage in Kenya and how they've changed the lives of 50 (and counting) young children, taking them from the unloved streets into a welcoming home where they can develop and grow.

Deborah Frances-White is a stand up comic, screenwriter and Director at The Spontaneity Shop. Her story will be an entertaining and insightful look at how to have unbelievable charisma and use it to your advantage.

Ben Matthews is the founder of Bright One, the first volunteer-run communications agency for the third sector, which he runs in his spare time. At just 25 years old, Ben's story of working with incredible charitable organisations is inspiring to say the least.

Justin Miles is preparing to attempt the longest unsupported polar journey in history. However, 11 years ago Justin was involved in a near fatal car accident that left him unable to walk or talk.

All Ears will be held at The Hub King's Cross – a unique business centre and inspired space for meeting, working, innovating, learning and connecting.  The Hub is a minute’s walk from King's Cross St Pancras stations and close to many bus routes.

 Tickets are £12 each in advance (plus booking fee).  A small allocation will be available on the door at £15.  Doors open at 7pm and stories begin at 7.30pm.  A range of soft and alcoholic drinks will be available as well as delicious light meals.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Internet .

Dan Hon has attempted to sweep something massive under the carpet. A monumental victory has taken place on Hanbury Street, something that Emmeline Pankhurst, her Suffragette friends and all 5 members of the Spice Girls would be high fiving about. But something than Dan Hon thinks should be stuffed into an email trail.

Nike GRID happened. You all know that.

Let it be known that the WK boys challenged the girls.

The boys were defeated monumentally.

4360 points to the boys plays a sparkling 9170 points to the girls.

Watch the events in glorious technicolour here:

(Arguably the film belies the level of grit and determination displayed throughout the 2 week period)
