Back Fence PDX is an evening with six people telling their true six-minute stories based on the month’s theme. The events take place bimonthly. The second Back Fence PDX event will be held on August 13th at Urban Grind East, 2214 NE Oregon St. For $7, you will hear six six-minute, true, unscripted stories from Portland Mercury news reporter Matt Davis, fashion designer Adam Arnold, IFCC creative director Adrienne Flagg, performance artist Reuben Nisenfeld, radical feminist Frances Miller and short-story smithy Frank D’Andrea. This month’s storytelling theme is “True Colors.” Musical interludes will be performed by Ralph Huntley. Dinner service will begin at 6:30 p.m. and doors for the event will open at 7:30 p.m.

Back Fence PDX, which is the cousin of San Francisco’s Porchlight Storytelling Series, is also a blog with a weekly story by a writer, blogger, or someone with an unusual story about the topic. For more information, visit their website.
