Was I the only member of the Massive at last night's event? If so, you lot missed a treat. TSTL is the latest venture of The Word's own David Hepworth and its very very good. Its an evening of stand up story (as opposed to joke) telling and is a monthly venture held in an upstairs room at The Compass pub in Islington. NB The pub serves very good beer and, although I didnt try the food,(food being the enemy of the drinker and all that) it looked and smelled terrific and is worth a visit on its own merit.

Various Word galactico's were present. Jude Rogers told a story that, among other things, explained why Led Zep played a record of an old Welsh song as they trooped off stage at the end of their reform gig at the o2. Fraser, Mark Ellen and David Hepworth himself of course were also there.

I'd strongly recommend coming along to the next one if you can. You can find out more here: http://www.truestoriestoldlive.com/2010/01/the-morning-after/

I've done a fuller review in my blog if anybody's interested (and I'm not breaking any blog rules) here:

An excellent night out. It might be an idea for a London Word Massive meet up at the next one of these in Feb?
