Eat My Heart Out
 What is this "Eat My Heart Out?"
by Amanda Eichstaedt

Ok folks. I have never seen so many "click throughs" to a link in the Round Up, yet we have yet to sell any tickets to this amazing event. Perhaps there is some confusion regarding why the tickets are so spendy $200 and really what to expect. The event creator, Eugene Ashton-Gonzalez took some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few of my questions.

The proceeds from this event will also be helping KWMR make the White Hot Burn and the Missing Monday Pledge Drive goal. 

Eugene

KWMR: What is Eat My Heart Out?

 

Eugene: Eat My Heart Out is a storytelling dinner theater where each course of the meal is an edible metaphor of the stories being told live on stage.

 

KWMR: How did you get the idea to start this supper club?

 

Eugene: I had been producing live storytelling shows - similar to what you'd hear on The Moth or NPR's This American Life - in New York for five years when I met a cook named Luke Davin. Luke was in culinary school and he loved storytelling, specifically stories that involved food. Together we dreamed up the idea that you could create a dinner whose courses were edible representations of the stories people were performing. On March 8th we packed 80 people in a beautiful loft in Brooklyn and were met with such warm enthusiasm by our community of friends and foodies that we realized we had to keep doing them.

 

KWMR: Can you tell a funny story about one of the events?

 

Eugene: Sure, there are oodles. One of my favorites includes when our kitchen oven pilot stopped working in the middle of our first show. There was a tiny kitchen in the loft where the show was happening and our back-of-house team had to quietly sneak in and bake off hundreds of cookies for the dessert course. Everyone was smelling delicious chocolate chip aromas and the cookies with the lavender ice cream disappeared very quickly. 

 

KWMR: Why should people attend?

 

Eugene: I've often heard that Eat My Heart Out works well because the entire evening ends up feeling greater than the sum of its parts. In a previous life I was a game designer and I have always been drawn to developing events that have interactive elements that take participants to places the designer could never have expected. We hand out colorful markers and crayons so you can write and draw on the table and generally kick back and listen to where your mind takes you. There is time in between the stories and the courses to share some stories of your own with new friends across the table. Some couples come on first dates and I end up hearing they're getting engaged. Luke and I were convinced when we created the show that the combination of good food and good stories does something to connect you with your own heart and realize what stories each of us are living this very moment. The stories in West Marin are definitely worth turning into a meal and our chef Eve Love has already had some delicious ideas. Half the fun when the plates go out is guessing how she interpreted the story to create what's going in your stomach!

 

Five storytellers along with a five-course dinner served in an exquisite setting. True stories and great food. A benefit for KWMR. Eat My Heart Out  supper club has been tried and tested and is coming to West Marin! 
A benefit for KWMR.

When: Saturday, April 26, 2014 @ 7:30 pm

Youth DJ  Feature: Devon McMorrow

Devon McMorrow

 "On the phone, long, long distance...."

            "Please, God, let him telephone me now. Dear God, let him call me now."

Dorothy Parker's "A Telephone Call" is a story that continues to ring true more than eighty years after publication. The concept of a hopeless (or is it "hopeful"?) romantic waiting for a phone call, letter, or message (in a bottle) has become a regular feature in magazines (like the Cosmopolitan article "How Many Days Will He Wait to Call?"), online forums, and (of course) rock 'n roll songs.

            Some songs are focused on the static in a relationship:

            The band Cake sings, "On the phone, long, long distance, always through such strong resistance..."

            "I write I'm sorry but my letter keeps coming back," croons Elvis

            "I had to intercept that letter. Telling you that I was better. I raced to catch the postman's van. He was leaving as I ran," Sting states sadly.

 

            Many tunes are filled with hopeful requests:

            "I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my, message in a bottle," declare The Police

            "So please call me baby, wherever you are," beseeches Tom Waits

            "I am calling, yes I am calling, just to speak to you," warbles Lou Reed

 

            While other singers emphatically state what they need:

            "I need a phone call, I need a raincoat, I need a big love, I need a phone call," the Counting Crows insist.           

            "Call me on the line, call me, call me any, any time... Call me," begs Blondie.

            "Any old time, you want to come back home, drop me a line, and say no more you'll roam," says local favorite Maria Muldaur.

 

            Some love songs ring with good news:

             "I got a telephone call from Istanbul, my baby's coming home today," Tom Waits shares joyfully.

            " She wrote me a letter, said she couldn't live with out me no more," sings Joe Cocker, as if he can't believe his luck.

 

            And sometimes we're just happy to hear your voice:

            "And then you call, and I feel like I'm a hero, I feel lifted up from zero," trills Trio.

 

            Whether the message comes via smartphone, rotary dial, or carrier pigeon, the theme is universal. The phone is ringing. Love is on the line.


You can catch Devon's show THIS Wednesday on KWMR. She alternates with Declan Katz (Declan's Hour of Soul). Wednesdays from 4-5 pm.
