Hi Folkie,

Go to http://www.storynet.org/. The storytellers site. Also there are many festivals with storytellers at them with workshops to be attended.
Look for Clever Gretchen's societies in large cities.

Look up Bill Smith and The Adirondack Liar's Club.

I'm considered a bit of a windbag my ownself. May be some day I'll tell you how my Dad crashed a plane and invented the down filled vest all in the same week end.

Good luck

Don
