Nota bene: Old storytellers never fade away they just
keep encoring old material again and again until
there's no audience left.

"The potential to say a racist thing or
think a racist thought resides
in all of us like an unearthed mine
from a forgotten war."

the local Baltimore edition?
That's "miss" as in emotionally missing something.
If you think you missed noticing it and therefore missed experiencing it, well, you didn't. The event never appeared on any calendar because it didn't actualize.
If you missed it in the emotional sense—you had been waiting for it, looking ahead for some announcement of it, and are gravely disappointed that it did not come to pass once again, do let us know, one way or other. Not that it will effect any changes—storytellers age and fade, you know—just for me to know whether anyone noticed, and grieved a bit. Eh?

JUST HOW SMART?

UNFORTUNATELY, the group of storying folks that used to convene once monthly, ten months of the year~
a group that went by the name "Fourth At Four"~
begun in the mid-1990s, most recently met at Pickersgill in Towson. UNFORTUNATELY that group won't be meeting again in 2016, and may not be meeting regularly (if at all) in 2017. Over twenty years of activity, well, there's bound to come a change. Arteries clog up.
