How I Learned celebrates six years of awkward funtimes this January with a dynamite lineup of talented foxes telling true, personal stories. The theme? Anything related to birthdays and anniversaries... in any way. Like, even if it's just a minor detail and doesn't actually have that much to do with the story. Fuck the rules. We're six now and we're out of control. We're bringing back a few old friends for this first installment of 2015, plus two new guests. I'm sure they're very nice. Come join us. Let's kick 2014 in the dick.
