<\/a>The Twelve Days of Story Night continues with a spotlight on another one this year’s top storytellers: Joe Coluccio.<\/p>\nTruly a man for all seasons, Joe is currently the President of Parsec<\/a>, Pittsburgh’s premier science fiction organization, founded to promote awareness of all aspects of the speculative fiction genre. As part of its mission, Parsec annually sponsors Confluence<\/a>, one of the country’s friendliest regional sf conventions.<\/p>\n Joe’s additional accomplishments include founding the comedy group Lackzoom Acidophilus<\/a>, which had a Saturday night show on WYEP-FM<\/a> (where Joe was an early program director), and a Sunday morning show on WURP-AM. They have also performed at various venues in and around Pittsburgh, including The Decade<\/a> in Oakland.<\/p>\n A life-long writer and a member of the Pittsburgh writing organization Write or Die<\/a>, Joe made his Riley’s debut at our Writers on Writing<\/a> session back in May. His story, which centered on a piece of fiction that took 20 years to write, was a terrific crowd pleaser.<\/p>\n
