Name: Carapace for January: Begin Again
Start: 2025-01-14T19:00:00-05:00
Location: Manuel's Tavern

Happy New Year, Friends & Fans!!! (We missed you.)
Before we begin (again) with our prompt…Please note our much anticipated change from fourth Tuesday to the second. We’re excited!
Now…who doesn’t have a great story about starting over? And over and over again? Feels like you might not be living your life right if you’ve never struggled to quit a bad habit, start a gym routine, or unexpectedly found yourself out on your ear. We bet you maybe have a few stories about getting re-established.
Like we said, we’re wiping the slate clean by showing up at Manuel’s Tavern on second Tuesdays of the month moving forward. So, take a deep breath in the mirror and meet us at Manny’s on Tuesday, January 14 at 7p. Storytellers and listeners alike are all part of the starting line. Let’s get a-goin’.
Notes for a refreshing storytelling experience…
*no notes
*no political rants
*no stand-up comedy
This is OG storytelling, like our ancestors used to do around the fire.
STORYTELLING TIPS: The Story Sandwich...If you think of your story like a sandwich, the first line and last line are like the bread that holds it all together. You don’t tend to make a sandwich from two different loaves. See if you can find a way to have the first line and last line of your story complement or match each other so that they demonstrate they’re from the same loaf of bread.
FREE STORY COACHING: We tend to be at Manuel’s by 6p on the night of the show. If you’d like a little coaching as you prepare to get up on that mic, please feel free to arrive in the hour before to talk through your story’s points for some potential ideas or help with shaping it.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: We always need volunteers to make our events run like clockwork. Roles include:
*greet people at the door & encourage sign-ups
*keep up the tradition with timing stories
*be our personal paparazzi! (take photos)
Let us know if you’d like to volunteer!
