Carapace for January: Live & Let Die

Faced with the prospect of more New Year’s Resolutions, when was a time you had to make your peace with letting go? Did you say, “Out with the old, in with the new?” Tell us about running into your high school ex at the grocery store and letting that dream die over the avocados.
Death, oddly, can spurn any number of surprising predicaments. Perhaps Crazy Cousin Darrell fell in the open grave. Or maybe the aunts had it out over who was gonna get the china.
Whatever your story, we’ll be resolutely waiting, as always on the 2nd Tuesdays, at Manuel’s Tavern. While the show begins at 7p, we encourage folx to get there early and get their orders in with the finest wait staff in town. As a reminder, we welcome story listeners and storytellers alike—just as long as you’re a connoisseur of stories (and of Manuel’s food).
Notes for a wide-awake story experience…
*no notes
*no political rants
*no stand-up comedy
*no hate speech
This is OG storytelling, like our ancestors used to do around the fire.
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)
Please write back to us here if you’d like to volunteer!
