Sometime around the latter part of November in America, people start talking a big game about being overly stuffed—harvest, bounty, buffets, cornucopias. If you’ve got a story that’s alluded all prompts thus far, this is the month for you. Now’s the time. Olly-olly-oxen-free!We’re always on home base at Manuel’s Tavern fourth Tuesdays of the month. That’ll be Tuesday, November 26 at 7p. Storytellers and listeners are all part of the game. Ready, set, go.
AAAAAAALSO, last month and this one, we’re hosting a special “social hour.” Please consider getting there early, or staying a little after, to chat us up about plans coming ‘round the bend for 2025!
Notes for a veritable smorgasbord of a storytelling experience…
*no notes (even and especially on your cellphone)
*no political rants
*no stand-up comedy routines
This is OG storytelling, like our ancestors used to do around the fire at night.
*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: We always need volunteers to make our events run smoother. Roles include:
*greet people at the door and encourage sign-ups
*keep up the tradition with the wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey stuff
*be our personal paparazzi! (take photos)
Please let us know if you’d like to volunteer!
STORYTELLING TIPS: Many a story can fit into a theme. It’s just about how you introduce or land it. A great first-timer recently almost didn’t try getting up on the mic because she was afraid her story wouldn’t match the theme. With just a little encouragement, we were able to help her find a great way into the story that helped her see her story was great and well worth the risk. Please, if you’re feeling shy, and especially if you’re not sure whether your story fits a theme, feel free to reach out.
