This sounds fun, but what is a story slam??
Is it make believe or real life stories....

Hi ms evelyng!

The stories must be true, they must be five minutes or less, and they must relate to the monthly theme which is "The Awkward Pause." Uwishunu has a bunch of videos posted on YouTube that'll give you some idea of what the evening is like. It's a lot of fun!

Just a reminder:
Tuesday April 22nd @ L'Etage (above Beau Monde at 6th and Bainbridge)
Doors at 7:30pm and the Slam begins at 8:30. (We're expecting a pretty good crowd for this one, so you'll want to get there early!)
Admission is $5, but First Person Arts is a non-profit, and we encourage you to donate more if you can afford it!

Oh yes, and there'll be drink specials!

Yes, I forgot to add that this would be an excellent topic for a StorySlam story...There's sort of an "Awkward Pause" in there...And if the cops showed up and wrote him a ticket, I'd hope he'd come out and tell the story in July when the theme is "Caught!"

Here's the full lineup in case today is your day to edit your social calendar...

Okay, tonight's the night! Vote first, tell stories later...

StorySlam at L'Etage (6th and Bainbridge)
Doors at 7:30, Slam at 8:30
5 bucks to get in, but we're a non-profit, so we could use a little more if you can spare it...

Bring your "Awkward Pause" stories about your porn-watching neighbors or whatever else you've got!
