Yikes on bikes. These days, seems like every day feels like a hard day’s night, no? Things being what they are, have you been working like a dog? Do you at least have someone waiting for you at home who makes you feel alllllright?Tell us about a time when you had to dig deep, labor like you’ve never had to before. Were you just working for the man? Or was it your own ambition behind the wheel? Perhaps you finally ran out of steam, collapsing in a puddle of burnout.
Alternatively, you might have an epic story contained in one unbelievably long night—did you pull an all-nighter? find yourself in an E.R. waiting room at 2a with a loved one? drive all night?
Whatever your story of toil, trouble, or shenanigans, we’ll be waiting at Manuel’s Tavern on Tuesday, September 9 at 7p, where everything seems to be right, second Tuesdays of the month.
Come down early to join your fellow Carapeeps for a drink and some nosh, courtesy of the best wait staff in town. Reminder: there’s never any pressure to tell a story. We adore story listeners and storytellers alike.
STORYTELLING TIPS:
Plan your last line. A lot of times in personal storytelling, we think about how we want to start a story, but we don’t always think about how we’re gonna wrap it up. Sure, a great opening line—a real zinger—is super helpful. Still, thinking in advance about how you’re going to land your story is just as important. You wouldn’t get in the car without thinking about the destination. That last line is often where you might leave the audience with an embedded thought or a “what was learned.”
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!
