We want YOU to pick our theme!
Here’s how it works:
1. Send your theme idea to our email address -
info@andersonstoryslam.org
2. Our MC, Joey, will pick the winning theme at the end of this week.
3. We’ll contact the winner by email, use the theme for our January event AND the winner will receive an Anderson Story Slam t-shirt.

In the event that more than one person emails the winning theme, the FIRST person who submits the theme will be the winner-so email your ideas now!

The next story slam event will be January 25th at 6:30 at McGee’s Irish Pub. Hope to see you there!

Congrats to David Gamble, the winner of our “Jeans/Genes” themes story slam!
He trilled the crowd with his story of a ski trip that ended with split jeans and snow-filled thermal underwear.

The next story slam will be Monday, November 2 at McGee’s Irish Pub at 6:30. The theme will be Genes or Jeans-take it however you like.

You can sign up to tell a story about your crazy family, about friends who feel like family, or about that terribly large nose you got from your grandpa. Or maybe take different route altogether and tell about something that happened to you while wearing America’s denim uniform- blue jeans.
Stories should be true and no more than 10 minutes long.
