Anderson Story Slam #5

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.
