StorySlam Oakland: Didn't See It Coming

StorySlam Oakland returns with: "Didn't See It Coming."
Come tell us your true story of that thing you didn't see coming and what you did about it. Or tell us the story of that trick you pulled off. Or that left turn your life took. Any way you want to interpret the theme is fine with us.
Or just listen and laugh. (Caveat: not all stories may be funny. Sometimes what blindsides you is truly terrifying.)

Rules: For a chance to tell your true story on the theme, "Didn't See It Coming," put your name in the hat.
Stories must be true, about you (not someone else), and 5 minutes or less. No notes or reading allowed. We will have a timer to keep you on track. We usually have time for 8 to 10 storytellers.

Doors open at 6:30. Stories begin around 7:30. Seating is first-come, first serve. The Sound Room serves wine, beer, snacks and light meals. Order at the bar and be served at your table. We recommend you arrive early enough to pick your seats and get your beverages and food. There will be one intermission.

The venue is wheelchair-accessible. The stage is not, but we will do our best to accomodate differently-abled participants.
StorySlam Oakland is not responsible for the content of the open-mic stories. For this reason, younger children are not advised to come.

StorySlam Oakland is Oakland's longest-running AND independent true storytelling show, started by Julie Soller in 2013. It is hosted by Julie Soller and Inanc Karakaylac -- renowned Bay Area comic, kite surfing instructor, and abstract painter.
