Something Witty This Way Comes — Story Slam

Friday, Feb. 17, $5 at the Burgdorff. Beer for purchase.

We can't think of anything better to brighten up our Monday morning than the prospect of some beer and BS Friday night at Studio B's latest Story Slam. What's a story slam?

Three literary agents will listen, chuckle, tear, or snooze — depending on delivery. And at the end of the night a winner will be announced. Bragging rights (and some door prize we rustle up) will be claimed. So dust bust that short story, tune up yer amusing anecdote, and febreeze that tall tale — an audience awaits to be regaled.  And by regaled, we mean provided folding…
