True Life Stories

True Life Stories is a Moth-inspired storytelling event for people who have stories to tell and other people who want to listen to them. Guests are invited to throw their name in the hat for the chance to tell a 5-minute story on the theme of “TIE.”

Do you have a story about:

  • Being tied down?

  • Being tied up?

  • Tie dye?

  • Tying the knot?

  • Untying your shoes?

  • Being fit to be tied?

  • The ties that bind?

  • The perfect Windsor knot?

  • Railroad ties?

All we ask is your attention, your enthusiastic support for our storytellers, and your support of the bar (alcohol, soda, juice, water.)

Storytelling Code: R-E-S-P-E-C-T. (Aretha gets it.) Please practice civility and respect. Don’t include racism, homophobia, misogyny, or any form of hate speech. Please tell true stories from your own experiences (no proselytizing or standup please) and don’t appropriate other people’s experiences, stories, or cultures.
