Next Month’s Theme:

We Didn’t Start the Fire

Tuesday, July 8, 7p Manuel’s Tavern

It’s the dog days of summer. So many metaphors get tossed around about this time of year. Frying an egg on the pavement. There’s that one nickname for Atlanta. I guess some really do like it “hot”…Anyway…

Ever stumble across, into, or over a situation not of your own making? Did you back away slowly? Or were your ensnared in the tangle forever after?

Maybe you have a story quite literally about a fire. Did you and your roommates learn how to cook the wrong way? We know there’s at least one beloved Carapace member who has a woebegone tale along these lines.

Perhaps yours is a journey more of the internal variety. You may have, say, found yourself swept away in an unexpected romance, or watching one unfold between two married (not to each other) neighbors.

You might have started a rumor that snowballed, went haywire, or what else do I have to say?

Whatever your story—blazing glory or doused dreams, just something that started small and got a little out of hand—we’ll be waiting for you in the ever-so-cool (wink, yes, we know   ) Manuel’s Tavern on Tuesday, July 8 at 7p, as we always do on the second Tuesdays of the month. Come down early to warm your belly and your heart by fellowshipping with other Carapeeps.

As a reminder, there’s never any pressure to tell a story. We adore story listeners and storytellers alike.
