Storytelling Amateur Hour at Book + Bottle, August 19

About this event

**Please [RSVP here](https://events.humanitix.com/storytelling-amateur-hour-in-collaboration-with-purpose-driven-professionals-bsks9vs5).** "**Are you ready to leave perfection at the door and tell your story? Join Book + Bottle for a Storytelling Amateur Hour in collaboration with Purpose-Driven Professionals!** This event is free and open to the public! You might have been to the shop for one of our poetry open mics before, but this is a little different. We want to create a space where people can show up as they are and tell their stories in a low-pressure environment. Amateur Hour is an open mic-style event where your words don't have to be polished, perfected, or rehearsed. Poetry and short stories are welcome. Or you can read a favorite children's story or a short story by a favorite author. This is an opportunity to practice public speaking in a safe space. Readers will have 5 minutes at the mic. The sign-up sheet will go live at 6pm and people will start telling their stories promptly at 6:30pm. Spots are limited for reading and spectators are welcome!" **Again, please [RSVP here](https://events.humanitix.com/storytelling-amateur-hour-in-collaboration-with-purpose-driven-professionals-bsks9vs5)!** That's the original event listing, I'm just adding this here to make sure you all see it. :)
