Spooky Story Slam October 26 (WU-189)

Has anything remarkably mysterious or spooky ever happened to you? Don’t miss this chance to tell your story– or to listen to other’s stories — at the upcoming Story Slam on Bainbridge Island.

In this podcast, Wendy Wallace, creator and organizer of Field’s End Story Slam, visits our studio to talk with BCB host Jennifer Waldron about this truly phantasmagoric event.

For this round of the popular Story Slam gathering (and we do mean popular: get there REALLY early to be sure of a seat!) Bainbridge Islanders will be sharing stories around the theme “Mysterious and Spooky”. Each storyteller has 5 minutes; a panel of volunteer judges chosen from the audience will then determine the winners.

The excitement happens Monday, October 26th, 7pm at the Treehouse Cafe in Lynwood Center. Reservations are not needed but there is a $7 donation to benefit Field’s End programs for youth.

Please note: Attendees must be over 21, as Story Slam takes place in the bar.

Land Acknowledgment

“Every part of this soil is sacred in the estimation of my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove, has been hallowed by some sad or happy event in days long vanished.” – Chief Seattle 1854

We would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is within the ancestral territory of the suq̀ʷabš “People of Clear Salt Water” (Suquamish People). Expert fisherman, canoe builders and basket weavers, the suq̀ʷabš live in harmony with the lands and waterways along Washington’s Central Salish Sea as they have for thousands of years. Here, the suq̀ʷabš live and protect the land and waters of their ancestors.
