(in-person storytelling open-mic) DESCRIPTION:  \nCome join us at LogOff Brewing for our monthly in-person true storytelling open mic event\, Do Tell! At the event\, you’ll hear personal stories told by regular folks just like you. In fact\, we invite you and anyone else who is interested\, to put their name in our hat for a chance to tell us all a story. You can find the guidelines below. Come out to just listen or come tell a story! Food and beverages are for sell at the venue. \nSecond Tuesday of each month (check our calendar for dates!) \nLogOff Brewing\n3054 Sunrise Blvd Suite J  \nRancho Cordova\, CA 95742 \n  \nGuidelines for Your “Do Tell” Open Mic Story \n\n\n\nTell us a TRUE story about something you did or experienced:  Fiction is wonderful\, but we want to hear about events from your life and things that you have personally experienced! Lectures\, rants\, listicles\, guided meditations\, singalongs\, sermons\, and elevator pitches ALL have their place\, but this isn’t it.\nTry to keep it under 8 minutes:  We’ll give you a gentle one minute warning at 7 minutes; please wrap it up by 8 min so that there’s time for everyone else’s stories.\nLeave your notes and phones behind:  We find that the best personal stories are often those that are told without notes. So please don’t read your story to us – just tell it to us! (And we won’t judge you if you mix up the timeline or forget a part!)\nBe respectful:  We want everyone to feel welcome and respected\, so please do not use stereotypes\, slurs\, racial epithets\, or derogatory language about any group.  Also\, please do not use accents and dialects from cultures that are not your own.  If you are unsure about something in your story\, ask the host.\nAim for an R rating (or less):  We know y’all have some crazy stories (and we wanna hear ‘em)\, but let’s try to keep them R-rated or under.  And please read the room; if there are kids present consider giving a content warning to parents.  Sometimes opting for euphemisms instead of coarse language will do the trick…  And finally\, please give a content warning before your story if you think it could cause anyone fear or anxiety. \n\n\n\nTo put your name in the hat\, show up a little early and find the host! The host will then draw names from the hat and those people will be invited on stage to share their 8-mins-or-less story with the crowd! \nStill have questions? Email John Aubert at johnaubert@capitalstorytelling.com! \nATTENTION: For September 2026\, Do Tell will depart from its regular monthly format (see below) to celebrate National 988 Day in recognition of the National 988 Suicide and Crisis Hotline. In addition to a few open mic slots\, there will be several featured storytellers on the theme of navigating mental health challenges (their own and/or those of family and friends). And of course we welcome empathetic listeners into our audience as well!!! \nThose considering dropping their name in the hat for an open mic slot should prepare a story on the theme described above. For the September 2026 show only\, open mic hopefuls MUST register their interest at least 24 hours in advance by texting the host John Aubert at 530-400-3112. Additional guidelines will be provided at that time. \nMost other details of this event remain the same as our regular monthly open mic; those new to Do Tell should see the following URL for additional guidelines: https://capitalstorytelling.com/do-tell-in-person-storytelling-open-mic/  \nWellSpace Health is proud to join Capital Storytelling for Do Tell! on Sept. 8 in recognition of 988 Day. As the regional operator of 988 Sacramento\, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline\, WellSpace Health is committed to making conversations about mental health more open\, accessible and connected to the support available in our community. 988 Sacramento provides free\, confidential support 24/7 through call\, text and chat for people experiencing emotional distress\, mental health challenges or a crisis\, connecting them with trained crisis counselors and local resources. Between open mic stories\, WellSpace Health staff will share mental health and crisis support facts and information\, with a resource table available for attendees to learn more\, pick up resources and ask questions.

This event is hosted in partnership with the Undocumented Student Resource Center (formerly called the Dreamer Resource Center) of Sacramento State. It is funded by a grant from the California Arts Council. \nThis year we are hosting the event both in-person and online.

You’ll be directed to our Eventbrite page where you should click “Get Tickets” and then you can choose whether you’d like to order “in-person” or “virtual” tickets. \nFor security purposes\, we are sharing the location information and our virtual link with only our ticket holders. Once you get your tickets\, you will receive information a few days before the event about the auditorium location and/or a link to join us virtually! If you have questions\, email us at info@capitalstorytelling.com.  Join us in solidarity to witness and uplift our immigrant community’s stories. \n  \n**You must order tickets beforehand. Tickets can be obtained at our Eventbrite site (button below). Tickets are donation-based but if you cannot donate\, please get a register to attend for free! We want you in the room with us. \nFor those who are able to donate for their tickets\, donations will go towards our immigrant storytelling program as well as the Undocumented Student Resource Center. Your donation allows us to continue offering free storytelling programing to first and second generation immigrants in our city and to host our annual event. This program and event is lifechanging for many people. Donations that go to the Undocumented Student Resource Center will support students at Sacramento State whose families may be mixed status\, undocumented\, and immigrant.  \n  \n  \n  \nGET TICKETS \n  \n  \nDate: October 27th\nTime: 6:00 – 8:00 PM PT\nLocation:  University Union Building on the campus of Sacramento State AND VIRTUAL.

This year for security reasons we are requiring all guests to order their ticket before the event (both in-person and virtual attendees). The event is donation based (so if you are unable to pay\, you can still get tickets for free!) but you should go to our Eventbrite page (by clicking on the button above) to get a ticket. \nHow do I attend virtually? If you’d like to attend virtually\, click the button above to go to our Eventbrite page. You can then click “Get Tickets” and then you will have the option to order virtual tickets. You will then receive an email with the link to get into our virtually streamed Zoom event to watch the event online. \nI want to attend in person. Can I just show up on the night of the event? The short answer is “not really.” We will be sending the exact auditorium location only to those who are ticket holders (so you’ll need to order a free ticket before hand and enter your email address so that we can send you an email to tell you know where to go for the event!). If you show up to the University Union on the night of the event you will likely see where the event is (we’ll have sign up to direct you)\, BUT if you do not have a ticket\, we will still ask that you go to our Eventbrite page and get a ticket before you enter the auditorium. We are doing this so that we can maintain security of the event given the current political climate. We recommend getting that ticket before you arrive so that you can enter the auditorium easily and quickly and also so that you can be sure that we have a seat for you!  We have limited space in the auditorium (350 seats). \nWhere is the event located? The event will be in one of the auditoriums inside of the the University Union on the campus of Sac State (Sacramento State University is located at 6000 J Street\, Sacramento CA). We will share details about the exact room a few days prior to the event with those who have ordered a ticket for the in-person event. To see where the University Union is\, you can check out the campus map below! The University Union is highlighted in yellow on the map. You can also put “University Union” into your phone’s GPS application and your phone should also direct you to the building! \nWhere do I park? There is a parking structure right next to the University Union (see map for purple highlighted parking structures). We suggest that you park in Parking Structure 2. You will need to pay for parking. You can do that by paying at one of the kiosks in the parking structure OR by using the QR code on the campus map to pay by phone. If you are using the QR code and your smart phone to pay\, use the parking code 5115. (You will be prompted for this code when paying with your phone.) \n  \n\nTo enlarge the map\, double click on it. You can also find an interactive campus map here. On the interactive map you can type in the name of the building to find it and navigate.\n  \nThank you to our partners and our sponsors for this event. \n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nShare this:\n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook URL:https://capitalstorytelling.com/event/immigrant-stories-2026/ LOCATION:Sacramento State University\, 6000 J St\, Sacramento\, CA\, 95819\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://capitalstorytelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/ImmigrantStories_2026Banner_Small_FBFit.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20261101T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20261101T113000 DTSTAMP:20260820T200726Z CREATED:20260820T200211Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260820T200726Z UID:27299-1793525400-1793532600@capitalstorytelling.com SUMMARY:Oral Storytelling 101 Class (VIRTUAL) Fall 2026 DESCRIPTION:This 4-week virtual class trains you to tell real-life stories orally.

In fact\, we invite you and anyone else who is interested\, to put their name in our hat for a chance to tell us all a story. You can find the guidelines below. Come out to just listen or come tell a story! Food and beverages are for sell at the venue. \nSecond Tuesday of each month (check our calendar for dates!) \nLogOff Brewing\n3054 Sunrise Blvd Suite J  \nRancho Cordova\, CA 95742 \n  \nGuidelines for Your “Do Tell” Open Mic Story \n\n\n\nTell us a TRUE story about something you did or experienced:  Fiction is wonderful\, but we want to hear about events from your life and things that you have personally experienced! Lectures\, rants\, listicles\, guided meditations\, singalongs\, sermons\, and elevator pitches ALL have their place\, but this isn’t it.\nTry to keep it under 8 minutes:  We’ll give you a gentle one minute warning at 7 minutes; please wrap it up by 8 min so that there’s time for everyone else’s stories.\nLeave your notes and phones behind:  We find that the best personal stories are often those that are told without notes. So please don’t read your story to us – just tell it to us! (And we won’t judge you if you mix up the timeline or forget a part!)\nBe respectful:  We want everyone to feel welcome and respected\, so please do not use stereotypes\, slurs\, racial epithets\, or derogatory language about any group.  Also\, please do not use accents and dialects from cultures that are not your own.  If you are unsure about something in your story\, ask the host.\nAim for an R rating (or less):  We know y’all have some crazy stories (and we wanna hear ‘em)\, but let’s try to keep them R-rated or under.  And please read the room; if there are kids present consider giving a content warning to parents.  Sometimes opting for euphemisms instead of coarse language will do the trick…  And finally\, please give a content warning before your story if you think it could cause anyone fear or anxiety. \n\n\n\nTo put your name in the hat\, show up a little early and find the host! The host will then draw names from the hat and those people will be invited on stage to share their 8-mins-or-less story with the crowd! \nStill have questions? Email John Aubert at johnaubert@capitalstorytelling.com! \nATTENTION: For September 2026\, Do Tell will depart from its regular monthly format (see below) to celebrate National 988 Day in recognition of the National 988 Suicide and Crisis Hotline. In addition to a few open mic slots\, there will be several featured storytellers on the theme of navigating mental health challenges (their own and/or those of family and friends). And of course we welcome empathetic listeners into our audience as well!!! \nThose considering dropping their name in the hat for an open mic slot should prepare a story on the theme described above. For the September 2026 show only\, open mic hopefuls MUST register their interest at least 24 hours in advance by texting the host John Aubert at 530-400-3112. Additional guidelines will be provided at that time. \nMost other details of this event remain the same as our regular monthly open mic; those new to Do Tell should see the following URL for additional guidelines: https://capitalstorytelling.com/do-tell-in-person-storytelling-open-mic/  \nWellSpace Health is proud to join Capital Storytelling for Do Tell! on Sept. 8 in recognition of 988 Day.

(in-person storytelling open-mic) DESCRIPTION:  \nCome join us at LogOff Brewing for our monthly in-person true storytelling open mic event\, Do Tell! At the event\, you’ll hear personal stories told by regular folks just like you. In fact\, we invite you and anyone else who is interested\, to put their name in our hat for a chance to tell us all a story. You can find the guidelines below. Come out to just listen or come tell a story! Food and beverages are for sell at the venue. \nSecond Tuesday of each month (check our calendar for dates!) \nLogOff Brewing\n3054 Sunrise Blvd Suite J  \nRancho Cordova\, CA 95742 \n  \nGuidelines for Your “Do Tell” Open Mic Story \n\n\n\nTell us a TRUE story about something you did or experienced:  Fiction is wonderful\, but we want to hear about events from your life and things that you have personally experienced! Lectures\, rants\, listicles\, guided meditations\, singalongs\, sermons\, and elevator pitches ALL have their place\, but this isn’t it.\nTry to keep it under 8 minutes:  We’ll give you a gentle one minute warning at 7 minutes; please wrap it up by 8 min so that there’s time for everyone else’s stories.\nLeave your notes and phones behind:  We find that the best personal stories are often those that are told without notes. So please don’t read your story to us – just tell it to us! (And we won’t judge you if you mix up the timeline or forget a part!)\nBe respectful:  We want everyone to feel welcome and respected\, so please do not use stereotypes\, slurs\, racial epithets\, or derogatory language about any group.  Also\, please do not use accents and dialects from cultures that are not your own.  If you are unsure about something in your story\, ask the host.\nAim for an R rating (or less):  We know y’all have some crazy stories (and we wanna hear ‘em)\, but let’s try to keep them R-rated or under.  And please read the room; if there are kids present consider giving a content warning to parents.  Sometimes opting for euphemisms instead of coarse language will do the trick…  And finally\, please give a content warning before your story if you think it could cause anyone fear or anxiety. \n\n\n\nTo put your name in the hat\, show up a little early and find the host! The host will then draw names from the hat and those people will be invited on stage to share their 8-mins-or-less story with the crowd! \nStill have questions? Email John Aubert at johnaubert@capitalstorytelling.com! \nATTENTION: For September 2026\, Do Tell will depart from its regular monthly format (see below) to celebrate National 988 Day in recognition of the National 988 Suicide and Crisis Hotline. In addition to a few open mic slots\, there will be several featured storytellers on the theme of navigating mental health challenges (their own and/or those of family and friends). And of course we welcome empathetic listeners into our audience as well!!! \nThose considering dropping their name in the hat for an open mic slot should prepare a story on the theme described above. For the September 2026 show only\, open mic hopefuls MUST register their interest at least 24 hours in advance by texting the host John Aubert at 530-400-3112. Additional guidelines will be provided at that time. \nMost other details of this event remain the same as our regular monthly open mic; those new to Do Tell should see the following URL for additional guidelines: https://capitalstorytelling.com/do-tell-in-person-storytelling-open-mic/  \nWellSpace Health is proud to join Capital Storytelling for Do Tell! on Sept. 8 in recognition of 988 Day.

In addition to a few open mic slots\, there will be several featured storytellers on the theme of navigating mental health challenges (their own and/or those of family and friends). And of course we welcome empathetic listeners into our audience as well!!! \nThose considering dropping their name in the hat for an open mic slot should prepare a story on the theme described above. For the September 2026 show only\, open mic hopefuls MUST register their interest at least 24 hours in advance by texting the host John Aubert at 530-400-3112. Additional guidelines will be provided at that time. \nMost other details of this event remain the same as our regular monthly open mic; those new to Do Tell should see the following URL for additional guidelines: https://capitalstorytelling.com/do-tell-in-person-storytelling-open-mic/  \nWellSpace Health is proud to join Capital Storytelling for Do Tell! on Sept. 8 in recognition of 988 Day.
