SUMMARY:Do Tell! (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?

SUMMARY:Do Tell! (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?

She's also our Storyteller in Residence at Capital Storytelling!                    Barb Todd  Storyteller   Barb started her American journey after relocating from Canada for a nursing job 30 years ago. Moving from Vancouver\, British Columbia to Modesto\, California was a bit of a shock to the system\, but it launched her into an incredible life journey of marriage\, children\, new cities and a career in healthcare. Barb loves making connections through storytelling. “There is nothing more magical than laughing out loud\, tearing up or getting goosebumps as someone shares their story and a deep\, human connection is made.” She took a class in 2020 and then knew she wanted to be a part of the magic created through Capital Storytelling.                    John Aubert  Storyteller   John is a Professor of Geography and Environmental Sciences at American River College. After realizing that his family and friends were finally getting tired of hearing his stories\, he was ecstatic to discover that he could tell them to strangers!  He has taken the stage at numerous Moth Story Slams and has been a featured storyteller for Capital Storytelling\, Story Collider\, RISK!\, Armchair Anonymous\, Six Feet Apart Productions\, and Artists Standing Strong Together. John was a Story Ambassador in 2022 and is now our Assistant Events Producer\, as well as a storytelling instructor and coach.  He currently hosts Capital Storytelling’s Do Tell\, a monthly open mic for true\, personal stories.                    Ximena Ospina  Director of the Immigrant Storytelling Program   Dra. Ximena Ospina is a proud immigrant\, educator\, and storyteller. She is dedicated to healing and strengthening our global community through restorative justice\, innovation\, compassion\, and collaboration—storytelling has been a grounding practice for this work. In May 2024\, she earned her Doctorate in Educational Leadership\, with her dissertation\, “The Latinx/e Student Cuentos of Rupture to Nurture: Understanding the Study Abroad Reentry Experience through Generational Dreaming\,” focusing on student cuentos [stories]. As a dynamic educational consultant\, Ximena leverages her expertise in storytelling\, coalition building\, equitable practices\, and impactful dialogues to drive transformative change. For her\, storytelling has been a path to self\, liberation\, and cultural preservation....          \n  \nFAQs \nQuestion: Where do I park?  \nAnswer: Street parking is free around the venue! You can find parking on Vaux Ave.\, Peets St.\, Renwick Ave.\, Nolan St.\, and E Mumford Ct.  There is also a parking lot in front of a small strip mall (but will be a little bit of a walk from the venue).

Check out our map below at the bottom of this FAQs section! \nQuestion: What should I wear to the event?  \nAnswer: The event is casual! You may wear whatever you feel comfortable in. Come as you are. \nQuestion: Will there be food? And are there veggie and vegan options? \nAnswer: Yes! We will provide free appetizers / hors d’oeuvres inside the event venue. We will ensure that some of the hors d’oeuvres are vegan! We have also hired three food trucks that will be behind the venue on W Mumford Ct. Two of these have vegetarian and vegan options! Hors d’oeuvres will be free with your ticket! The food trucks are for payment– but a percentage of the money will go to our fundraiser.  \nQuestion: How do I get into the event? Can I just show up and pay at the door? \nAnswer: We are encouraging our attendees to purchase a ticket before hand to help us know how many people to prepare for! That said\, yes– you can also still buy at the door with cash or credit. If you purchase a ticket before the event (highly encouraged!) then we will ask that you bring a copy of the ticket (either a hard copy OR digital copy!) so that we can check you in at the door! \n \n  \nSponsors \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			\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					\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

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?
