The Moth StorySLAM is an open-mic storytelling competition in which anyone can share a true, personal, 5-minute story on the night's theme. Sign up for a chance to tell a story or sit back and enjoy the show! Tonight’s theme is…

DENIAL: Prepare a five-minute story about willful ignorance. Tales of white lies, skimming the truth, or finally getting the courage to approach that person and getting a flat out "no." From the first stage of grief to putting up your blinders. Delusions and revisionist history too.

Come and share a poem, story, joke, or song! Or just come and listen. The Timid Poet Open Mic night is the third Saturday of every month at 2208 Winchell Avenue in Kalamazoo, Michigan 49008. Whether you’ve just written your first poem or you’re a seasoned pro, this is a great space to share your creativity. Everyone is welcome! Our next Open Mic is Saturday, November 16, 2019. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with readings beginning at 7 p.m. You may bring your books of creative writing to sell. Facilities and snacks are provided by the Phoenix Community Church. You can also keep informed by following the Timid Poet Underground blog or Facebook page at https://timidpoetunderground.blogspot.com or https://facebook.com/timidpoetunderground

CHILDISH: Prepare a five-minute story about feeling young. Ditching second period or calling out “sick” from work. Middle school crushes or puppy love that had you feeling 16 again. Chasing ice cream trucks, building pillow forts, and losing stuffed animals. Whether it's temper tantrums, tattle tales, or tumultuous inner-toddlers...it's time to grow up. Tag! (no take backs times infinity)

LIES: Prepare a five-minute story about bending the truth. From little white lies to epic cover-ups. Tell us about the fibs you told, believed, or exposed. Playing fast and loose with the truth, being duped, or getting caught red-handed. Beefing up your resume or flashing your fake ID. Pinocchio, Madoff, Catfish… and maybe you? Cross your heart and hope to lie.

UNDERDOG: Prepare a five-minute story about the slingshot that took down Goliath. Dark horses, Cinderella stories, or miracles on the ice. Tales of when the odds were stacked, the system was rigged, and the little guy came out on top. Or, perhaps you were the top dog and found yourself eating humble pie. The scrappy team that took home the championship ring, rising up against the powers that be, and the little engine that could. Go get 'em!

Get ready to dive into the golden age of automotive design with guest speaker Todd Carlson, one of the world’s leading collectors and historians of early automobile emblems.

From the early 1900s to the 1930s, radiator emblems weren’t just logos—they were miniature works of art that captured the spirit of innovation and identity for every make and model.

Join us for this visually rich, story-filled presentation that explores how these emblems were made, what they meant, and why they still matter today.

Whether you're a car enthusiast, history lover, or just curious—this is one event you won't want to miss.
