Some of the stories you will hear at our BigMouthOff include:

One storyteller moved out of a relationship and into her car.  In his freshman year of college, this storyteller learned just how close "home" was. In another story, it took two years for them to sort out the differences, but then one storyteller was with her partner were together almost thirty years. She always boasted that she had her clothes off less than five minutes after they met, and that part is true.

One storyteller as a teenage boy forged his mother’s signature and his assistant principal father gave him a more-than-he-bargained-for verbal tirade. Another storyteller "thought" he was eating beef for the first time in his life until he had a conversation with his mother through a low bandwidth video chat.

Have you ever given a friend a non-material gift? This storyteller has, by giving his friend ethymology, a button, and an accompanying story about a sacred dance. Home alone, a girlfriend makes emergency call to her boyfriend, and teenage storyteller swings into action. In this story, a long ride on a new, giant unicycle sounds like a great idea. What could possibly go wrong?


Snap! Have you ever lost your mind and found it again in the least likely of places? In this story, you'll find out. Another storyteller realizes she can't take a vacation from somethings, parenting and teaching about how love can put you in compromising positions. When this storyteller was five, his great-grandfather told him he got a horse that he was raising in the basement.






Even more stories will be told at the BigMouthOff. We hope to see you all there.
