Carapace for June: One Battle After Another 💥
Tuesday, June 9, 7p, Manuel's Tavern

These days, it feels like everywhere you turn—social media, Atlanta traffic, the group chat—everyone seems to be spoiling for a fight. Tell us about a time you couldn’t catch a break. Did it feel like you were just running up that hill? Perhaps a family member, neighbor, or work colleague got under your skin or got your goat time and time again.

Maybe your conflicts tend to be of a much more internal variety. Anyone who’s ever (tried to) quit smoking knows about that. Did you go to the mat with a vice, with a mysterious illness, or with your belief in what is right and what is wrong?

Whatever your contentious story, we’ll be waiting and full of equanimity, as we always are on the second Tuesdays of the month, at Manuel’s Tavern. While the show begins at 7p, we encourage folx to get there early to get their orders in with the finest wait staff in town.

As a reminder, we welcome story listeners and storytellers alike—just as long as you’re a connoisseur of stories (and of Manuel’s food).

Notes for a peaceful, easy story experience…
*no notes
*no political rants
*no stand-up comedy
*no hate speech
This is OG storytelling, like our ancestors used to do around the fire.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:
We always need volunteers to make our events run like clockwork. Roles include:
*greet people at the door & encourage sign-ups
*keep up the tradition with timing stories
*be our personal paparazzi! (take photos)
Please write back to us if you’d like to volunteer!

Prompt coming soon.

We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to Carapace donors through our Buy Me a Coffee page, Carapace now has a real, grown-up URL: CarapaceATL.com.

We used to have a generic URL with a long string of extra characters. We're also paying for some better services and, due to crossing over a threshold in our list number, we had to start paying for our list.

All that to say, please bookmark this new URL in your browser!

And thanks again to those of you who have been able to kick us some extra coins! More importantly, thanks to all of you for sitting with open hearts in the witnessing and sharing of our true, authentic stories for all these years.
