SUMMARY:<Big>OAKLAND - Busting out Storytelling </big>
DESCRIPTION:Every month - a new theme - new storytellers.... TOPIC: Family 
 and Fruitcakes Stories where you pick out the nut(s). The gummified tradit
 ional treat with mystery ingredients and no expiration date is a sweet met
 aphor for this time of year. You can choose lots of things in life - but y
 ou can’t pick which inappropriate outfit your niece will wear. She is fami
 ly & you love her. It’s the holidays\, it’s required. Hallmark Cards pushe
 s these Special Family Holiday Moments - and that’s why all their mall sto
 res are closing. We want to buy the real\, the funny\, the cards w/ bad gr
 aphics. And those are the kind of true stories you'll hear at BustingOut -
  the uncle who can burp the alphabet\, the aunt who hits the hard cider ha
 rd then drops f-bombs\, the sugar-fueled kids who have watched too much HB
 O AfterHours. Storytellers are lining up and we'll make room for your 3min
  story . .    Tickets $20 at door\, but this will sell out in advance: Adv
 ance tickets at Eventbrite (2 for $20)

SUMMARY:MENLO PARK - Dovie Thomason
DESCRIPTION:On tour from Pennsylvania\, respected storyteller Dovie Thomaso
 n performs her original 90-minute story\, 'The Spirit Survives: The Boardi
 ng School Experience Then and Now.' Intended for listeners from age 12 to 
 adult\, 'The Spirit Survives' explores a tragic chapter in our nation’s hi
 story. For decades\, the First Nations of North America suffered the loss 
 of their children to government boarding schools\, where they were forcibl
 y “re-educated” to assimilation and “civilization”\, at the cost of cultur
 e and identity.   Thomason introduces her listeners to the Carlisle Indian
  School in Pennsylvania and its profound and broad-reaching impact on Indi
 an and non-Indian people since its inception in 1879 and far beyond its cl
 osing in 1918.  She shades this history with personal memoir\, biography o
 f indigenous activists and culture keepers of the 19th and 20th centuries 
 and the impact of the boarding schools on Indian people today. Her story e
 xplores the inner resources that enabled the spirit and identity of Native
  peoples to survive and raises provocative questions for all contemporary 
 Americans:  Why does this matter to Americans in the 21st century? Can we 
 learn from this? What must be done that we can move on?  With honor\, comp
 assion and imagination\, Thomason helps her audience become “comfortable w
 ith discomfort\,” in a journey of respect and reconciliation. This free ev
 ent is funded by the Friends of the Menlo Park Library.

SUMMARY:OAKLAND (virtual) - Story Slam Oakland
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning storytellers tell true\, personal stories on the 
 theme: 'Screwed.' Open-mic stories after.  Screwed means different of thin
 gs to different people: Stories about sex\, or - messing up\, getting in t
 rouble\, failing\, futility\, injustice\, fixation\, hardware\; and once a
 gain\, sex. Stories about the opposite of screwed — sticking it to the man
 . Getting one over on somebody. Shenanigans of all kinds.   We'll recreate
  the camaraderie and community of a live show. It will be live only within
  the Zoom meeting. It won't be streamed or broadcast anywhere else\, just 
 like a live show. Want a chance to tell your own 5-minute story? In the op
 en-mic portion\, we'll hear randomly-selected storytellers from the audien
 ce. If you have an idea for a story for 'Screwed\,' practice telling your 
 story while looking into your computer or smartphone camera\, and you're g
 ood to go! Rules: Open-mic stories must be true\, about you\, and 5-minute
 s or less. All storytellers must be fully clothed. Yes\, we really need to
  say this. No shirt\, no pants\, no story. No reading allowed. No rants\, 
 essays or comedy sets. If your story takes longer than 6 minutes\, you may
  get muted. The hosts reserve the right to remove any participant who is d
 isrespectful to others. Details of the Zoom call when you register via Eve

SUMMARY:REBOOT PRESENTS COVID STORIES via SAC Zoom Link
DESCRIPTION:The Reboot Presents COVID Stories • The Please Scream Inside Yo
 ur Heart Edition is not about the virus but about us\, how we adapt\, surv
 ive and discover slivers of good blossoming in the pandemic's long shadow.
  The diverse storyteller line-up--from California to Chicago\, Philly\, DC
 \, Maine\, and Virginia--gives voice to how the pandemic has changed us\, 
 what we've lost and gained\, how we cope\, laugh\, love\, and find pearls 
 amidst the ruins. These unique stories reflect the hardship\, irony\, and 
 insight discovered through quarantine\, parenting\, longing for touch\, li
 ving masked\, being essential and more.    Curator and host Rocky Ross and
  co-host Khader Abdi are two creatives (storytellers\, improvisors\, stand
 -up comedian) who met in an online improv jam at the start of the pandemic
 . Their unlikely pairing (east coast/west coast\, black/white\, male/femal
 e\, muslim/humanist\, young/old) would never have happened were it not for
  COVID and embodies just one of the story gems featured in The Reboot Pres
 ents COVID Stories • The Please Scream Inside Your Heart Edition. This the
 me comes from a viral video in Japan that catapulted the phrase into the m
 otto for 2020\, capturing our deeply felt need to live life out loud\, eve
 n as COVID demands restraint (attached flyers provide background).    The 
 Reboot Presents COVID Stories will be streamed FREE\, accessible to all on
  YouTube Live. To join us\, just click this link and you'll be in your fro
