What’s your favorite travel story?
To celebrate summer, the June Delco Story Slam is themed “On The Road!”
Courageous people will take the stage and tell their five-minute true story in front of a live audience. No notes. No props. No music. Just you and a mic. The winner of each month’s Story Slam is also invited to return for the Grand Slam in November, where the winners will go head-to-head for the title of Best Storyteller of Delco!
Not sure you have a story? Simply hang out and listen to others’ tales. Either way, the Delco Story Slam is a unique event to enjoy with friends on a summer night. The storytelling event will take place at Burlap and Bean on Wednesday, June 26. You can order tickets here.
The theme “On The Road” means travel stories. Here’s some inspiration from the Delco Story Slam website:
We’re looking for stories of travel, both here in the good old USA and abroad. Nearly every family has packed up their station wagon or minivan and trekked cross country or perhaps to Disney World. Think National Lampoon’s Vacation or Little Miss Sunshine. Cooped up in a car with family or friends, you learn a lot on these journeys – both about the people you are with and yourself. Remember the time your brother got sick in the back seat? Perhaps you had a memorable visit to the Grand Canyon or the majestic Old Glory. Remember the time you thumbed it through Europe? Maybe you and those college roommates traveled down I-95 for Spring Break. Plan your road trip now!
Burlap and Bean has great coffee and food, and they are also a BYOB. Once again, the Story Slam is scheduled for Wednesday, June 26th and tickets can be ordered here.

You may be asking, what are these stories like?
Here’s the winning story told by Darnell Brown at the May Delco Story Slam. Darnell wasn’t planning on taking the stage, but at intermission he had a change of heart, and ended up winning. The theme of the May story slam was Good Vibrations.
