I love the lineup!

PS: As someone who writes poetry (telling a story), and comics (also telling a visual story), I consider myself a storyteller too! I can relate to so many of these writers!

Hey, Tess! I know you're a storyteller, for sure. Would you consider writing some prose and joining us to tell a memoir-based story? xo

Well, please do. Look at the calendar of themes, and choose something that makes you go squeak! And then let me know by DM. Thrilled to have you, Tess. xo

What a great lineup! I’ll try my very best to make it, maybe I can wrangle my mom into getting a ticket too. 💜

Hey Kim! I hope you can make it. We may sell out. If you become a paid subscriber, you'll have access to everything. The replays of the slam will be paywalled. There will be sample stories shared, but really the best value is an annual subscription. Will you be away? xo

I’ll be in CO…I don’t get in until late the night before so I’ll need to check in with my family before I can commit. If I miss it, I’ll certainly be around for others. Finances are tight at the moment so I’ve put a red light on all new subscriptions but when my royalties start coming in after Q1 hopefully that will all change!

I hope it does change, not for my sake, of course, but for you. You sure as hell deserve it, my dear!

Yahoo! Can hardly wait. (Although I just realized I'll be at my grandson's birthday up island that day, so it'll have to be the replay for me.) Darn! I wanted to be LIVE, especially for the first round. I'll be cheering you and all those amazing story tellers on in spirit. xo

Thanks for letting me know, Kim that you won't be there. It frees up a seat for someone else. I'm sure you'll make some of them. I'm really excited and NERVOUS! xo

Hey Char! Thanks for buying a ticket. I'll okay your reg. soon, but no worries about it. It's just a method so we can maintain a safe space. So happy you're coming! Wanna come tell a story one of these days?

Makes perfect sense to review ticket purchasers. Would be delighted to contribute to your effort to honor and raise women's stories. Looking forward to the 17th!

If you go to the Wham! Bam! site, you can look at the calendar of themes, and pick one that appeals to you. We want to encourage people to sign up as paid subscribers if they can, because then, they'll have access to everything, because the posts we create after each live show will be paywalled. When you buy a ticket you can only see the show. So if you want change it up, let me know and I'll refund the ticket price to you. And if you want to wait and see how you like it, that's fine too. The community buy-in is what we're looking for. xo

Hi Karson. I'm happy you're excited. I'm excited too. No worries about your ticket. And it's January 17, not the 11th. Wouldn't want you to miss it.
