From The Moth in the Twin Cities Facebook page:

We are *super* excited to present our very first virtual event, aka ~~~story stream~~~.

(While this event is somewhat unofficial, know that Moth HQ is working to figure out a more sustainable format for future events.)

It'll take place on the same date as the original April StorySLAM, Wednesday the 22nd, at 7PM

~~~Other Pertinent Details~~~
THEME: EARTH
LOCATION: From the comfort of our respective homes, via Zoom
COST: $0 with a suggested donation of $5
CAPACITY: Attendance is limited to the first 100 guests at "the door" (we'll post a link here in the Facebook group at about 6:30 next Wednesday evening, approximately 30 minutes before the event starts)

~~~How it's similar to our business-as-usual:~~~
-Stories will be on a theme (EARTH)
-Stories will be no more than 5 minutes in length
-There will still be a host (the incomparable Javier Morillo-Alicea!)
-We will still collect and use [digital] story slips
-The audience will still be filled with love and support <3 (and any bad actors or Zoom bombers will be booted from the room)

~~~How it's different from our business-as-usual:~~~
-Only 7 stories as opposed to the usual 10
-Stories will be pre-recorded (more details on how to submit below)
-Stories will not be judged
-The event is donation based

~~~How to submit~~~
-Submissions will be accepted starting TODAY, 4/15 at noon until next Tuesday, 4/21 at 11:59 PM [MORE DEETS COMING AT NOON]
-Submissions are limited to one per person
-Once submissions are open, we will post the email address to send your stories here in the Facebook group
-We will pre-select 7 stories to be played during the ~~~story stream~~~
-If your story will be played, we will email you by 9AM on Wednesday, 4/22 (and you will have a guaranteed "seat" in the Zoom room)

(And to those of you who've posted stories that are "pending approval" here in the Facebook group, we see you!! We just wanted to give you the chance to share it fresh at this event if you wanted to! :)

Let us know if you have any questions!

-Kate and Alauna
