September’s Story Theme: Guilty Pleasures

We all have them—the songs we know every word to but would never admit, the comfort food we crave after a long day, the guilty binge-watch, the collection we’ve quietly amassed, or the quirky hobby that brings us more joy than we’d like to confess.

But guilty pleasures aren’t always lighthearted. Sometimes they’re the traditions we refuse to let go of, the childhood memories we revisit, the small rituals that keep us grounded, or the passions we’ve hidden because they didn’t fit someone else’s expectations.

This month, we’re celebrating the things we secretly (or proudly) love. Whether your story is hilarious, nostalgic, heartfelt, or unexpectedly profound, we invite you to share the guilty pleasure that has shaped your life, made you laugh, comforted you when you needed it most, or simply reminded you that joy doesn’t always need an explanation.

After all, every guilty pleasure has a story—and we can’t wait to hear yours.

Want to Tell Your Story?

Our open mics are simple: sign up when you grab your ticket or find us night of and we’ll put your name in the bag. Whether it’s planned or spontaneous, your voice is welcome here. Writers, poets, songwriters, and storytellers of every kind are invited to step up to the mic. Fiction, nonfiction, poetry, tall tales, truth-telling, and everything in between—if you’ve got something to share, we’d love to hear it.
