We’re back after a long Thanksgiving weekend with a story from Jenny Minniti-Shippey. Jenny shares a glimpse into life as a young writer in Galway, a fittingĀ tale for our San Diego Beer Week-themed show “Bottled Up,” recorded live at Tiger! Tiger! Tavern on 10 November 2015.

Our next live eventsā€”which are our last two shows of 2015ā€”will take place on 8 December in San Diego and 16 December in Denver. The theme will be ā€œSiblings.ā€
AND! On Thursday, 3 December, we’ll be posting our show themes for 2016. That’s right, the whole year, presented to you with a seasonal, non-existent, metaphorical bow.
