Sad Mag and Rain City Chronicles are teaming up to bring you an evening of storytelling and music on Saturday, February 15th. Join us for Love Hangover, an evening that remembers everything that can go wrong in matters of the heart, at the historic Rickshaw Theatre.
Tickets will be released next week on Eventbrite (and we’ll be offering a special one-year subscription deal with purchase!), but in the meantime please get in touch if you are interested in taking the stage to tell your true tale. We’re looking for storytellers with tales about:
- Workplace romance disasters
- Bad breakups
- Long-distance relationship travails
- Being the unwilling subject (or author!) of a Missed Connection
- Disappointments after a much-anticipated first date or first make-out
- Unrequited crushes
Rain City Chronicles is an event for Vancouverites of all ages, backgrounds, professions and interests. If you have a parent, grandparent, new neighbour or old friend with a great tale, or maybe you have one yourself, send it to us!
The rules, for the Rain City Chronicles newbies:
- Stories must be true, and they must be yours. No stand-up or in-character performances, and no notes.
- Stories are seven minutes or less. We will play you off the stage like drunk Cate Blanchett at the Golden Globes if you go too long
- Stories can be intimate, revealing and cathartic, but not mean-spirited. This isn’t an event to talk about how much you hate your ex. It is an event to talk about how you got stuck in a tiny elevator with her for six hours immediately following your breakup, for example.
