A highly-produced multimedia reading series, The VAMP Storytelling Showcase presents an evening of several writers performing works with audio and visual accompaniment revolving around a changing theme. February’s VAMP Storytelling showcase is a romp of stories about what happens in bed, the place we commit haunting sexual acts, indulge our untreated depression in marathon bouts of sleep, drive our otherwise sane partners to homicidal rage with our sleep apnea; literally anything is possible in bed! Put a towel down and get ready to tell the kids the sounds they heard were just you eating mac n’ cheese! Date | Friday, February 24 at 8 p.m. Location | Whistle Stop Bar For more information, please visit sosayweallonline.com/vamp or call the venue at (619) 284-6784.

Join us as we watch and sing along to the latest Disney musical, enjoy some movie snacks, and compete in trivia to see who is the biggest Disney fan out there! About "Encanto": Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Encanto” tells the tale of an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia, in a magical house, in a vibrant town, in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift from super strength to the power to heal—every child except one, Mirabel.
