Summer Grand Slam and BBQ
Our Summer Grand Slam is Saturday, July 24th at 8pm with a pre-Slam BBQ, all at the Painted Bride Art Center. Our pre-Slam party kicks off the night with Sweet Lucy’s BBQ, so grab some napkins because you’ll need ‘em! While you rinse down your pulled pork sandwich with lager from Narragansett Brewery, enjoy retro-rock tunes from Brooklyn indie band Peculiar Gentlemen. This hot band will set the stage for our grand finale, featuring Philly’s finest storytellers. The Grand Slam will determine once and for all who is the Greatest Storyteller in Philadelphia! (At least until our Fall Grand Slam!) The theme is Show and Tell. Buy your tickets here.
The deets! Saturday, July 24, 8pm with a BBQ featuring Peculiar Gentlemen at 5pm. $30 for BBQ and Grand Slam ($24 for members)/ $15 for just the Grand Slam ($12 for members).
