Brave attendees square off in the fiercely competitive Object Slam!

Bring your quill, iPad, or other writing tool of choice, because a sixth object will be unveiled at the event — and any attendee can sign up to invent a story about it! This is the first ever Object Slam. It’s sort of like a poetry slam. But with an object.

Our writers, in consultation with the audience, will choose the best story created that night to be published on SignificantObjects.com!

To be revealed Oct. 9 -- and made Significant on the spot.

You must go! Declare your intentions this Facebook Event thingy, if you like. Or just write it down in your calendar. But don’t forget!
