extempo @ deMena's, 44 Main St in Montpelier VT @ 8:00pm
Now in its ninth year, extempo is Vermont's most popular live storytelling series.

Often about half of the participants are veteran storytellers, and half are newcomers trying it for the first or second time. Sign up in advance if you want to give it a try...or just come listen.
- $5 admission. Participants admitted FREE.
- Food & beverages available for purchase.
- Doors open (3rd floor) @ 7:00pm. Stories @ 8:00pm.

What do you get when you cross jazz with karaoke? Jazzyaoke: your opportunity to front a LIVE six-piece jazz band and sing the standards! Come early to submit your song requests & find a place to perch—or just be a passerby who bursts into song—but please leave your own musical instruments at home unless you are singing (it's not open jam). Always second Saturdays & fourth Fridays.
- FREE.
- BYO food & beverages.
