Q: When should I arrive?
A: Story Vroom Vroom takes place on the fourth Wednesday of every month. The bier hall will open for seating at 5:00, so you can arrive early to grab a seat at a communal table or the bar. A friendly server will take care of all of your food and drink needs. We will open the sign up list for storytelling slots at 6:00, and the party will start at 7:00. We'll have a brief intermission sometime during the evening, and will wrap things up around 9:00.

Q: Is this family friendly?
A: Guests under 21 are allowed. Material will vary by story, and it is possible there will be adult themes and/or language. We won't know the content of the stories until we hear them from the stage. We'd say teens and up would most likely be fine.

Q: Why does Story Vroom Vroom have a house statistician?
A: Statistics are important. Kevin will use his wizard-like skills to run the numbers in real time, to ensure we are having the maximum amount of legal fun. Also, it forces Scott to try to pronounce "statistician" several times a night.
