The Dingmantics Live storytelling open mic is the second Monday of every month at Branded Saloon in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. If your name is selected to perform, you'll get an 8-minute slot, plus a recording of your piece. Each show closes with a featured performance from one of New York's finest storytellers. Free admission, with ice-cold craft brews available at the bar! Also, fish tacos - so many fish tacos.

This month's theme: "Spooked"
