Stories, sake and sashimi at Tokio this Saturday

Local artist/performer Beth Beverly is heading up a new story first-person storytelling series with a kanpai twist. Every other Saturday, she hosts A Story for your Supper at Tokio Sushi Bar (124 Lombard St.) off Headhouse Square. It works like this: Show up in the area of 7 to 7:30 Saturday night and grab a seat. Once the crowd's up to snuff, Beverly will introduce a featured storyteller for the evening, who'll weave a tale based around a specific theme. (The last installment, on June 11, featured stories about pets; this Saturday's theme will be "Close Encounters of the Third Kind.") Once he or she finishes speaking (think short, 2-5 minutes), members of the audience are welcome to hop up and spit a little game of their own. It's worth your while, too: "If your story is agreed by everyone else to be the best story of the night, your dinner is free," says Beverly. "And you get a free shot of sake just for telling a story." We should mention that admission is free, too. Get those Fire in the Sky abduction tales ready.
