The Moth is back in San Francisco and it's time for YOU to tell a story! Prepare a five-minute tale about secret stairways, handshakes, agendas, or ingredients. Paper shredders, an undisclosed crush…anything on the down low. Pranks, surprise parties, hide and seeks, your sister's diary, your neighbor's predilections, hidden stash, family dirt or the toupee that had everyone fooled. 

How it Works:
7:00, sign up to tell a story, volunteer to be on a judging team or just sit back and listen.
7:30 (SHARP), we'll pick the first name and the show will begin. Each teller will have 5 minutes to tell his or her tale. After each story, the judges confer, and give a score. The teller with the highest score becomes our StorySLAM winner. The winner will compete with the year's other winners in our next GrandSLAM Championship.

Be Forewarned:
The Moth is for TRUE STORIES. OK, there won't be a fact-checker there, and the FBI probably won't dig into your files to verify the names and dates and places, but please know, emphatically, The Moth is not for fiction stories. The tiny fictions and lies we tell ourselves ARE part of our "true stories" but that one about you, Obama, Gandhi and Einstein up in a spaceship eating brownies... not so much.

Want to go to The Moth StorySlam on March 11 at the Rickshaw Stop? We've got tickets! All you have to do to enter our contest is answer the following question:

Where was the first Moth held?

Email us your answer and full name for Will Call to giveaway@kqed.org and from all correct entries, we'll randomly select 4 winners for 1 pair of tickets each. Deadline to enter is Tuesday, March 5 at 9am.

Value of each ticket: $8. You must be a California resident and 18 years or older to participate. Employees of KQED are not eligible to enter.

BLESS ME, ULTIMA is based upon the controversial novel by Rudolfo Anaya. It is a turbulent coming of age story about Antonio Márez, a young boy growing up in New Mexico during World War II.  When a mysterious curandera, Ultima, comes to live with his family, she teaches him about the power of the spiritual world. As their relationship grows, Antonio begins to question the strict Catholic doctrine he has been taught by his parents.  Through a series of mysterious and, at times, terrifying events Antonio must grapple with questions about his own destiny, the relationship between good vs. evil and, ultimately, how to reconcile Ultima’s powers with those of the God of his church.

Throughout the 1990's as well as the 1980's, 1970's, 1960's and 1950's, there has been only one King of the Blues - Riley B. King, affectionately known as B.B. King. Since B.B. started recording in the late 1940's, he has released over 60 albums many of them considered blues classics, like 1965's definitive live blues album "Live At The Regal", and 1976's collaboration with Bobby "Blue" Bland, "Together For The First Time". Over the years, B.B. has developed one of the world's most readily identified guitar styles. He borrowed from Lonnie Johnson, Blind Lemon Jefferson, T-Bone Walker and others, integrating his precise vocal like string bends and his left hand vibrato, both of which have become indispensable components of rock guitarist's vocabulary. His economy, his every note counts phrasing, has been a model for thousands of players including Eric Clapton, George Harrison and Jeff Beck.

Want to see him play at the Fox in Oakland on February 28? We've got tickets! All you have to do to enter our contest is answer the following question:

When was BB King born?
