This Tuesday the 10th January in Exchange Dublin:

“Lord, it’s a miracle! Man up and vanished like a fart in the wind!”
~ Warden Samuel Norton, The Shawshank Redemption

Because it’s time for us to escape the corrupt prison of 2011 for the corrupt paradise of southern Mexico. I mean 2012.

Milk and Cookie Stories is for anyone who has a story to tell, or wants to hear a tale told well, in a relaxed, friendly environment – a place with tea, cushions, cookies and friends. Our event is free, everyone is welcome and we welcome stories of all kinds.

This month we’re looking for stories about Great Escapes. Whether you escaped a POW camp in Lower Silesia during “The Emergency” or you managed to outrun a particularly spry pitbull over the Christmas break, we want to hear your thrilling tale of flight. As always, our theme is more of a guideline than a rule, so even if your story doesn’t involve you, a rock hammer and twenty years of tunnelling – we want to hear it.

As always, we’ll be having our awesome Bake-Off where we’ll be taking your finest treats and having them battle for king of the cookie so bring your champion confection! The winner will receive a lovely prize as well as a round of applause from our eternally comely audience.

So grab your grapnel and distract your guards, and tunnel your way to Temple Bar for this month’s electrifying epics of Escape…

“Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.”

And of course, Milk and Cookies <3s you!
