Smalltown Society continues our Writing Jam series, a free two-hour creative gathering for writers, poets, and anyone who’s ever felt the pull to put words on a page.

Hosted by author and story doula Amy Henderson of Writing One True Thing 
the evening offers a welcoming space to follow your creative impulse, write in short bursts, and (for those who wish) share your words — not to impress, but to be real. 

Whether you’re an experienced writer or just beginning to explore your voice, the Writing Jam invites you to take creative risks, reconnect with your truth, and rediscover why your words still matter. 

RSVP on Eventbrite (Smalltown Society’s Writing Jam) Starts at 7:30 PM. Everyone’s welcome.

IDEAS LAB — AUGUST 26

What happens when we make space to dream out loud together?

Ideas LAB is a gathering for conversation, curiosity, big questions, unfinished thoughts, and the ideas shaping how we see our communities and the world around us.

No experts required.
No need to have it figured out.
Just bring your questions, your perspective, and yourself.

Wednesday, August 26
7:30 PM

Come think with us.

IDEAS NEED COMMUNITY.

SMALLTOWN LAB // AUGUST 5!!

Get ready for one of our most energetic nights of the summer as Day Labor takes over the LAB stage!

Hailing from Pittsburg, California, Day Labor is a 9-piece punk/ska powerhouse blending infectious horn lines, driving rhythms, and high-energy performances. Drawing inspiration from punk and ska while weaving in Latin, Afro-Cuban, jazz, and metal influences, they’ve created a sound that’s impossible to stand still to.

Over the years they’ve shared stages with legendary acts including The Offspring, The Interrupters, The Skatalites, Mustard Plug, Kill Lincoln, The Toasters, HR (Bad Brains), and many more. From 924 Gilman and Cornerstone to DNA Lounge and The Uptown, Day Labor has earned a reputation for bringing an unforgettable live show wherever they go.

If you’ve never experienced a nine-piece ska band in an intimate room… this is your chance. Think Tiny Desk of the East Bay.

And as always, the night doesn’t end after the headliner.

The second half of LAB becomes our Open Mic & Works-in-Progress Showcase, where musicians, poets, writers, comedians, and artists from across the community share what they’re creating right now. Whether it’s a polished performance or something still taking shape, LAB is a place to experiment, encourage one another, and celebrate the creative process.

Hosted by Paul Keim and Michael K-E , everyone is welcome to perform, or simply come listen and support local artists.
