Carapace Raconteurs: Guts and Glory

From the venue:

Bring a 5- to 7-minute story about the time you decided to go for the gold, do the Rocky thing, take the big, brave risk. Maybe you got mixed results – that’s OK, pure hero stories can be pretty dull. Or maybe you got exactly the prize you put yourself on the line for – hero stories can be mighty cool, too! Come prepared with your true personal story on the subject of your high-stakes, two-fisted, damn-the-torpedoes life episode.
