Trampoline is presented by WSKG and hosted by the Mighty Mickie Quinn on the FIRST THURSDAY of EVERY MONTH at Binghamton's ATOMIC TOM's.
Show up. Sign up. Tell a 5-minute personal story, without notes, inspired by this month's theme, “TRUCK STOPS & OTHER ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS,” and be judged by your peers on content and presentation.
And, of course, there will be ducks from our proud sponsors at Cat's Pajamas in the DeWitt Mall Ithaca.
THIS EVENT WILL (hopefully) BE RECORDED
If the technology planets align, we will be recording this event, which will be edited and eventually broadcast through WSKG Public Media. Storytellers will give consent to allow their stories to be recorded and used.
Whether you decide to participate in the storytelling, serve as a judge, or sit back and enjoy listening to the stories with a thoughtful beverage, we look forward to having you there.

Final Rehearsal Log: Blend, Break, and Beat
Blend
The last rehearsal is usually the one where we stop dissecting the songs and just lock in. A lot of laughs and excitement filled the room as we ran the set. It’s ready, and all that’s left is the anticipation for Saturday.
Break
These days we only play a couple of times a year, and we’ll be taking another extended break after Saturday to focus on new and other projects, our families, and find new inspirations. Our time together on stage has always been sacred—we’re lucky to be a band of friends who can still challenge each other and genuinely enjoy each other’s company. So, we’re going to make this one count, and we can’t wait to share it with all of you.
Beat
At 8:00, when the first beat hits, it’s on. The eighty minutes we have on stage together, and the opportunity to share that energy with all of you, is what fills our veins with fire and makes the month of prep worth it. We finally get to meet you in the room, and for that hour and twenty minutes, anything can happen.
We’ll see you out there Saturday night at 8:00 at Atomic Tom’s!
Grown Ups - 8:00 P.M.
Caviar & Grits - 9:40 P.M.
