There’s no theme for BooTown’s Grown-up Story Time 28, so you can expect a bit of everything: bawdy comedies, over-the-top farces, personal tales that leave the reader raw. With an open forum and no limits on the subject matter or presentation style, there should also be at least one WTF story in the line-up. Not that shock value’s the goal; BooTown’s events are about the craft of storytelling, both written and in performance. 9:30 p.m. Rudyard’s British Pub, 2010 Waugh Drive. For information, call 713-521-0521 or visit www.bootown.org. $5.
