Middlebury Underground and Bundle invite you to tell your unique story in "LOVE, REALLY (.!?...)"- the latest installment of the FREE, curated, moth-style series. The type of love – and how you choose to punctuate your story – is entirely up to you. Hosted at Bundle, the pop-up event space in downtown Middlebury, the evening invites you to dig deep into your sense memories and tell your best 5-minute tale.

"Where there is love, there is life." –Mahatma Gandhi

Love takes many forms – from romantic love to small acts of kindness to everything in between. Maybe your pet tarantula is the object of your affection. Perhaps you love tacos almost as much as your first-born child. Or maybe you want to tell about the time you learned a lesson about love you'll never forget. Whatever the theme of your love-inspired story, we want to hear it.

Complimentary bites will tantalize your taste buds while stories stoke your appetite. Adult beverages from local partners available for purchase, alongside free, local apple cider.

"Love is the flower. You've got to let it grow."--John Lennon
