This month's theme was #adulting. We heard stories about having to act like a grownup for the first time, figuring out a career path, and learning to shop like an adult. In the end we had a tie - Susan Crawford, with her story about how her perspective on her father shifted, and Ted Elicker, who talked about what it means to be the adult in a relationship.

Susan and Ted are pictured here with this month's host, Matt McDunnell. They each won an exclusive York Story Slam journal from our friends at Story Supply Co. and earned a spot in our Grand Slam in November.

Watch videos of all the stories from that night here.
