On Thursday, December 4, Volume One's storytelling series Let's Be Honest took place in The V1 Gallery. Some of the area's best writers and yarn-spinners took to the mic for a night of personal stories told live. The night's theme was Original Kin: Highs and lows with the people we call "family." Featured tellers included Patti See, Jennifer Hazen, Paul Kaldjian, and Mack Hastings.

The event was sponsored by Burrachos Fresh Mexican Grill.
