Recap of Fray Cafe 5
Posted by Eric on Wednesday 16 March 05 @ 10:00PM

Fray Cafe 5 didn't have a theme, despite the constant recurrence of goats. It was not planned. Seriously. Goats are just part of life.

I digress.

The show ran from 8:30 until midnight, with featured speakers Kevin Smokler and Robert Nagle, and a stream of regular and first-time open mic performers.

Kevin shared a story about his first day as a journalist; Robert recalled his perils with cleanliness in Albania; Andrew confronted his fears about terror; Ryan encountered a car crash; Halcyon told a story about love and porn; Cinnamon shares how she got her name; Michael had sympathy for the goat; David found a family---and these are just a few of the true, personal stories that make Fray so wonderful---stories told by people like you.

Thanks to everyone who showed up to participate in Fray Cafe 5!

Look out Austin!

Just wanted to step in with a hearty thanks to the local organizer of Fray Cafe 5, mister Michael Brown, who's been the guy behind the scenes for almost all the Fray events in Austin over the years. And special thanks to our emcee Eric Rice, who's an original Fray contributor and frequent performer at Fray events. He's also got a way with a video camera. Look out, Austin, it's gonna be a helluva show!

Fray Cafe 5
Posted by Eric on Friday 4 March 05 @ 8:49PM

Fray Cafe Austin is turning 5, and you can celebrate by joining us at 8pm for a night of great storytelling. Fray Cafe 5 takes place on Sunday, March 13, 2005 at the familiar Red Eyed Fly at 715 Red River, only a few blocks north of the Hilton.

Never been? Fray Cafe is a night of true personal stories told live and on stage. There will be a couple of featured performers, some live music, and a storytelling open mic. For a taste of what it's like, check out the photos from last year and the Fray Audio Archive.
