Joe Lambert is the Founding Director of the Center for Digital Storytelling and an occasional Fray performer. He's also a "wine-sipping, feminist-friendly, god-forsaken neo-buddhist marxist art dude living outside of reality as a hopelessly heathen high tech hippy." Or, at least, that's what a Texan would say. You can read Joe's response to that and other stories from his trip to Italy at his new site, Texan In Exile.
