Fray Cafe 9
Sunday March 15, 2009 - Monday March 16, 2009 from 8:00pm - 12:00am
Red Eyed Fly
715 Red River
Austin, Texas 78701 Get Directions
Fray Cafe 9 continues the tradition of true, personal stories. This year, we have a new host: author, storyteller and Fray veteran Kevin Smokler. Featured speakers this year include Clarence Smith (www.doyouknowclarence.com) who tore it up last year with a story about climbing stairs behind a pregnant woman, Fray veteran Michael Buffington (grockit.com), Librarian Supertar Jessamyn West (www.librarian.net) and book-editor-to-the-stars (Jaimie Oliver, Kristin Gore, Chris Anderson) Will Schwalbe.

As always, we will have our open mic, so bring your own true story to tell, or just come and enjoy the stories of your friends and neighbors.
