Fray Cafe 8 continues the tradition of true, personal stories. As always, we're at the Red Eyed Fly.

This year, we have a new host: comedian, author, vigilante pundit and overall social media junkie Baratunde Thurston.

There will be featured stories from
Kevin Smokler - http://kevinsmokler.com
Heather Gold - http://heathergold.com
Ariel Meadow Stallings - http://electrolicious.com, http://salonofshame.com
Clarence Smith Jr - http://www.doyouknowclarence.com

We'll also have our open mic, so bring your own story to tell.
