I'm so happy to welcome the subversive soothsayer Rob Brezsny to the stage at Fray Day 5 San Francisco! Rob is the mystic force behind Free Will Astrology, a horoscope column carried in weekly papers all over, as well as The Televisionary Oracle, a novel about "a lusty but sensitive rock star who encounters the leader of a goddess-worshiping religious order that values pranks as much as prayers." Welcome, Rob! Attention San Franciscans! I'm looking for volunteers to help put up Fray Day 5 SF flyers and pass out postcards in their local haunts. Want in? Just email me your name, address (so I can mail you stuff), phone number (so we can coordinate), and what part of town you'd like to hit. I'll be distributing stuff to the street team in the next few days, so email me asap if you can help. And thanks! Got a question about the way Fray Day works? Post it here! more >>> We've had a whole bunch of posters printed. New on fray.org: Are you coming to FD5? Tell us so! Hey folks! Derek here. I've designed up this groovy postcard to promote FD5. Now we just need to get 'em printed. And that's where you come in.... Help us spread the word about Fray Day by downloading and printing posters for your local event and placing them around your neighborhood, office, or bathroom! The following cities now have posters available for download on their event pages: San Francisco, Melbourne, LA, and Boston.

Download it, print a copy, make a dozen or few copies, and plaster them around your neighborhood. Hit up places like local colleges and coffeeshops, anywhere where potential storytellers may be found. (Which is to say, everywhere!) And tell your friends to do the same. I don't want to go anywhere in the L.A. area without seeing this flyer somewhere! Los Angeles: want a discount on a FD5 shirt? Some of us L.A. people will at be at Highland Grounds on August 11 (that's today!) at 8 PM.
