A final thank-you to Cincinnati volunteers As I told Derek by email, it seems like a million years since Saturday. With events of this week what they are, the realization that we accomplished--and by "we," I mean EVERYONE who was at FD5 in Cincinnati--something truly amazing felt even more real to me. What a terrific way to connect, to feel human, to feel good. And it would never have happened without these people, my core group: more >>> Fray Day 5 San Francisco rocked!

Fray Day Boston was a huge success! more >>> Ruta Maya was absolutely sweltering--yikes! (If you were at Fray Cafe and remember how "comfortable" it was, you might also want to remember that that was in March, a pleasant time of year in Austin.) Despite the fact that we left Ruta Maya in the same un-air-conditioned state as we found it, it was a fantastic show! more >>> Hi-Ho! Hi-Ho! It's off to Fray we go! The PA is enroute. The band are setting up. We're all about to converge on the Cafe Hotel for Fray Day Melbourne.
