Fray Cafe is a flash flood of human emotion. It appears in cities all over the world at random intervals, and real people come out and tell their true stories.

This Fray Cafe happened in Austin, Texas, on March 9, 2003. The Mercury Lounge was smokey that night - full of beer and stories and stage fright. The brave souls who took the stage that night each had five minutes and a microphone to tell a true story. What came out was amazing, and 13 of them were captured on this CD.

From Scott singing the songs he grew up on to Derek's tale of blood and teddy bear guts, from Kevin's video store nightmare to Tarin's explosion of estrogen, from Brad's misplaced lust to Geoffrey's band scars, from Ben's homicidal dad to Ryan's treasure trail ... each story captures a magic moment in the teller's life, and resonates with anyone with blood still flowing in their veins.

If you like true stories, you'll love this CD.
