Featured Performers
It's my pleasure to introduce some of the featured performers you'll see on stage this Sunday....
 Ben Brown runs So New Media, an ultra-micro-mini publishing house. He's writing a novel about reality television, and contributed to fray's 2001 and Valentine's Day pieces. Little known fact: he's got 6 pieces of metal in his body.
 Brad L. Graham is a writer, editor, soft-shoe dancer, singer of sentimental ballads, raconteur and bon vivant from St. Louis, Missouri. His writing has appeared in publications across the country, mostly in the form of bitterly-worded personal ads. He has spun tales at Fray Days 4 through 6 and at last year's Fray Cafe 2. Both by accident and on purpose, he has purchased foodstuffs for a variety of celebrities, including a chocolate chip cookie for Dolly Parton, a fruit smoothie for George Stephanopolous, and salad dressing for Mark McGwire.
 Jish Mukerji will be telling a story about his supreme studliness. This will be the fourth time he gets up on stage to tell a story at a Fray event, and hopes it's not his last. It's not commonly known that Jish once pee'd out the fourth story window of his high school chemistry class. Thankfully, there were no witnesses and only a shrub received his "blessing."
 Despite the efforts of security, John Halcyon Styn has gotten on stage at several past Fray events. His homepage, cockybastard.com became lifestudent.com this year when he realized how incredibly far he has to go. MTV film crews hilighted his digital journeys in last year's "Naked on the Net" documentary. He will be sharing a story about Grandpa Caleb.
 Kevin Smokler is a book critic for a San Francisco Chronicle and a contributor to Invisible Ink Radio on NPR. He's performed at all three Fray Cafes, Fray Days 4 through 6 in San Francisco, and appears on the Fray Day 5 CD. As a child, he had a stuffed dog named Marshmallow.
 Scott Andrew LePera ekes out a haphazard existence as frustrated urban folksinger and creative force behind the Walkingbirds. He last performed live at Fray Day 5 San Francisco, along with fellow songwriter Laurie Hallal, and in 2002 helped produce the Fray Day 5 CD to benefit the Fray Organization. Scott once fell off the roof of a barn while training to be a ninja.
 Tarin Towers is the author of several {fray} stories, has performed at almost all of the San Francisco events, and appears on the Fray Day 5 CD. Tarin has toured with Sister Spit and the Ignition tour, and she has performed at such venues as the Nuyorican Poets Cafe and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. She's the author of Sorry, We're Close, a collection of poetry and fiction. Tarin spent several months in high school putting dirt into pots, until she got the coveted meat slicing job at Yoder's, the Amish superstore.
