Public Service Announcement
As always, we’re happy to be mentioned, but let’s just be clear on this:
Fray. Is not. A blog.

Ten Days and Counting
You gonna be there too? Say so!
Talking Champ
My beautiful and talented girlfriend has pulled up stakes at Harrumph and moved across town to her spiffy new photo-a-day site at the eponymous Hchamp. Did you know that Polaroid film goes blue when its out of date? Now you do.

UPDATE: I got it. Boy did I get it.

Remember that interview I mentioned? Well, the show, Invisible Ink, will air on KALW will air on 91.7fm in the Bay Area this Sunday at 2pm. It’ll also stream live and be available on Invisible Ink’s site after the fact. In fact, you can hear some promos on the Ink’s site now! In addition [...]
Meeting Tom

For the record, the man was surrounded by a perfect circle of gibbering fans all intermission. That’s gotta suck. And still he was very kind when I interrupted, said hello, and thanked him for making work [...]
