DECEMBER 2002 (Austin, Texas) - The Live Oak Coffeehouse this month presents
Tyler's Jealousy Motel and the Green Cards of Austin in a benefit performance
for Austin SafePlace. The performance is on Friday, December 13, at 7:30 p.m.
at the Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Church in Northwest Austin.

Admission is $10 at the door. Gourmet coffee and pastries will be served, and
are included in the price of admission.

As always, the concert will be smoke-free and alcohol-free, putting the
emphasis on the music and the musicians. Three-quarters of the gate goes to
the performers, and one-quarter to the selected charity. Since the
coffeehouse is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization, all of the money
from admissions paid at the door and season passes goes to the performers and
the charity.

SafePlace exists to end sexual and domestic violence and abuse. SafePlace
helps those hurt by this violence to heal and empower themselves. The
organization provides prevention, intervention, education, and advocacy to
our community so that women, children and men may lead safe and healthy
lives. More information is available at www.austin-safeplace.org.

Jealousy Motel are John Defoore (guitar/vocals), Dirje Smith (cello/vocals)
and Randy Brown (guitar/mandolin/vocals), three talented songwriters with an
uncanny command of many genres of music from folk to jazz to blues to swing
and beyond along with a self-effacing humor that is all too absent from the
stage these days. An odd name, but one that comes closest to describing the
sound and feel of this truly unique acoustic group.

The Sarah Pierce Band, originally scheduled to headline our December show,
had to cancel its appearance. The December 13 show will now be a double bill,
with Jealousy Motel and the Green Cards.

The Live Oak Coffeehouse has set dates and performers for our Spring 2003
season, which opens our sixth year of presenting monthly coffeehouse
