It's Been Awhile!!!
It's been awhile. For the last few weeks my life has been work, rehearsal, work, two hours of sleep, work rehearsal work, etc. I'm not complaining, but it explains my incoherence and my absence. I will be more attentive from now on, and that is an oath, to all two of my readers. (hi mom!!!)
I would like to preface the rest of this blog by saying that I have respect coming out of every orifice for the Fringe Festival. My dear festival, I have reported on you, acted in you, and i have made sweet sweet love to you even though you pretend it never happened. you complete me.
That said, someone in the higher-ups of the Fringe really screwed up tonight. The Festival kick-off party (essentially a networking op) was held in a too-small bridge-and-tunnel venue with loud top 30 music, strobelights and an innavigable bar. One could not drink, breathe, hear, or see.
Being sort of an awkward bunch acting in an intellectual play with no colorful costumes, no pop culture gimmicks, and only a few references to penises, we didn't quite know how to maneuver this puppy. So we all left. Which is why I am home blogging instead of drunk at a bar right now. We would have fared much better at Scores, which was right across the street.
Crunch time is near, and I'm terrified enough, thank you very much, without seeing how much more fun the other shows are capable of having in hellish circumstances. Why, oh why didn't we think of the blow up doll sex toy inner tube spiral wraparound contraption or the little phallic postcards?

Oh that club. If I had stayed any longer than I did I would have killed myself with something in my bag. Likely my three whole punch.
Yay for Halley's blog!

Just catching up on your posts now - my cast and crew went to the party as well for all of 2 minutes then got the fuck out of there. Awful. Last year it was at the same place and was a blast but this year it was completely overwrought. We wound up at a bar across the street (not Scores) but I had to thank you for pointing out that travesty of an evening.
