It looks like our old acquaintance Mark Baratelli is now in charge of the Orlando Fringe’s MySpace profile (and blogging?). Since things are beginning to take shape on that front, things will start to take shape here as well. I can’t say when, but this site will be moving sometime before the end of the year so we can get some new software installed to help Fringe patrons and artists get a real dialogue going.
I don’t think MySpace is going to be the only way for people to communicate like it was last year. Really, last year’s online discussion took place between performers and geeks and a few of their friends who were on MySpace. This year things will be MySpace heavy, but that website is so horrible I think lots of people who just want quick info will be turned off by it. Some of my thoughts on this are presented in the Fringe Thinktank 01 podcast.
Fringe’s NEW MySpace

I think there are some serious typographic errors over on the upcoming events page at OrlandoFringe.org - just because you say you’ve got a “new website coming in September” doesn’t mean you can slack off on proofreading like you did last year.
The point of this post is not to get down on typos, but to let you know about the Fringe’s fundraising event, All Hallow’s 10. It’s being held at the Footlight Theater at the Parliment House, and it will be some sort of drama put together by 10 or so of Orlando’s Theater directors. The name David Lee (Hedwig and the Angry Inch, 2006) jumps out, as well as Michael Wanzie (The Lion Queen, 2006), Rob Ward, Scottie Campbell, Doodie Humor, Peter Hurgen, Jr., Tod Kimbro, Michael Garbey, Nothin’ Productions and Jil Bevan. As a one-year Fringe reporting veteran, I can’t claim to know who all of these people are, but if you know, show us some love in the comments.
I am also writing this post so I can add this blog to my Technorati Profile. Don’t mind that link.
