Yesterday I went to Stardust Video & Coffee for the Grandma Party Craft Bazaar / Outdoor Concert / Charity Fundraiser. I had a blast! My table involved making original buttons out of whatever materials you brought - most people used the provided paper and markers, but I also had people bring photos, magazine clippings and compositing several pieces together.
The purpose of the table was to promote my networking group, the Florida Creatives Happy Hour. Lots of people were interested, including someone readers of this blog should be familiar with… Genevieve Bernard.
Genevieve is the Artistic Director for Voci Dance, as well as the Associate Producer for the Orlando Fringe. While I managed to grab lots of photos at the booth yesterday, I didn’t actually get one with Genevieve, but here’s one I found on the Fringe Blog.
As artistic director for a dance troupe, Genevieve had her “Dance Cards” in her bag, and when she pulled them out was when I recognized who she was. I told her how much I liked this campaign becuase it was “Very Voci”. The reason why is because Genevieve made them. Here are some samples from the photoshoot for “Waiting”.
I’m sure you’ll be hearing more about Genevieve and Voci as the festival draws closer. I had a great time talking to her, and she’s going to be a great candidate for a future interview.

Hey everyone! Ryan here with some FABULOUS updates! First of all, if you’re reading this post via RSS feed, MySpace or email, please immediately stop what you’re doing and head over to the BloggingFringe.com home page. You’ll notice the site looks a fair bit different now, with a search box and some other fun stuff.
First off, take a gander at the search box. We feel that part of the benefit of an online publication like Blogging Fringe is the ability to instantly jump to exactly the content you’re looking for, and the easiest way to find that special something is through a search. Blogging Fringe has been around for an entire year now, so we’ve got a fair amount of articles, podcasts, videos, interviews, reviews and updates to check out. Search results always appear sorted by date so you can find the most recent stuff first.
Next, we have a list of the 10 most recent posts to the ‘Blog’ section of our site. Also not that what was once the home page has now moved to BloggingFringe.com/blog - the blog is still a very important part of blogging fringe, but we are trying to expand our offerings, and it made sense to move the blog off the homepage.
Also featured on the home page is our Twitter update widget. Right now we only have a few friends on Twitter, but you can very easily have your updates posted directly to the homepage of Blogging Fringe by going to Twitter.com and creating an account. Once you’ve done that, add bloggingfringe to your friends list, and we will add you back.
Soon, you’ll be able to get everyone’s Fringe-related updates through Twitter, but for now, it just works the normal way. You get 140 characters (about the length of a text message) to say anything you like. For example, “Just got out of the Yellow Venue, what a great performance!” is only 59 characters, so you can actually fit a fair amount in one post. If you choose to, you can also recieve Twitter updates over the phone, but don’t forget that text messages can cost big money if you don’t have a plan.
We are working hard on updating our information about the multitude of Fringe shows for 2007, and we are always looking for support in the way of money/Fringe Bucks/comp tickets, bloggers, photo sharers, opinion-givers, video-makers, and whatever else you can think of. We are no different from other Fringe patrons, we just want to share our stories with you.
