About

Blogging Fringe was created by Liberatr.net for the purpose of chronicling and reviewing the Orlando Fringe Festival. Three intrepid bloggers - Ryan Price, Emily, and Katharine Miller - were determined to capture and publicize the events of the 2006 festival.

It is this endeavor's sincere hope to capture the spirit of one of Orlando's most significant cultural events. The work continues through the off-season with a series of open discussions involving Fringe Producers, Patrons, Organizers and Performers. As the 2007 Fringe draws ever closer, we will be covering every show beforehand with text, audio, video - anything we can manage. A team of volunteers is being assembled to aid in the collection, editing and management of this volume of information. Ryan Price and the Blogging Fringe Street Team, along with Cervo Systems are offering their time and resources to make sure Fringe continues to grow - Blogging Fringe will be the home of those efforts.

He has never officially been in a play, though he loves to perform and has played percussion in many bands, from drum ensembles and marching bands to a local pop band called Marc with a C.

Videos & Fringe Crush

At the 2007 Fringe, a conversation between Ryan and Denna about the magnetic performance of Poofy du Vey led to Denna asking many performers and personalities at the festival "Who's your Fringe Crush?" In later years, Blogging Fringe would be recognized with a Fabby award for this contribution, and a Fabby was created for the performer who is the most crushed upon. There are dozens of Fringe crush videos on YouTube, and many of them make it onto the official Orlando Fringe blog or twitter feed, as well as this site.
