Last year, I thought it would be really fun to get to know a lot of Fringe performers, both local and from out of town, see their shows, share the experience with others - you know, be the indie media. Now I see a problem that I think must prey upon many people in a similar position: What the hell do you go watch?

How does one decide what to see, in what order? How much coverage do you give your friends? The new kids? The kids you're a fan of? In my case I tried to start with people who had sent me emails - get their content posted first.

I have heard of discounts for performing special feats, like Linwood Sassy's Screw You Review offering a discount to any one wearing an official Linwood Sassy t-shirt, but recently a show about a girl in love with an Orka sent me this tidbit:

2007: Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner has set aside two comp tickets for each performance for winners of our Love Story essay contest. Just write about a true love story that has ended well, 250 words or less, email to < ClarionRefugees AT aol DOT com > with your first and second preference for show times.
