Lacy from the Orlando Community Hooping Initiative (CHI) tells us about her plans for a Hula-Hooping meetup at Blue Jacket Park in Baldwin Park every Thursday from 6-8PM.
According to the flyer, poi spinners, jugglers, drummers, musicians, circus artists and other skill toy technicians are welcome.
About 30 game cards are now floating around the festival... I know that's a very small number, considering there are tens of thousands of people that will shuttle through Loch Haven Park in the next 2 weeks, but it's a start.
Their mission was to pick mushrooms together.
Anna's achievement of "Loving up on a Bald Person".
Sharing Photos
Theresa, Kids' Fringe Producer, brought up a good point - if it says "photo", or if I choose to use a photo as my proof, what do I do with it?
I say just post it wherever you normally do. If you use Flickr, that's my #1 recommendation. MySpace and Facebook are fine too. Some of you may have Picasa, Photobucket, Twitpic or other photo-sharing sites.
Wherever you put your photos, if you DON'T want them re-posted here, please say so.
Viual Fringe has already sold 12 pieces! Congrats to all the artists who were so awesome that someone bought their work so fast! There are 156 pieces in Visual Fringe this year, so take some time to check out all the unjuried art at the 2009 festival.
Brian Feldman, dully appointed Grand Marshall of Whatever, opened the line for the first night of shows of Albert Pergande's The Mayor of Orange Avenue. The show is based (I don't know how faithfully) on real Orlando people, places, and events, with the evil Central Hospital wanting to take over the whole block, and the sappy little antique shop that seems to have all odds against it.

This year at the Fringe, Blogging Fringe has created a game we hope you're really going to love. The object is to earn Whuffie, which is the most valuable currency known to man.
What's a Whuffie?
Whuffie are virtual points which represent respect, a "Reputation Currency". You earn whuffie as people credit you out of respect, gratitude, pity, lust, love, or any other motive for popularity.
"Whuffie recaptured the true essence of money: in the old days, if you were broke but respected, you wouldn't starve; contrariwise, if you were rich and hated, no sum could buy you security and peace. By measuring the thing that money really represented — your personal capital with your friends and neighbors — you more accurately gauged your success".
