Being my first Fringe show for the year, I guess I had high expectations. Really, I was just excited about being back in this den of debauchery, seeing great performances.
Also, being the VH1 aficionado and pop culture fiend that I am, this show intrigued me. It also intrigued me that this was the same company last year that put on tape – while they were still in high school. Holy shit. I didn’t see their production last year, but being familiar with the movie adaptation of the play, I would have been terrified of the subject matter when I was in high school.
You asked for it, you got it... MORE FRING CRUSHES!!!!! I've put them all on a player! Keep checking back so you don't miss a one... who knows could be you that gets Fringe crushed!
This is soooo good it had to be cut in 2!!

Intermission
and part 2
Day 5 aka Tuesday is a repeat day of Monday, you know the kind, it just seems the amse but different. I find myself in place to break my personal record of 32 Fringe year with 19 shows seen before the half way point, which is today!
My 5 started at one of those shows that is near and dear to my heart (and maybe on day to my wallet) Mark Baratelli’s Improv Cabaret in the blue venue. I am very lucky to have seen this show grow since it’s conception last year. Mark almost never stops making me laugh! I laughed so hard I cried.
From the Six Characters Blog:
BEST SHOW EVER! Tonight-- VOLUNTEER NIGHT!! 11:40pm
Just a quick announcement to let all Fringe Festival Volunteers know that our show this evening is going to be dedicated to all you hard-working volunteers that make this festival happen and keep things moving! (read that as FREE for Volunteers!!)
Come see Best Show Ever!
It’s hard but not in a real way. I mean seeing shows and chatting It up with peeps isn’t really hard. As I’ve said before, I love this time of year. There’s a energy in the air. It must be all of the creativity that abounds in almost every one you meet at the festival.
Even if a show isn’t all what you think it should be cracked up to be, maybe gets a not so great review. You have to admire the process of the journey, at least I do.
I have figured out I am getting on average 5 hours of sleep a night. I haven’t been to the mailbox since last Wednesday.
On Monday night at the Orlando Fringe, the cast of Six Characters: Best Show Ever from NY, NY had an event where patrons got to throw pies in the face of a character.
Later, Rye from Influx Dance (Boston, MA) gave our producer Ryan a rainbow tattoo sporting the phrase "Become a Rockstar".
I got an email with some thoughts about the Frigne.
Dear Deena Beena,
First of all, thank you for coming to see our show. And thanks for laughing till you "almost peed." That's great news!
I went to Blogging Fringe.com because I wanted to leave my two cents about Fringe. However, I couldn't figure out how to do that.
