Fringe Approacheth

Submitted by ryanprice on Tue, 05/15/2007 - 11:33

This Fringe Festival kicks off this week on Thursday night from 6 to 9 when the Fringe has the opening night party - people will be dressed as hippies with protest buttons and signs. There will be live performances and drinking and good times. I think there are a few official shows that day as well.

Yes folks, you can stat your support of blogging at Fringe with no strings attached. You can delete the link at the bottom for all I care.

During the festival you will be able to make a 2" button with your own message on it - this is one of 9 templates that will be available at the Blogging Fringe/Florida Creatives tent in the Fringe Biergarten (I mean out by the beer tent). Come bring your donations for Blogging Fringe on opening weekend and wear a button with your message on it all week long!

Fringe Programs (changes)

Submitted by ryanprice on Sat, 05/12/2007 - 11:26

With less than a week until the festival, you can now pick up programs all around Orlando - I've got one from Stardust. In a seemingly typical fashion, there are errors in the program. They're correct on the Fringe Website and our individual shows pages, so don't worry if you're looking online, but make sure you double check if your show has dancing canvases, Marlon Brando, or dance/film mash-ups. CineDance only has three shows to begin with, so you don't want to miss one because of a misprint.

This meme is traveling around MySpace, so I thought I'd release it to the rest of the web. Written by Beth Marshall, it is a list of guidelines for experiencing the Orlando Fringe.

From Beth's Fringe FAQs blog on MySpace:

Here is a basic FRINGE 101 guide of FAQ's to help aid you in having a positive FRINGE experience. Please pass this email along to all your friends. Post it on your blogs, newsletters, websites or wherever you want.

Something From the MySpace

Remember that weird ad PUSH Interactive showed off last year, with an intern standing on the street corner holding a sign? Apparently that is the genius plan by the Webby-award-winning group... to take pictures of people holding signs. On Monday February 12th down at Loch Haven Park, they're having a photo shoot, and you're to bring a sign, and it can say just about anything (as long as you're cool with them printing it on a poster.
