So yesterday I saw the Fringe opening ceremonies. The parade wasn’t that spectacular, but I saw Alice in it. (She was in my improv class.) She was on stilts promoting her play, “Swashbucklers”. I guess she learned stilt-walking while in clown school. Anyway she talked to me, and even gave me a password that would get me into her play for free. Nice of her, but I still feel I should pay. It’s her first play, so I want to be supportive.
I saw a few previews of other plays, but nothing too great. I’m interested in seeing “The One Man Show”, which stars four people.
Today seemed to drag on forever. Maybe I ate too much for lunch, but concentrating on work was hard. Anyway, when I got home I just went onto my deck and sunned a bit. The sun was low, but I’m hoping to get some tan beneath my chin. After that I got up and met Andrew and Kevin on the festival grounds. I wasn’t rushing off to a play. There don’t seem to be that many that I want to see playing tonight. So I get to take it easy. We went to Julio’s Barrio and munched a bit on Mexican food. I had to leave before the others to catch my first play.
Despicable was good. It was a David Belke play, so not necessarily pushing boundaries, but still giving you good entertainment. It was a film noir mystery, with several betrayals. I think the music was a little too loud, but that seemed to work itself out soon enough.
For the first time, David Belke has two plays at the Fringe. The other one is called Adorable, and I’ll see it tomorrow. It has the exact same cast.
My next play is “Pilk’s Madhouse” and it doesn’t start until 11:30. So I went home, and I’m relaxing a bit. And taking the opportunity to update the journal.
