My Fringe (and Mom's) for Friday, August 6th

Well, some tough decisions had to be made, but here it is. I wanted to give Mom a little variety, so that was the guiding rule, along with cramming in as many of my Top Tens, While You're At Its, Sure Things, or Hidden Gems as possible.

I'm taking a half day at work. Mom gets in on a flight shortly after 1pm. When I told her there was a 2:30 show, she was giddy with Fringe excitement. So off we go to

2:30pm
This Love Train Is Unstoppable and I Am The Conductor
Inept Productions at
Jungle Theater

There are a couple of 4pm shows, but I want to get Mom settled in and get her some food. Gotta keep our energy up for the night ahead.

Just down the block from my apartment, doing the first of only two performances (Friday 8/6 and Saturday 8/7), so we have to see it now is...

And then I can let Mom sleep off all that theater while I get started on blogging about those six shows. Heh, heh, the Fringe has begun.

On to Mom's crash course Fringe, Day 2.
