My Fringe (and Mom's) for Saturday, August 7th

Wow. That sucked. Sorry for the delay, everyone. I meant to be blogging my little heart out most of the afternoon already but there was a theatre-related fire (metaphorical, but nonetheless important) that needed to be put out. Done now. On we go...

Mom's second and final day at the Fringe. Now that she's had an night to rest up from her travels, time for more marathon theatre fun before she flies back on Sunday.

We can walk to the first venue but after that it's my car's personal attack on the ozone layer as we zip back and forth across Minneapolis like we were in some giant Fringe-sized, live-action pinball machine.

I'm tempted to drag Mom out to Fringe Central at Hennepin Stages downtown, but I did Look Ma, No Pants last night so she could get a good night's rest tonight before I have to drop her off at the airport in the morning on Sunday. We'll see how we feel. Maybe Fringe Central happens after Look Ma on Friday night.

Then I'm off for Fringe Day 3, solo.
