And now, because I’m home sick missing cool stuff and have nothing better to do…here are five of my fav’rit OTTAWA FRINGE FESTIVAL promo videos, that I’ve been perusing on YouTube tonight. Check ‘em all out, then see all their shows June 14th-24th: I saw Howard Petrick’s show RAMBO: THE MISSING YEARS in Victoria, and [...]
Victoria FRINGE-COMA 2011 – Epilogue
I’m dragging this out. There’s no question really, the Fringe was over, like, a week ago now. Even I don’t write THIS slow. Yeah, I’m dragging it out. What of it? Thanks to a $700 plane ticket and a 2-week vacation, I’ve managed to artificially extend my beloved Fringe experience into September, but this is [...]
Victoria FRINGE-COMA 2011 – Day TEN
Last weekend has arrived. Before long, I’ll be back in Ottawa, moping around the downtown streets in a lonely haze (instead of doing that in Victoria…totally different). I want this Fringe road-trip to end on a good note..I want it to end STRONG. And how do you get strong? I can’t really AFFORD steroids, so… [...]
Victoria FRINGE-COMA 2011 – Day NINE
Ow. I think maybe I should not have had QUITE so many apricot beers at the Mint after Fringe Club the other nite…I’m still tryingto shake it off. Still, we must soldier on, and on, and…and, hey, did I ever see some good god damn shows his friday! Let’s start with the start. Or, rather, [...]
Victoria FRINGE-COMA 2011 – Day EIGHT
This is gonna be a tricky one. I’ve caved in, abandoned the cushy, if expensive warmth of my internet cafes, and joined the 21st century with a spanking new ‘netbook’, from which I’m currently attempting to write this entry, with the aid of Serious Coffee and their magical, wi-fi airwaves. I’m still adjusting to the [...]
Victoria FRINGE-COMA 2011 – Day SEVEN
We’re past the halfway point of both the Victoria Fringe, AND my vacation, and that’s as good an excuse as any for feelin’ glum, right kids? Most of my time spent in Victoria is a sad collage of wandering the streets alone, muttering to myself, or writing about sweet Fringe shows to an online audience [...]
Victoria FRINGE-COMA 2011 – Day SIX
I’m starting to get a morning ritual down here in Victoria. Clamber out of my hovel.hostel, shamble down to some local coffeeshop (Serious Cofee, more likely than not) fr a heaping cup of java and perhaps a wee snack. Then off to Stain for my precious internetting time, and then away to find someplace to [...]
Victoria FRINGE-COMA 2011- Day FIVE
I DID have Fish ‘n Chips, thank you very much, and it was tasty as Hell. Nice one, Old Vic. You done filled my belly. Now, I didn’t get a lot ELSE done yesterday, besides picking up a back issue of WRAPPED IN PLASTIC at one of your fine comic shops, because reading decade-old writeups [...]
Victoria FRINGE-COMA 2011 – Day FOUR
It’s Monday. Which I guess means I’m back to trying to figure out how to fill these 8+ hour voids of non-Fringing in my Victoria-vacation days. You’re going to bore me into looking at whales, aren’t you, BC? Fine, fine. At least I’ve got my trusty Chud to fill a few hours, because if today [...]
