It's with a mixture of sadness and relief that we bid adieu to the 2009 edition of the Montreal Fringe Festival: sadness because many are (quite rightly) calling it the best Fringe ever in terms of the overall quality of the shows, and relief because I don't know if a lot of us could have done another day (and/or night... the last two 13th Hour shows and the Frankie Awards were pretty monumental in every sense). And if anyone sees my liver, tell it it's safe to come home: daddy promises not to beat it with a booze-hammer anymore.
Anyway, congratulations to all the Fringe organizers and volunteers, and all the artists and musicians, who lent their energies to a pretty spectacular Fringe. And special thanks from me to all of Hour's writers/bloggers who were so generous with their time and talents in making this site a rousing success over the course of the Fringe - you're the best, thank you.
Here's to hoping we see you all here again next year!
