• Saturday night in photos and... Winter Gloves slay Fringe central

  Some of the highlights from last night, including the Best of the Fest at 13th Hour, and a deadly set by Winter Gloves (following some very iffy performances - and one truly awful one - earlier) at the beer tent that drew 350-plus people. And don't... Posted Jun 21 2009, 07:06 PM by Jamie O'Meara with | with 7 comment(s) Filed under: beer tent, 13th Hour, Frankie Awards, Winter Gloves

• Into each pop life some rain must fall

  What would the Fringe Fest be without a little rain? It would be glorious. But it wouldn't be the same. We wouldn't have to tell you this, for instance: Today's fun, free and fabulous Fringe Pop musical offerings scheduled for Parc des Ameriques...

• "Edgy seed" children dance the Fringe away

  The kids, as always, give the bands a run for their money in terms of pure entertainment value, and this year's opening night was no different as the dancing toddler contingent that Brett mentions a couple of posts down was in full flying force. The... Posted Jun 12 2009, 07:35 PM by Jamie O'Meara with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: beer tent

• I love the smell of adhesive in the evening

  Aw yes, the aroma of packing tape intoxicates. You know Fringe is underway when Parc des Ameriques smells like an Amazon.com distribution centre. At 6 p.m. on Thursday, all the companies from near and far received the green light to start plastering the...
