Well, sadly fringe is done for another year. I didn’t get to a record personal attendance (my best is still 24 or 25, I can’t remember) but I did get close with 23 different plays. As usual I went into the festival wondering if there was enough I truly wanted to see, [...]

Personal fringe attendance has dropped a bit for me at this point in the week. Combination of shitty scheduling and personal tasks always seem to wipe out one or two days in week 2 but this year is worse than most.
Tuesday night I caught my favorite performance poet (not suprisingly a short list anyway) Mr. [...]

Ok, so it was an extra day. Yesterday was a nutso day of cooking and fringing. Post title courtesy of Phil the Void, not sure what’s up with the Jesus theme I generally just pick a funny line that sticks out in my memory of something I’ve seen the day before.

It’s almost Fringe time… A few days from now the area surrounding Winnipeg’s Old Market Square will be filled with Venue desks, theatregoers and food trucks. 12 straight days of theatre goodness for increasingly not low prices await the citizens of Winnipeg who haven’t fled to cottages or holidays. The program this year looks passable, [...]

As many people know I’m a bit of a Russophile; I love old propaganda posters and probably know more Soviet and Russian history (both political and military) than I realistically should as a Canadian kid who grew up in the 80’s. I know how to swear in Russian, took a year of Russian in university [...]

Doc Marten’s is having a contest whereby they’ll actually make one of these. I just want to see how far I can get up with stupid ideas. The goons from SomethingAwful.com are thoroughly ruining the contest already for the enjoyment of all. Go vote “Love it!” for my boot!

I hope everyone who enjoys poker has been following the World Series of Poker the past few weeks. I have no doubt the ESPN coverage will start appearing on TV as soon as they can finish editing it but it’s entertaining to follow along online as it happens. ESPN will never let you know the [...]
