Fringe Full of Stars is Almost Upon us! Let me help promote your show!

A Fringe full of stars is almost here! The kick off was today and, like many others, I was on my keyboard at 12:00 noon exactly so that I could buy my Double Fringer Pass! I'm glad to say that I got one so that means I have 20 shows to see for sure (and more if people are nice to me and comp me or I scrounge some extra dollars to see a few more - it certainly has been known to happen!)!

Anyhow, I was feeling a little grumpy because earlier this summer a friend chastised me for seeing their Fringe show last year on the last day of the Festival and because of that I didn't blog about it until after the festival was done. Folks, it's a logistics game with a very full spreadsheet, limited time and money, and a very tired Finster! I do what I can, really, and that's why I started the Word of Mouth posts several Fringes ago because I can't get to every show and I want to get the word out about the many, many, many fabulous shows that are out there. 

Anyhow, I may not get to your show, or I may not get to it until the last day of the festival - however, if you want me to blog about your show before the Fringe starts, I invite you to email me at smeep22003@yahoo.ca with the answers to the following questions and a show image and I will spend the next week posting in advance of Fringe to tell people about your show! Once Fringe starts all bets are off, so get yours to me before Wednesday, August 13th. Also, if you want me to see your show in the first couple of days - offer me a comp (just one - I fringe alone) and I will try to fit it in! 

1. Title and Venue of show 
2. Who's in it? Who helped build it? How are they awesome?
3. Why should I (and others) come see your show? (please don't say "to support artists" - I'm doing that no matter what show I see - tell me what I will get out of it - soul shaking tears, belly-laughter, a new understanding of the world, amazing musical experience, etc... please make this about me as the audience member and my experience.)
4. Anything else you'd like to add!

Thanks! I'm planning my Fringe over the next few days so earlier is better for getting back to me! I CAN'T WAIT to see what you have for me to see!
