Fringeing

I'm going to Scotland! For the month of August I will be working at the 2007 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. For the month of August the festival takes over the city (whose population DOUBLES during that time) and about 260 venues put up a huge variety of shows, from Shakespeare and Moliere to physical theatre, standup, family theatre, music, interpretive dance with whipped cream... the works.

So, in that melee will be me, helping to publicize, promote, sell, and otherwise pimp four different shows to the overwhelmed crowd, while seeing as much theatre as I possibly can and solving whatever crises may come up.

Or so we think. It's the kind of thing that I don't think I'll really understand until I'm on the ground. So follow along as I go east to Edinburgh, Edimbourg, Ed-in-burra.
