Dear Fringe Enthusiast,
3... 2... 1 DAY TO GO!

We're ramping up to the 2008 Boulder Fringe Festival & are all agog at the sizzling lineup! Familiarize yourself with the shows by picking up one of the new 2008 programs - out & available for pick up at The Dairy, Laughing Goat Coffee House, and various other locations.   

And, hey, when you pick up your new program, consider picking up a few extras and passing them out to friends, or leave a stack at a local hot spot for others to peruse.  
Believe it or no, there are still a lot of locals who don't know about this amazing festival ~ taking place right in their local theatres, cafés, and bathrooms. It's amazing how a little well-placed chitchat can set an event like this one on its proverbial double-pierced ear.

Another great way to create a Fringe buzz is to send an email to your friends, telling them about the festival & asking them to see some shows with you.  

Heck, just invite them to this year's Opening Night extravaganza at the Boulder Theatre on Thursday, Aug 14th; a colorful night of entertainment if ever there was one.  We promise, after this lively "All You Can Artist Buffet", your friends will be hooked (and suddenly booked from the 14th through the 25th).  

Remember, tickets are available online - and our 5 & 10 punch passes are a great value!

Wanna dig a little deeper? Get a little closer? Chew a little longer? Consider climbing aboard as a Fringe Volunteer.  Just go to www.boulderfringe.com (click on "volunteer") or email: volunteers@boulderfringe.com.  Tell 'em Bubba sent ya.  They'll know what that means.

What: Fringe Festival Opening Night Gala

Where: The Boulder Theater

When: Thursday, August 14, 2008.  The Festivities begin at 6:00pm

Tickets: $10 - Advance Tickets can be purchased at the Boulder Theater Box office or Online.  Tickets will also be available at the door.

The kick-off evening will feature cellist/ songsmith Ian Cooke, and jazz chanteuse Heather Marie Philipp. However, the centerpiece of the evening's festivities is the "All You Can Artist Buffet," wherein Eddy the Eskimo takes the audience on a whirlwind tour of the 2008 Boulder Fringe's artistic offerings. Each Fringe artist gets 1 minute to preview their show, preparing Boulder audiences for the maelstrom of creative expression that is the Boulder International Fringe Festival.

A huge hit every year, the opening night "All You Can Artist Buffet" is a high-energy kickoff to Fringe's 12 days of Art, Madness, and Beauty!
