Speaking of missing out, now isn't the time to freeze-up on your fringing. We'd hate to see you get lost in the wake of those die-hard, olympiad Fringers, so we've taken the liberty of putting together your personal fringe Cliffs Notes.  It's not cheating, it's just learning really fast. 
Here goes:

1. Your festival program is your new wedding ring - have it on hand, or else.  Available at The Dairy, The Laughing Goat, or boulderfringe.com.
2. Know your venues.  This year's venues are clearly mapped out on page 14 of the program. 
3. Going on a Fringe Binge? Of course you are. Go pro; buy a Fringe punch pass at the Dairy 
4. Do deep lunges - stay limber for sprinting to the next show.  Like the wind, baby!
5. Catch the buzz of all of the great workshops. Everyone's doin it; it'll make ya feel reeeeal good.
6. Ma-me-may-mo-moo -  warm up those vocal cords for all those cool chats with strangers
   
7. And for goodness sake, have your answer ready to "seen any good shows?" cuz you will  be asked.
