Dear Fringe Enthusiast,
                                  
Hello? Hello?
Is this thing on?

Ohhhhh it's ON, people,
and it's HOT! sssst.

So, whadya say we make it official?

(ahem).

We hereby declare the games
of the 4th Boulder International Fringe Festival open.  Release the doves.

Now, we hope you're caught up on sleep, because you'll have at least 37 choices of shows to see on Saturday alone, and that's not including the 4 workshops & KidsFringe - all promising to be fantastic.  T'aint Dullsville, that's for sure.

And don't forget, the gang gathers every night after shows at 10:00pm for C.R.A.B at The Laughing Goat for even more performances, guaranteed guffaws, and best of all, good conversation.  **This year, stick around for the late night - post C.R.A.B - revelries at The Scottish Pub, on the corner of Broadway and Walnut in Boulder. 

Didja make it to Opening Night at the Boulder Theatre last night? (Hooey and holy fun! Can I get a witness!?).  If you missed it, I'm afraid there's no gentle way to say it, you missed artistic bedlam at its best -- pass the straight-jacket please.

 
                            Zany Angels Dance Theatre Company

By the way, try to check out the Boulder Farmer's Market tomorrow for Fringe t-shirts & other gear.  If you're lucky, you might catch glimpses of Fringe performers giving snapshots of their upcoming shows.  They've got the freshest corn, salsa, and street performers around!

And you don't want to miss KidsFringe on Saturday, which will be a wildy fun, day-long event showcasing  a fashion show,  Splatter Paint Tent & a Graffiti Wall, not to mention live teen bands, poetry workshops, and Theatre Games! ( good luck getting these kids to bed!)

So, drink your H2O, catch some Z's, and you should be OK for tomorrow. We wouldn't want any of you to become "frincoherent" from too much excitement.
