Dear Boulder Fringe Enthusiast,

Hew,
this has been raucous! 

6 days of theater,
150 hours
of actual
                          Paul Hutcheson performing On Second Thought

performances so far, not to mention the nights at C.R.A.B, Workshops, and the Fringe Opening Night Party! And we've still got 4 days to go (counting today!) - can I get an AY-MEN??

That's right, there's still just enough time to see the show you've heard everyone gushing about. Or if you need some ideas, don't be bashful - ask around & check out the reviews on the Boulder Fringe website.  Heck, put a sign around your neck that says "tell me what shows to see"; anything'll do - these folks aren't shy.

Here's a reminder to
pick up your t-shirts,
bags & other
memorabilia
while it lasts (rumor has it the t-shirts have superpowers & perhaps the answer to world peace woven into their fabric.  In which case, it may be your moral responsibility to purchase one.  But there's really no pressure).  
                                                           Marko Olofson & Eliza Ladd prove
                                                           the Fringe t-shirt superhero theory

There are two outstanding workshops tomorrow:

Katsura Kan teaches Butoh theatre traditions.  His teachings help enable the performer to connect spirit and body (runs through this Friday at Dairy East Theatre).  Also experience Ruth Zaporah's movement & body workshop; "A Splendid Moment".  Learn to share from embodied and imaginative resources while experiencing a fresh view of self (runs through this Sunday at Dairy Perf Space).


                              Jim Walker performing in Bedfellows

Keep in mind, it's never too late to volunteer or become a Fringe Donor -- of your moula, not your organs (we already have your heart,
that's more than enough).

Now, sit back, relax and fasten your seatbelts as the second half of Boulder Fringe ensues; it's gonna be a crrrrazy ride (dare ya to keep your hands in the air the whole way down!).

Eddy wants to know...
FRINGE TRIVIA QUESTION:
What is Eddy the Eskimo's trademark response when he enjoys something happening during the Daily C.R.A.B.?

Bring your answer to tonight's Daily C.R.A.B. with Eddy the Eskimo at Fringe Central - A.K.A. the Laughing Goat Coffee House at 10:00 PM (it's free!) (it's fun!) (it's absurd!) (you haven't really been to Boulder Fringe until you've been to C.R.A.B!)

P.S. Tonight's C.R.A.B. will also feature interviews with:
Second Skin Theater and Dancing, Shadow's Theater, London, UK "The Hideous Face of Love"
Mary Wohl Haan/HAAN Dances, Boulder Colorado, "Blessed and Broken"
Lee Michael Buckman, NY NY "BAGS, Obsessions of a Hoardaholic"
Jamie Shannon, New York, New York, "...And Dancers"
