Fringe Central, First Check and Hairstyles?



TICKETS available at http://www.burgerboys.com/


Wow. So it's been a crazy week. Lots of Woodsmen and Hipsters.

What can i tell you guys...well...I 've been spending tons of time at Fringe Central(FC) for the Fringe Festival. We have a Minimum Wage booth there and are selling Tix for 50% off ...only $20! It's just during the Fringe Fest so it's a fantastic deal. So we have to staff the booth, man it, and make sure it's pretty. In the course of 3 weeks we've moved the booth 3 times until finding the perfect spot. I have to say thanks to all the SUPER friends and Burgerpals that have helped us. We've had to cover over 150 hours thus far, so it' hasn't been a bunwalk. Fun though.



Here are some shots of the set up a few weeks back and some of our fave fringe friends at FC.Booth Location Numero Uno.

The week was also full of meetings meetings meetings.

Was at Aruba production several times where we met and interviewed a ton of creative types such as lighting designers, Stage Managers, costumers, Set Designers and more for our killer burgerboy theatrico sqaud.

Only one more day of interviews and then it will hopefully be done and we'll be ready to go. WHEW!

While there one day I got to meet Joe Corcoran the gent who brought "Tony & Tina's wedding" to the world. He was very nice and I got to hear the scoop on their secret marketing ideas and such, which were actually pretty cool.

I also got to see the first check from our investor. It made my third testicle drop. It actually had quite an effect on me and we're a tiny show. We don't got tons of bank like other OFF BWAY, We really are a grass roots gang, LEAN AND MEAN... but we got help. And to see and know that someone believes in my brother and my vision so much that they have truly invested in us. Well, it made my week!

And lastly, it's time to start thinking about Orwell's look for the show. Here are the fun hair straightened results. The next question...should I dye it? And should I keep the glasses for the guy? hmmm....




Look our Chris Angel i'm coming for you. I just need news abs and some leather pants!

Ok, so thats it for this week... ORWELL out!
