So the fringe is going pretty good. I'm pretty sure I got heat exhaustion and slept most through the day sunday. Today was another FREAKIN hot day, 42 degrees Celcius! It's hard to imagine that it get to -40 when I'm sweating away. We are making some money. Not a lot. But enough to cover the cost of the tent and maybe each make a 100$ some dollars at the end of the week. Kids in Vietnam are currently doing better wages than I am, working in probably the same heat. 
Oh CHild labour humour. We got rained out today so we ran it about 9 times instead of I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY I LOST COUNT! Acting it over and over again is not as tedious as it sounds, it's getting people to watch it. People will spend money on crap and way more for less rather than checking out our 10 minute play for a minimum of 2$. Once we get the people watching it's great but good god, to get them to that point is painful. I really don't understand it either! They are there already! Just sit down for the love of cheese.
So I don't think I'm doing this for the love of art but more for the sake of insanity

Pearl and I went to Kow yesterday (at 9:15pm so the show did its last 2.5 songs in the rain) and I was kinda impressed by both the giant crowd and how many people were putting change into the hats or nothing at all...
I guess fringe done cheap is good for those who actually have more money but I strongly suspect there are just a lot of people who don't like paying for entertainment.
