COUPLE OF THINGS…

So if you haven’t noticed, we’ve taken a little time off lately.  FringeFamous blogging will continue to be spotty until mid-July.  We’re gearing up to blast a ropey load of blog all over the MN Fringe Festival’s 32DDs in August.

In the meantime, we’d like you to keep a couple of things on your radar:

1. We’ll again be posting festival postcard images.  You send us a digital copy of your postcard or poster for the upcoming Minnesota Fringe Festival, and we’ll post it on FringeFamous.com for the outrageous price of zero. Why on Earth would we do this? Because 1.) we love the Minnesota Fringe Festival and are excited as hell for it, 2.) we love to see what’s coming up, and 3.) we get quite a few visitors each week…it’s entirely possible that it may help your show!  And we promise not to comment on these. If you send us your show art, we will post it sans snarky comment. Cross our hearts and hope to die. Email your submission to Author@FringeFamous.com. We’ll start posting a week or two before the festival.
2. We’ve been getting some emails asking things like “if I send you the press release for my Fringe show, will you just make fun of it”.  That is a great question.  The answer is “maybe”.  We might think your show looks interesting and post something about how interesting it looks.  We might also think your show looks ‘tarded and post something about how ‘tarded it looks.  If you’re one of those any-press-is-good-press people, then send away!  Heh…I just called what we do “press”.
3. If you haven’t heard, Visi.com (one of the MN Fringe sponsors) is hosting an online video contest.  You create a trailer for your Fringe show, and if yours is the best, you win a fantastic prize worth millions.  They’re dubbing it “the first annual Fringey Awards”.  Hmmmm.  Fringey Awards.  Sounds so familiar…
   
4. Want more to read?  Here’s someone’s list of the top-ranking theatre blogs in the whole wide world.  What?  We’re on it?  Shit.  I didn’t even see that.
