Francophone Fringe

Attended Spiral Dive: Episode One on Marie-Anne Gaboury at La Cite Francophone. Nice venue!! The show was terrific, artful, skillful. Deserves all it’s stars, and I look forward to Episode Two on Sunday. Because of time, was not able to walk to La Cite Francophone, but did manage to get my daily walk in. Did…

Frowning Fringe

Yesterday, the walk was a short one, but a walk nonetheless. Went to the Yardbird Suite to see Manners for Men at the Fringe. One word: Depressing. Suited my mood though – was down in the dumps yesterday. Today I expect to get in a happier place as I am seeking out narcotics to dull…

Phenomenal Phringe!

Last night’s walk got Michael into a seat (I should say seats, lest you think I sat on his lap the entire time) at the lovely Varscona to see The Oculist’s Holiday by Stewart Lemoine. What a show! Michael and I had no preconceived idea what the story was about, but both of us for…

Fringe Frange Frunge

Same 12 block walk around the neighbourhood, with a pit stop at Holy Trinity for the show A Final Whimsy. No stops tonight at the beer garden. Went to the show on me own, and was pleasantly surprised to find my hubby waiting for me outside when the show was over. We completed the walk…

Fine Fringe!

Sunday’s walk was once again through the neighbourhood. It was a longish walk, with three distinct pit stops. Pit stop 1: Holy Trinity Anglican Church to watch the Fringe show: John Denver: Rocky Mountain Memories. This is my third SWAK production, and the third time I’ve become a fan of a group I was indifferent…

Fabbo Fringe

Strolled through Fringe enroute to coffee. Had to stroll, it was a madhouse of humanity. Wandered along 82 Ave on the way home, stopped for cupcakes for tea, and candy to rot our teeth. A nice walk. The challenge today is attending a Fringe show at 10:30 p.m. I am usually asleep on the couch…

Fantastic Fringe

Took the 12 block walk, but added a loop through the Fringe to buy a green onion cake to share as our appetizer before dinner. Although a coolish night, the Fringe appeared to be well attended. The green onion cake was delicious.

Fringe!

Walked to Fringe. Watched the parade and all the crazy characters. Collected a handful of pamphlets. Had a beer, listened to intoxicated performers singing songs that they only knew the first few lines of, saw some transvestites that look a million times better than me in a dress, and then walked home. LOVE FRINGE!

Commute Home

Took the 5 km direct route home. Involves steep hills and traffic, a bridge, and then a beautiful walk through the river valley and climb out up hills and stairs. Takes about 45 minutes, and is a perfect way to end the day.
