OPENING!

So today we opened our first show!  We had 128 people in the audience, which while not seeming alot because our venue holds 600 and is capable of 1200 it is alot for the Fringe festival!  The Fringe Society actually says that the average number of people in the audiences is 2-5 people, with MANY shows that perform to no one at all... because there are over 1200 shows performing a day, and over 43,000 shows in total over the month, so there are only so many audience members, so 128 on our first show is not too bad!!  :)  After the show, my parents got here! Despite their tvs not working on the plane they made it just great!  We were all able to go to the opening night party for dinner and to talk to them in person which was really cool and then tonight we went to a VIP bar on the top floor of one of the venues!  We had a great time just talking to the Stage Manager and the International Festivals and Events Planner for the company.  Then as we were sitting by talking all the sudden in walks Caroline Rhea from Sabrina the Teenage Witch!!  She is performing here as one of the MANY MANY stand up comedians.  Anyways,  a good day all around, nothing crazy exciting to report besides the normal amazement of the European city.  As Leslie the Festival Planner told us today, the seed is planted you are going to want to travel everywhere now!  Ugh oh.... I think she is right! I LOVE IT HERE!

More to come soon!
