Day 2 of the Psychedelic Fringe Festival!

I wandered around the Fringe all day and took in 4 plays: Miss Julie (Venue 4), Coffee (Venue 4), Secrets of My Wanton's Love (Venue 3), and What Remains (Venue 11). I had auditioned for all of these plays except for Coffee. I ran into Brent Hirose outside the venue after Miss Julie and I asked him how Illuminati was going, because I knew he was in it. It turns out he also co-wrote and co-directed another play, Coffee, which was on in less than an hour. I decided to check it out and I'm glad I did, because it was very funny and entertaining. I met Brent at Asian Idol this year, and both of us are also in FemFest in October. Secrets of My Wanton's Love stars one of my FemFest castmates Lorraine James, as well as Keri-Lee Smith, with whom I went to high school. Dan Kern, who just seems to pop up wherever I go now, was one of the actors in What Remains.

I love Fringing by myself. I feel so content, and everyone around me is always in good spirits.

I ran into one of my acting teachers Lisa Martin, who is the star of Fat Tuesday. When I auditioned for Fat Tuesday the director saw Lisa's name on my resume and mentioned that Lisa had auditioned for her the day before. Right then I knew that Lisa would get the part of the main character, because she would be perfect for it. She spotted me from far away today and scurried up to me saying, "Hey baby, want some beads?" LOL I love Lisa...she's just so darn cute and blonde and adorable and bubbly.

I've seen 5 plays already...my Frequent Fringer card is going to be all punched out very soon! But I'm going crazy now because I'm leaving for Chicago on Tuesday or Wednesday. For me, it's probably the worst time in the summer to leave, but I have no choice! I pretty much have my Fringe schedule all planned out for the next 4 days!
