I have a choice: do I take the first three days of Fringe Week off, the middle three, or the last three? I know opening weekend, the last weekend and Memorial Day will be action-packed, but I also don’t want to lose too much money from work.
Blogging Fringe (or this year, my personal blog and […]

Where does one begin? I often find that when writing these theatre reviews, it’s a good idea to gather my thoughts, think about what I want to say and in what order; I don’t have time for that, I’m going back to see the last showing in an hour!

Chris Zabriskie is a good friend of mine, and a damn fine filmmaker. This month, he put together a little video with some amazing stuff from the hit TV show LOST.

My Friends,
As you all know, I’ve done this Blogging Fringe thing for the past two years. Sadly, this year looks like I’ll be pulled in more directions than ever before. I’ve been up until 2AM every night for weeks on end and I’m not sure when this will stop.

What would you use as the Florida Creatives secret handshake? Record something and post it in the comments!

BarCamp Orlando is a weekend for all types of creative folks to come together and share with each other.
