View from Burin cafe onto the Cres harbour

We’ve seen seven plays at the Fringe this year:

Tippi Seagram’s Happy Hour
Three Sisters: A Black Opera in Three Acts
Radio Collar
Timmy’s Sexual Adventures
Cougars
HIP-HOP 4 DUMMEEZ
Felix Listens to the World

They were all very good. Timmy’s Sexual Adventures perhaps being the favourite (though it was the play that we’ve seen last so it had the advantage). Volunteering was fun too. I just might do it next year again.

There are many plays that I still want to see, but I’m skippin’ town tomorrow so this is it for the summer. Local culture is so much fun.

You know how I’ve said that there will be no more Japan photos posted? Well, I was wrong. Chris set us up a Flickr account and posted _all_ the Japan photos. Knock yourself out.

To see all the posts about the Japan trip, please check out the archives (May and April). I’ll be getting back to regular span of post topics for the next post.
