Toronto Fringe Day 10 - I am a moron & video of silly questions

Being nice is always a good thing. Remember my empathy for Lorne Hiro and his disorientation, just a few blogs ago? It stands me in good stead as I did the EXACT same thing last night. I got the venue right but the time wrong. And there was a comp waiting for me. The height of shame. The producer was so nice about it he offered me ANOTHER comp. But no, I shall attend on my own dollar.

Thank God, I don't have much more editing to do because my building is shutting down the A/C for four to six hours today to repair the thing which, as far as I can tell, works perfectly well. Off to the theata' I go.

As the festival is winding down, I've come up with silly questions for Fringe artists to answer in the vid below. These little "segments" can be awfully annoying at times, but here, I'm glad to say I got answers far more insightful than the questions deserved. I am grateful to all who participated in this.

Toronto Fringe Day 8 - melting highways and "Being at Home with Claude"

Lorne Hiro, producer and actor for Being at Home with Claude said he meant to come and see our show (The Aquarium) a couple of days ago but the heat disoriented him and he wound up on the wrong side of town.

We all promise to see each other's show at the Fringe knowing that will not be possible, but I believe Lorne's story. It's been so hot, a section of the 401 was shut down because it was melting. The last few days, it's been 50 degrees in the sun in Toronto.

Still, our fearless audiences abound and the artists are eager to put on a good show no matter what. You detect Lorne's passion and commitment as he talks about Being at Home with Claude below:
