The Fringe poster out in the wild

I do apologize for posting about almost nothing except Fringe these days.  I'll see if I can sprinkle in a few other topics, but mostly Fringe is going to be all-consuming for three more weeks, so check in after that if you are looking for a change of pace...

I will be picking up the larger posters and the postcards today from the printer.  We actually have a run with a mis-spelling of my name, which I could live with, and "playright" instead of "playwright," which I couldn't.  But I guess they could become rare collector's items.  If you want to put in a bid for a misprinted poster, just let me know.

I was going to put up a few on the Danforth on my way over to Robarts yesterday morning.  I even bought a mini-stapler from Dollarama, but the darn thing refused to unlatch and swing open.  So frustrating!

After hitting up Robarts, I made an extra stop at Staples on University and found a stapler that will work.  I put up a couple of posters downtown, and then one in Regent Park and two by Riverdale Library.


 
I even put one up on my front gate.  It does look awfully small at this distance, but I thought I would show off that after many years, I finally managed to train the flowers to start crossing (partway at least) over the trellis.


The only other thing of note is that I had to call this IRS this morning to prove my identity.  Nothing's ever smooth with them, but it could have been a lot worse.  I managed to sew up a tear in my shirt sleeve while on hold.  (One of many small tasks that keep getting deferred while I am gearing up for the Fringe...)

P.S. We've jumped from 80 tickets to 100+ tickets.  Maybe joining Instagram helped, or maybe it was the mention in the Stageworthy podcast, or maybe it's just that we are getting closer to the time people make their last-minute picks for Fringe.  Don't be left out!  Tickets here.
