June 25 Update

Two days left! Just a brief update tonight as the olde bones are a wee bit tired and all of Fringe Central seems dead set against letting me write this thing. I am normally an 8 hour sleep sorta guy, clearly this conservative schedule is on hold during Fringe time. I am sure we are all in the same boat in this respect – there will surely be time to sleep on Monday.

So here’s some updates on the news to know…

THE AWARD BALLOTS
Ok, folks…no more changes in how we are jurying this thing. Those of you who have received ballots now have them in your inbox. There are directions there on what you need to do and when you need to do it. We need your ballots locked down by Sunday at noon. You can start now, and update later…so don’t feel you need to make final decisions until Sunday. Also note that you don’t need to vote in every category so feel free leave some of them blank.

Think you didn’t receive a ballot and deserve one? Send an email to support and we will help clear it up.

THE CLOSING NIGHT PARTY
The closing night party will be happening at 9pm at Fringe Central. There aren’t going to be people hanging from the ceiling or taking their clothes off to seductive music (well, at least not on stage) this time – rather it’s going to be a gathering of new friends for one final goodbye before we meet again next year. As this is the last time many of us will see our out-of-town visitors before this is all over, I hope all of you can make it. There will be no cover charge, and the bar will continue to serve it’s ruinously cheap alcohol. We plan to go very late in the night to make the final moments count, so jot it down on your calendar now.

Ok, not so much poetry in this one…some days, you need to write in prose. Especially when you have stand up comedians behind you repeating everything you write in a funny voice.
