June 19 Update

Here’s a little update from all of us at the Fringe Team to all of you in Fringe land. Don’t hesitate to stop by Fringe Central anytime…we pretty much sleep there, so someone should be there to assist you.

Happy Fringing!

REVIEWS
We have made a few changes to how paneling for the Fringe works, including (controversial) anonymous reviews, automatic approval, and a published list of panelists. Read more…

FRINGE CENTRAL
For those of you who’d like a place to hang out where the beer flows freely and the laughs go on to the wee hours of the evening, stop by Fringe Central at 1625 N Las Palmas (entrance on Las Palmas, walk around to the West side of the building). We have a bar/cafe and lots of cheer and with a $5 Fringe Card, you can drink for the duration of the Fringe for $2 a beer.

Let me repeat that: $2 per beer! You cannot find a better deal in Los Angeles anywhere.

FRINGE JAMES hosted by THE BRITISH INVASION
At 11:30pm every night through the 23rd, we are hosting the FRINGE JAMS hosted by our friends across the pond with the British Invasion. Have a bit of your show you’d like to stage in front of a well-lubricated audience? Stop by the Fringe Jam (free & no reservation required) and laugh it up. You can come and leave as you please – talk to some new friends, do a piece from your show, and have a few drinks. New at the bar today: Delicious sangria. nice.

VISIBILITY STAGING
Thanks to everyone who came out today. We set up a little impromptu faire in the Egyptian Courtyard to draw in families and tourists passing by. From this point forward, show up anytime during the following slots (no reservation needed) and promote your show. Feel free to bring set pieces, costumed actors, dance performances – come anytime and do anything. The Egyptian Courtyard is located directly east of the intersection of Hollywood and Las Palmas on the south side of Hollywood blvd.

We have the space during these slots:

• 1pm to 7:30pm June 20;
• 2pm to 7:30pm 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25
• 11am to 7pm June 26
• 2pm to 5pm June 27

CORRESPONDENCE
We have posted our first correspondence video. Check out your fellow participants in interview mode.

T-SHIRTS
Supplies are very limited and they are going fast. There won’t be another chance to own the 2010 official Fringe T-shirt available at Fringe Central (1625 N Las Palmas). Want to buy a bunch for your cast? Buy 9 and get number 10 for free.
