Thursday, again!

Happy Thursday! We have our third performance tonight. Back in the mix!

Fruitcake - Ten Commandments From the Psych Ward was on the Fringe menu for us yesterday. Very yummy! Rob Gee is the creator/writer/performer and is a self-styled stand-up poet. He has won several competitions and it's very easy to see why. Fruitcake is a little slice of the people he met working as a nurse on psych wards in England, Scotland and Australia. Very funny!

We also saw A Streetcar Named Desire at the Guthrie (I mean, it's here, I'm here, why not?) I wouldn't say it was the best production of Streetcar (not to say it wasn't gorgeous and the accent work wasn't good and the scenic and lighting design weren't top-notch - they all were, but it was missing.....something), but last night I saw the best Blanche (Gretchen Egolf) and Stella (Stacia Rice) I've ever scene. For the first time, Blanche felt like a real person to me and Stella was so well done, that this was the first time watching I felt passionate enough about her choices that I wanted to get up on stage and shake her!

After the show, we went to Pizza Luce - a local chain. It had mixed reviews on the internets, but I enjoyed the pizza very much. Josh said it was better than Dewey's. Very trendy atmosphere and the waiter was on top of things. Our friend Brion says that Punch Pizza is better and we are going to meet him there for lunch tomorrow.

Sorry for the bland entry. Josh wasn't feeling well yesterday and we felt it would be better to take it easy. Maybe we'll have more exciting news for you tomorrow....
