Oh My God! It’s Fringe Week!

Monday, July 28th, 2008 | Plugs, Solo Show Stuff

Happy Monday! 1. I am writing this from inside an Apple store. Surrounding me are iPhones, taunting me and the year that I have remaining on my contract. Should I break contract and dive headfirst into Apple’s sleekly designed cell phone/everything future? Probably not, but I’ve never been accused of being very intelligent.2.  Anyhoo, it’s Fringe week and I am now becoming super excited. Today is filled with re-writes. The show’s actually in pretty good shape, but it could use a nice polish. I sure hope to see you at the fest. My show opens Thursday at 7pm and the Theater(re?) Garage. Mike

Just read the good reviews of your Fringe show Congrats!! That must explain why you did not return dad’s call Sunday…picture him wistfully sighing a message onto your voice mail. He did perk up later however when he and Matt(your brother who had his wisdom teeth pulled Friday)
and Nils (your godson) watched the Cubs come from behind win! I fear all of you are headed for heartbreak. Oh well , more Fringe material I guess , (although I doubt you will run out of material if you continue to perpetuate the myth of your deprived childhood wearing polos and short shorts)!
Love,
Vickie (your mother who loves her empty nest , but thinks you should call your father.)

My Fringe show hasn’t opened yet, Mom.

I’m sorry I didn’t call you this weekend. Crazy busy. I will do so very, very soon.

I was going to write to empathize about the iphone vs. stay in lame-o contract decision (I’m staying in contract I think, bitterly) but then I read your mom’s post. Do you really not know the names of your brother and godson? That’s awesome.
I guess she might be narrating for the rest of us, but she definitely used second person.

Mike No wonder I didn’t make it as a writer, my comment was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek…
I thought I did see good reviews on your solo Fringe show , was that of a preview?? What day do you open and will we be able to pick up the audio?…The whole family is planning to sit around kind of like a ‘fireside’ chat and listen?
