Anyway... I took the step that I never expected to for this upcoming Fringe. I submitted an application to produce a show. The deadline was this past Friday. Once all the applications were in, it seems that the Fringe office staff compiled a list of the producers, assigned us each a number, and then started to prepare for the upcoming Lottery to assign slots in the next festival. It is my understanding that there are 140 slots this upcoming year. There are a good number of companies vying for those spots... Let's just say that the number I've been assigned for the lottery is 190, and there are many, many more on the list after me.
I think the lottery is a great thing. The fact that the thing is truly random reminds me a lot of how some guy decided which shows to see this past summer.
Well, cross your fingers for me. If you want to send some positive energy my way on Monday night, visualize the number 190 for me.
Well... Time for the random bits of information:
- I just started my second term of grad school. Somehow I managed to get all A's in the first term! That's the first time that's happened to me since 5th grade... consider me completely blown away!
- I honestly think that the title "Minute Maid" is misleading. Even the instant kind takes me more than a minute to make, and I have a hard time believing that the non-instant juices that they sell under that name took only a minute to process.
- The Vikings lost today, and I don't feel at all sad for them. In fact, I'm surprised they made it this far into the playoffs.
- Random fact from www.hookedonfacts.com: "If you put a T-Bone steak in a bowl of Coca - Cola Syrup, it will dissolve in 2 to 3 days. " -- Jumpin' Jesus on a Pogo Stick! There is no way I'm ever drinking another glass of Coca-Cola... That just scares me!
