Is There Anybody Out There?

Anyone who might be reading this, thinking, gee, this site hasn't been updated in a while --- look further down! I have been filling in bits of Jasper as I can.

Edmonton proved impossible for logging - Tim, Trevor and I would check our email quickly in the mornings and then drag our sorry fringe weary asses out to meet the day, which often included hours of flyering, and seeing TONS of shows. Performers on the circuit would have a password system whereby they would put their available comps for every show under one name which you would pass on to anyone else traveling who wanted to see your show. They in turn would give you their password. Promotes solidarity on the circuit; the sharing of information, feedback, and promoting community. Good system. And both the good news and the bad news is that you see SO MANY shows...

Anyway, Trevor's place was too far to go back and forth easily, so I would usually stay on fringe site until I was ready to go home - which some days was as early as 10 PM! But most days, wasn't. And by the time I got home I was too exhausted to do anything but raid the fridge for cheese and crackers and raw cookie dough, and stay up another hour or two talking to whoever else was home, and then pass out either in Trevor's room or the air mattress in the living room. Tim and I traded back and forth quite a bit. After all, Trevor's bed was soft and warm compared to the heat-conductivity-impaired air mattress in the living room, but you did get it all to yourself. Not that Trevor wasn't a generous bed sharer, but still, it's nice to have all that room to yourself. If you can stand the chilly, weirdly wobbly air mattress.

So ANYWAY look below for adventures in the mountains!
