It's been an eventful summer, right-brain wise. A bunch
of music performances, a slew of cultural inhalations. And a bunch o'
blogging... but not here.
I was one of nine official bloggers for the Minnesota Fringe Festival in
August. My beat was music at the Fringe. I attended 35 hour-long theater,
dance, and musical performances in 10 days, and wrote about my experiences,
under the title "In Search of the Fringe Heartbeat".
Here's the short story of what the Fringe is, taken from the web site
Minnesota Fringe Festival FAQs:
Q. What is Fringe?
A. Minnesota Fringe Festival is an annual ten-day festival of live stage
performance and visual arts, including theater, dance and performance art,
puppetry, spoken word, storytelling and more. In 2004, there are 176
different performing arts companies and individual artists in 21 venues
staging about 900 different performances! Plus 17 visual artists in five
different exhibitions. Whew. (Minnesota's, by the way, is the largest
Fringe in the United States.)

So, yes, I have been enmeshed in music, and talking about music, and now I
want to get back to doing the same thing here at MusiciansConnected.
I've experimented with the cool MC site builder in the last few days, and
have put up the beginnings of a site. Check it out (the gallery's full,
anyway) at
Bass Clarinet on Parade .
See ya online!
