[A "+" means there are other shows but this is the one I'm probably going to see.] The nice bit is that most of the stuff I'd really like to see is on the whole Fringe, so I'm not particularly rushed over dates. Apart from the solitary dates. Also the list flounders near the end as my brain kind of started skipping stuff, so I might have to look at the Theatre section again. But I suspect a lot of this Fringe will be attempting to discover new "Must See" talent. Or at least as much Fringe as I can cope with this year. There were a lot of musical acts this Fringe, especially Jazz. I think people are learning that the Fringe may be a worthwhile place to attract an audience. Oh well. ETA the non-Fringe events (in italics) happening over that time too (that I know of currently).

Callahan's reflexes: "Shared pain is lessened; shared joy is increased. Thus we refute entropy." <drains the tea and is about to throw it at the fireplace until he realises it is the best virtual china and sets it down on the saucer undamaged> Speaking of which, I haven't been a rapturist* for a while and probably should do something about that rather soon... <ponders deeply> * A rapturist is someone who commits random acts of senseless kindness.

Oh, is that what they're calling them now, rapturists? I thought they were just called, y'know, One Of Us. *grin*

Meanwhile, knowing what form many of your Ransom Acts of Kindness take has me wondering now whether anyone in the US imports/distributes Haigh's chocolate. Probably not, alas...

[reverancepavane.livejournal.com]

One sensless act of kindness coming up... But that would require you to provide the aforementioned ransom first. Namely, a snail mail address.

[shadow-5tails.livejournal.com]

*facepalm* I shouldn't have said anything, should I?

Dearone, that certainly wasn't a demand, or even a request, and I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be treated as such. I appreciate the thought a great deal, but if nothing else, it kinda undermines the 'random' part...

[reverancepavane.livejournal.com]

The randomness is in suddenly deciding to give out chocolate. The senseless part means that any argument against my doing so is specious and shall be automatically ignored. Although that being said, I tend to stop giving out chocolate when people start expecting it of me. So I definitely didn't take a vague wandering thought of the need for delicious rich and pepperminty Haighs chocolate frogs to be sent across the oceans to make your durance a little less vile to be an actual demand. So, where to? There's a frog with your name on it waiting to hop across the pond.

[shadow-5tails.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not sure I can argue with that.

Or rather, I can, but then we'll go back and forth a lot and still not manage to convince each other. So if you're going to be so kind to me, it seems at this point that I should accept that with good grace. *grin*

And thank you.
