More Mischief

Permalink 04:40:00 pm, Categories: News  

Regular readers know how I feel about the Fringe Society. They think they are "The Fringe" and are doing the shows/acts a favor by deigning to imbue them -- for a fee -- with legitimacy.

In reality, the shows and acts are the Fringe and the society is just a collective back office to assist us. We imbue them with legitimacy.

As I've said, we would exist without them, but they wouldn't exist without us. (And as I overheard the head of the International Festival say last year, basically, the only thing the head of the Fringe runs is a box office.)

Anyway, for reasons I may address in more detail at another time, my free Counting House show won't be in the printed programme this year, so I haven't paid the steep (especially in American money) fee charged by the Fringe.

My inclination is to use their logo on my materials anyway. (What can they do to me?)

I imagine there is nothing they could do to you, this year at least. That said might you be creating problems for Laughing Horse and guaranteeing you absence from the program in the future? Was it just a timing issue or are they after fees from last year? You're bound to get a fair bit of walk-in business at that venue anyway so hopefully it won't have too detrimental an effect.

As far as future repercussions, they couldn't do anything to anyone but me (if that).

No monies were owed from other years but it was also not merely a matter of timing. (There's s factor I will likely address soon, which was not primarily the Fringe's fault.)

You're right about business. I think the show will do well.

Thanks for the comment.

If the Chortle blogs vanish at the end of the month as scheduled, you can continue reading this blog at http://ajl.blogspot.com. (You can shift there now but, for some reason, I can't make a link out of this, so you'll have to cut and paste.)

Facebook friends can find the blog there. (It's at MySpace as well.)

The RSS feed is here: http://blog.myspace.com/blog/rss.cfm?friendID=73386291 And Atom here (Can't make a link out of this one either.): http://ajl.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

Thanks to all who've followed my (mis)adventures. I hope you'll join me in those to come.
