Many dedicated Fringe staff, volunteers and followers gathered at the box office on Thursday evening for a press conference (a first for the Capital Fringe Fest.) It reached an explosive climax when a marching band emerged, blaring, from the basement. Everyone followed them in a grand (and rather damp) parade up 7th Street, with horns and drums and fire-twirling acrobats.
Arriving at Avenue night club, the parade encountered a rock band playing on the sidewalk & more fire twirlers. When the flames had died down, everyone finally headed into the air-conditioned comfort of the club, where performers from many Fringe productions entertained us on all three floors, and everyone seemed to be busy recruiting an audience for their own particular show.
