A day off

Day five. Wow, the second show kicked some serious ass last night! We had another full house, and the place was rocking with laughter, which is exactly what we wanted. We didn't get any reviews from the first show, but with several more press people there last night maybe maybe maybe this one will yield something.

Today is a day off and we're doing the tourist thing. Condi started the day with a nice run in Prospect Park and then told (didn't ask -- flat out commanded) me to take a "typical tourist photo" of her at the statue of Marquis de Lafayette. (She keeps telling us she wants us to think of her as "just plain old Condi" but the truth is, she's the biggest snob in the cast. Don't tell her I said that. She may be pretty, but she's cruel!)

Some of the other puppets have
elected to spend the day getting caught up on their sleep after carousing way too late last night. We won't mention any names, but the ringleader's name starts with DUBYA. And I won't go any further, but I did want to mention that Pat Robertson's halo seems to have come off some time during the night.

While the puppets are snoozing, the puppeteers will be attending Broadway shows, visiting museums, doing laundry and attending other FringeNYC performances.

Chris, Ben and the crew! So glad to hear things are rockin' there in NYC. The folks at BME/UT are thinking about you guys everyday! Maggie said tonight she'd love to be a grain of rice stuck on Condi's side, watching the show! I agree completely! Enjoy every day and knock 'em over! Cindy Z.
