Last night we went to Boulder to see part of the C.U. Fringe Festival. It was billed as a vaudeville, and that's right up bfg's alley. We got there about 9:45 (it started at 10:00) and caught the last 15 minutes of some performance that was really funny--some kind of play using Ace of Bass songs to help tell the story. Both of us wished we had known it was there before the vaudeville--we'd have gone up to see that too. Anyway.... the vaudeville show was great. All college kids or local Boulder talent ("Jon D'Arke--accordian playing gypsy") and they were very entertaining. The "house band" was four guys (college-aged, I think). The mc played the ukulele, one guy played the clarinet, one the drums and marimba, and the other the tuba. They were also great. There was a magician, jitterbug dancing (The CU Jitter Buffers) belly dancing, burlesque, songs, just for starters. We had to leave at 11:40 because we were in a parking lot that closed at midnight, and we almost just moved the car and went back but for one thing it was a good 10 min walk to the car , but the clincher was that the performance hall doors locked behind us as we left and we wouldn't have been able to get back in. The Festival was billed as "20 Acts in 3 Days"---I wish we'd know what else was going on. Bfg just saw a poster yesterday when he was up there for his voice lesson.
