Fringe Festival walk!

The Fringe walk is really coming together. (Sat. July 4, 11 AM, meet outside the Palmerston Library, 2 blocks west of Bloor and Bathurst)

Here are the sites, I'll be covering.
  • Palmerston Library Theatre
  • Honest Ed's
  • Victory Cafe
  • Bathurst Theatre
  • Annex Theatre
  • Central Tech
  • Pauper's Restaurant
  • Bloor Cinema
  • Sonic Boom
  • Lee's Palace
  • Intrepid Travel
  • Ye Olde Brunswick House
  • the former Poor Alex Theatre
  • the TRANSAC club
  • James Joyce Pub
  • Miles Nadal JCC

It will be a mix of building histories, Fringe history and concepts of the Fringe.

I hope you'll be able to join me.

I'm also thinking of doing a follow up on the sites at UofT that the Fringe has used. That would run maybe on Monday the 6th or Tuesday the 7th. Stay tuned!
