But come on! An unlimited pass?! My Fringe viewing has always been limited only by my bank account. Now there are no limits. Physical exhaustion? Hunger? Sleep? These are things that happen to other people.
If I were clever, this is where I would insert a song about you a la the Budweiser commercials where I refer to you as Mr. Fringe Festival Over-Extender. But I'm not. So I won't.
(Reeeeeeaaal Men of Genius!) Today we salute you, Mr. Fringe Festival Over-Extender (Mr. Fringe Festival Over-Exteeeeeeender!) Some would be content seeing 3, or 5, or even 10 fringe shows. But that's theatrical chump change to you. (That's not enough shows!) You don't count the number of Fringe shows you're seeing, You count the number of hours still open to fill during this 10 day theatrical gauntlet. (Only 3 spots left!) Concerns about food, exhaustion, or the quality of a show are as foreign to you as that One Man Bulgarian Dance/Puppetry Show you just suffered through. (What the hell was that about?) So crack open an ice cold Bud Light, O Theater-Attender-On-A-Bender, because if there's a fringe show not worth seeing we'll know just where to find you. (Mr. Fringe Festival Over-Exteeeeeeender!)
I did not see Urban Samurai's Livelihood on your schedule. I'm sure this is a simple oversight, so if it is corrected immediately, I will not take corrective action.

At least I don't have to worry about being IN a Fringe show.
