One of the lovely writers from blogTO was meant to come to see 87% True on Friday, but a crisis (Mercury is in retrograde, people) prevented her from seeing what turned out to be a crap-tastic, slide-projector-less, Chris-and-Rose-like-deer-in-headlights-with-disorders-of-the-central-nervous-system show. So, you know, ha ha . . . that all worked out.
Instead, she posted a great write-up about our blog over on blogTO. Thanks, Katherine!
One of the joys of blogging the Fringe is being able to link to other bloggers who've posted their hilarious (mis)adventures about coming to our show.
The lovely and fabulous Lex had a little trouble making it to opening night but DID manage to catch the show on Friday, or, as we refer to it, The Day The Projector Died And All Our Worst Fears Were Realized. She also managed to surreptitiously snap this photo, because she is gifted.
The fabulous and lovely Heather brought her feller Dave to our opening night and posted a terrific account of their date and our historic IN REAL LIFE meeting. My favourite collection of exclamation points: "The money goes to the artists! It's funny! You'll be cool! They serve beer afterward!"
It's all true.
Slurpee count = 30
Well, I have no fancy blog to spread the word, but I wanted to spout about how funny the show was. Favourite moment: "A place to rest my weary... arse." Or the use of the word "dickweed". No wait, the butter churning. Yes. Awesome job, y'all.

Saw the show on Saturday night with bf (the nice one) and good friend visiting from Ottawa. Despite the fact we all had long days - me in the sun for 10+ hours at the Outdoor Art Exhibit - we all stayed awake! AND, laughed... a lot... at your show.
Congrats Rose & Chris on what is sure to be a fantastic summer-long run of 87% True.
Favourite thing about the show... the bear's head. My family sure could use one to confide in.
Thanks for making us laugh and laugh. You guys rock!

Thanks, TEM and Refinnej! It is a tough call between "dickweed" and the churning. I know "dickweed" is my favourite, but only 'cause I get to say it. HA ha!
