Tidemark
Edinburgh Fringe Experience 2004
Sunday 15 August 2004
The
second Sunday of the Fringe is always known as Fringe Sunday, and
a huge array of activities are scheduled to take place in the Meadows,
just a short walk from the Royal Mile, including live performances,
a fun fair and numerous stalls selling anything from fudge to ponchos.
Bush
and Bin Laden are here again as is the giant condom, a troupe of
befeathered dancers and forty-eight assorted jugglers.
The
Meadows are simply heaving with people and it's a really good opportunity
for companies to leaflet their shows.
Tidemark
has a three line whip and everyone from the company turns out bedecked
in turquoise tie-dye to try to entice audiences in.
Unfortunately,
everyone else has the same idea and there seem to be more people
leafleting than those available to be leafleted at one stage.
There's
a real carnival atmosphere, the ice-cream sellers are making their
millions and I see around eight people go into the St Andrews first
aid caravan in the space of 15 minutes to get treatment for bee
or wasp stings. (Gods way of telling us to stop eating ice cream).
After
a few hours hard leafleting, during which time we collectively give
out around two thousand leaflets, the sky darkens and the heavens
open again. Oh the joys of a Scottish summer!
