I like to think that I haven’t been closing down Fringe Central every night because I’ve been sick – not because I’m old. Sick and old, maybe. My endurance is down. At the end of three shows, my throat is scratchy and I can cough better than I can talk. I predict a full recovery on, say, Monday.
As we enter the closing weekend, I’m resigned to knowing that I’m just not going to see everything that I wanted to see. I’ve further complicated my life by telling Bob that Interpol is at First Avenue tomorrow night. That was a huge error in judgment. Now I’ve got Interpol tickets AND reservations for Fringe shows.
