Dear Reader,
So much fun stuff has been going on that this blog is crying out for an update!
Well, to start with the deliciously obvious, the Fringe has really got going. This is most of our first times here and WE'RE LOVING IT. Please appreciate my Caps Lock there! The Royal Mile is electric, with all the usual barriers to conversation with random strangers broken down - there are seldom any random strangers at the Fringe, as everyone seems to be here for the same reason. Even among 2000 shows we feel at home: Ollo (Charlie) is 'Reindeer boy' with his own coterie of enthusiastic fans - have you seen him? Think of the reindeer.
Sunday kicked it all off, with the immense Fringe launch party. Did you spot us in our red tees? We loved the red spread - since we matched so brilliantly - (and the rain) and the acts were great. Some of our crew are happy to admit having fallen in love with Tom Thumb. You know who you are, Sha! Also we loved the guys from Hairline mag - check out their great website: www.hairline.org.uk - it's a vvv nifty, informed and unaffiliated guide (with a super duper orange colour scheme). And Simon Nevill who's writing a great blog for the Evening News site (tap in Fringe Benefits into their internal search feature) and starring in Guilds, which we reckon looks like a jolly bally laugh. Ultimately we loved the free drinks too. That had to be said!
Well more anon. Have a fringetastic evening.

Edinburgh's Bacon Butty Solution
Dear Reader,
We've cracked it! There has been a major breakthrough in Fringe technology.
For the eternal problem of what to do before Midday in this finest of cities, is SOLVED, yes SOLVED!!! Reader, you may like to know that before this discovery was made, finding and munching your bacon butty, or any sort of breakfast fare, was an activity utterly lacking in cultural stimulation.
However, in August 2007, teams of scientists have conducted extensive tests and found that the answer is breathtakingly simple: come to Monsters @ Underbelly @ 11.15am.
They suggested in their report, published today, that it was time-efficient and beneficial for mental health to mainline your entertainment in the morning as well as after the sun had gone over the yard arm. Moreover, they found that bacon butties tasted even better when combined with Christmas cheer and icky gore, which Monsters provides in ample quantities.
All I can say, dear reader, is this: give a thought to your wellbeing as the Fringe goes on crazily about you, and come to Monsters with your breakfast.
