Fringe 2009 - Thursday night

We got off to what seemed like a fast start with 3 shows on the first night, but none of them were great. Even the one I liked the best suffered by comparison with the same company's show last year. Hoping for a little better luck tonight.

One thing that did get the season off to a good start was running into minnehahaK at the first show of the night. We had already brought along my friend Trisha to make use of the special Ultrapass power to get a friend in free on the first 2 days of Fringe. So the four of us joined forces and made it to 3 shows. Trisha is joining us again tonight, and I hope I run into other friends.
