I’m not going to pretend I don’t have issues with any religion (or interpretation of religion) that tells women they must keep their bodies covered. It is an act of body shaming and subtle oppression meant to make women feel ashamed of their own identity. Even if they want to wear this. In the last few days. However, swimwear is not a s...

Fringe Festival – Day 7 | Grail Diary
https://petsnakereggie.com/2015/08/07/fringe-festival-day-7-2
I am Brian Keene's Favorite Beatnik Poet. August 7, 2015. Fringe Festival – Day 7. Let me tell you what drives me nuts about modern dance. It isn’t the dancing. I love the dancing. It isn’t even the fact most of it is movement for the sake of movement and being a writer, I’m always looking for the story. Personally, though, I prefer a soundtrack that sounds like more than a keyboardist who only knows three chords. I like the interaction of sight. Here’s some notes on the shows I saw Wednesday! He guides ...

I am Brian Keene's Favorite Beatnik Poet. August 12, 2016. 2016 Fringe Reviews – Day 8. I like to play Fringe venue bingo. Basically, I’m trying to watch a show in every Fringe venue (not including any site specific shows). I very rarely manage to pull this off but I enjoy the challenge. Getting to the Uptown and Northeast Minneapolis clusters have required actual effort. I only have one venue left so I think I’m going to fill my bingo card. I feel like there should be a button or something. Trump count ...

Fringe Festival – Day 6 | Grail Diary
https://petsnakereggie.com/2015/08/06/fringe-festival-day-6-2
I am Brian Keene's Favorite Beatnik Poet. August 6, 2015. Fringe Festival – Day 6. As I wrote earlier. I always take a day off of the Fringe Festival. I didn’t see any shows on Tuesday night. Let me write instead about the crucible of criticism that is the Fringe Festival. Because there is nothing like it. Artists love to hate it. Or hate to love it. Amongst a group of people who thrive on validation, however, the Fringe can be an emotional roller coaster. Or maybe that’s just me. The Sound of Music.

Fringe Festival – Day 9 | Grail Diary
https://petsnakereggie.com/2015/08/10/fringe-festival-day-8-2
I am Brian Keene's Favorite Beatnik Poet. August 10, 2015. Fringe Festival – Day 9. One of the frustrating aspect of the Fringe is the way there is a flood of criticism in the first half of the fringe and then almost none in the second half. For my part, I’ve always been lucky if my show was reviewed by one major news outlet. With 174 shows, most of the press seems to divide up their choices rather neatly. Certainly there are some shows that get reviewed by nearly everyone. The choices made in the show I...

https://petsnakereggie.com/2015/08/08/fringe-festival-day-8
I am Brian Keene's Favorite Beatnik Poet. August 8, 2015. Fringe Festival – Day 8. My viewing patterns change as the Fringe draws on. Early, I watch shows by friends because I want to make sure I don’t miss them. I watch shows by popular producers because I don’t want to risk a sell out. Later, I start watching shows that have been recommended by others or I just give something a try because I have an open spot on my schedule and nothing to see. The show is absurd and includes what felt like a few superf...

Fringe Festival – Day 4 | Grail Diary
https://petsnakereggie.com/2015/08/04/fringe-festival-day-4
I am Brian Keene's Favorite Beatnik Poet. August 4, 2015. Fringe Festival – Day 4. Part of my Fringe tradition is to take a night off. When I first began Fringing, I did it. If I didn’t have a show, I was at someone else’s show. I wouldn’t even take breaks before my performance because I had an artist’s pass and I was going to. After a full day of shows, I would go to Fringe central and stay there until 1:00 AM or later. By the end of the festival, I’d be a little burned out. The show focuses on the disa...
