I am now consumed with my consumption. With trying to feed myself, find work and a place to live in NY ( and finding Wifi) , writing my restaurant reviews are a bit of a challenge. But i will be writing them; a little bit of patience is required right now. THe New York Fringe festival, the fest of independent theatre, has now begun and it has been 7 years that i have wanted to come and watch shows and possibly cover it. and here i am. It is all very exciting except for the fact that i still owe bbq 12$ and do not have a job. A cop car was parked just a block away from fringe central; that is less exciting.
I just saw Dominizuelan: People in the City, performed by Wendy Mateo and Lorena Diaz. They refer to themselves as the short hispanic and the tall hispanic ( for those of you politicos, it would be latina). Very funny women; very full of energy and great performances. Character sketches set in different scenes ( Drunk ciub girls, homeless man and broke mortgage broker, jewish women at the restaurant, bro,). I loved it and so did the audience. There was much laughter in the room. In between the scenes, there were dancing musical interludes which were entertaining.
After the show,a guy came up to me and asked if i was an actress. No,i said i was a blogger and volunteer and said i loved the show and i asked him what he did and he said he managed them and that they had worked 3 years on it and were doing improv olympics in Chicago (which is where they are from) and where some SNL alumni worked (Mike Myers and Tina Fey and the new guy on snl). Indeed they made me think of snl. I asked him what his name was and he said matt and again i said i loved it and left.
