Many thanks to the following:

Peter Shortridge: Without your generosity, we wouldn't be here right now. We can never thank you enough.

Theatre du Mississippi: Thanks for helping Peter to help us. We owe you.

Bridget at the Fringe office: We never expected so much help from the Fringe office. You made the whole process 10,000 times smoother than any other Fringe we looked at this summer.

Erin Klee: Stage manager extraordinaire, Toronto expert, and American ex-pat. We never would have found the Surplus store or the nude beach or any number of other cool things in the city without you. Thanks for spending part of your summer with us, and we expect to see you in Minneapolis sometime in the future.

Casssandra: Our wonderful box office manager. You were given one of the most difficult BYO Venues, and you handled it wonderfully. (Also, you're cute as a button, and that counts for something, too.) Thanks for putting off your nightly count so that you could watch the show.

Cathy Hughes, and all the lifeguards at the Athletic Centre: Your venue was amazing, and you gave us so much more than we asked or paid for. You let us come in early, shut off the pool pumps, and even lowered the water lower just to help us out. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Kaji and Olia: Our first Toronto friends! Kaji, the first Glaswegian I ever met that I could understand, and Olia, born in Ukraine and most recently of California, you were both enjoyed immensely. Good luck with the new apartment together, and thanks for coming to the show.


Ted and Elizabeth of Evidance on CIUT: Thanks for the radio interview. I'm glad that you guys liked the show.

John Kaplan of Now Magazine: Thanks for the interview and the preview in your publication. Sorry that you couldn't be the one to actually review our show for Now.

Frank and Danielle from CBC Radio: Thanks for the second radio interview. We never actually caught it on CBC, but several audience members heard it and came because of it.

Gord and Moses: Your debate over the usefulness of pi was something I never expected to see at Fringe Central. You're both fascinating people. More thanks to Klee for bringing you along to the show.

Heidi, Ken and the rest of the Diamond Way Buddhists of Toronto: If only every person in the world were as kind and supportive as you guys... Heidi, thanks for your guided tour of Kensington Market. Ken, thanks for showing us a great place for brunch. And thanks to the rest for making that night at the Rower's Pub so enjoyable.

Raymond: Thanks for not kicking Alia out of her second coffee shop of the day, and thanks for giving her the low-down on Toronto. Also thanks for plugging our show at the Jewish Centre.

Ewan: Thanks for bringing a book of Keats to a bar. That was cool.

Ryan Paulsen of Pentecostal Wisconsin: Thanks for teaching us the true meaning of "oh."

Jimmy Hogg of Curriculum Vitae: Aside from being a fantastically funny man, you were the first of our fellow performers to plug our show at your own show. We tried to return the favor. Also, we learned a hell of a lot about how to flyer properly by studying your tireless technique. We look forward to seeing you at our home Fringe again soon.

Clare and Dan of Die Roten Punkte: Your comedy/punk rock show not only kicks ass, but also made us laugh for the entire week after we saw it. We still quote it and sing the songs. After you develop your new show in Australia, swing on out to Minneapolis. We'll have the city plastered with posters ahead of time, should you decide to come.

The entire cast of Yabu No Naka: Thank you so much for performing the most beautiful and interesting show at the Festival, and for having the balls to produce a Butoh play in 4 different languages at a festival dominated by sketch comedy and musicals. You guys rock, and the above offer to Die Roten Punkte stands for you as well.

Terry: Round as a beach ball and gay as Pride Week in San Francisco, you regailed us with stories about Soho in the 1960s that may very well have been lies. Even though we grew annoyed with the fact that you would not stop talking to us as we tried to sunbathe at the nude beach, we all had to agree that you were a character that we could never forget. We hope you get to swim back in Syracuse.

That wonderful family from Tennessee: You came up from the south for a family reunion in Detroit, and decided on a whim to swing up to Toronto with your sons in tow just for the Fringe Festival. That is the most amazing parenting I have ever seen. We hope you enjoyed the show.

Grossman's Tavern: Thanks for being just about everything a blues bar should be: a slightly dingy hole-in-the-wall with surprisingly great music.

Paige and the band playing at Grossman's: When you sat down you looked like a couple of frat guys about to break into covers of Jack Johnson tunes. Turns out, you're pretty damn good bluesmen. Kudos to your drummer for playing with a broken arm (and for smiling continuously at Klee).

Leslie from Two Figs for Don Quixote...: Thanks for the hula-hooping and the One-Less-Car stickers.

The dancers of Found and Lost: Thanks for the rainbow tattoos. We will become Rockers.
