WYSIWYG

What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Yup, the YAMster's on the move yet again; driving back to Edinburgh today for the monthly visit with the father... but also to take in a heap more culture.

It's Edinburgh Festival and Fringe time and I have twelve shows lined up. It looks a bit like this from tomorrow:
19th August
14:00h - Ed. Intern'l Photo Exhib. V130 
20:00h - Equilibrium V127 

22nd August
13:15h - Sea Hames (Orkney tales) V22 
14:30h - Declaration Rematriation V73 
19:00h - Process Day V82

23rd August
13:30h - Austentatious V300 
17:20h - Starship Osiris V61 

24th August
10:00h - Phill Jupitus Sketchman V66 
14:30h -    "         "     'Achtung, Achtung!' 
19:30h - Scotland's Harp (incl Na Clairserean) 

For the adventurous and curious among you, you can tap the venue numbers (eg V127) into the interactive map at the EdFringe website and get a feel for the territory. As if that were not enough, in between shows on the days am out, will be putting the Fudge to work big-time... and as am taking Voovoo the Vaio with me, am planning to post from there with immediate and hot-off-the-lens stuff for you all to get your own version of the madness.

Most of it I will be doing alone, but my cousin thrice removed (and whom I recall only ever having met once) will be joining me for the Austentatious show on 23rd then on the 24th I'll go to her place for lunch after the Sketchman gig and we go together to the 14:30 and 19:30 shows. The last one is a bit special, as Mac1 will be playing the clarsach with her group.

Have a great weekend everyone - will be here with the first report on MenoSunday!

  6. We were there a few years ago (remember?), but we never got the chance to see much more than the street artist, the enormous amount of tourists and of course the Tattoo (our main reason for visiting Edinburgh). At some point though I would love to see the fringe (and the Tattoo of course again). Wouldn't mind seeing Phil Jupitus...

  8. Hope you have a great time at tbe festival and you find things ok with your father. It was my Book Group's day at the festival yesterday. Currently enjoying a lie in in the massive bedroom in my friends John and Francoise's New Town flat. Took in 3 readings/interviews - John Hunter (Small Isles), Raja Shehadeh (Palestinian writer/human rights activist), and Siri Hustvedt /Elif Shafak 'writers double act'. On a less intellectual note, attended evening comedy shows by Henning Wehn and Sara Pascoe. Highlights were Shehadeh and Pascoe.
    Cheers, Gail.
