That's what I feel like I'm doin' today -- riding the roller coaster with a load of post-Fringe depression in my gut.
Ending the Fringe -- It's just an Invitation to the Blues.
BUT... I had a great time in the last few days, which I'll talk about after this ride is over. And I'm actually groovin' right now to Holly Cole's "Temptation", from which the above two titles/sentiments derive. (No, I didn't get the blues from Holly, but she's absolutely the best company I could have with me on this ride.)
"They broke all the windows,
took all the doorknobs,
and they hauled it away
in a couple of days."
... and I've only been Fringing for a couple of weeks, as your audience representative on the blogger team. I can't imagine how performers and producers and administrators and support staff must feel. (Actually, I hope they're deliriously tired and happy!)
If you want to fall down deep and rise way up, listen to Holly's amazing voice interpret Tom Waits' gritty, carnival lyrics. The whole album is her singing Tom's songs, and it moves mountains in me every time I listen to it.

For my money her early stuff is the best. I got to see her up close (about 5' away) when she toured for her 2nd CD. Simply amazing.
