Last minute Fringe notes
Gillian Cosgriff: Decent voice, worked the crowd well, serious gift for narrative songwriting. Her sound guy wants a slap in the face, though, I didn't even know you could get distortion one octave down from middle C. (Or maybe it's the equipment he had to work with's fault; still.)
Alan Anderson: I was going to say he was good but not great, then I looked at my watch as I walked out of the show. Half an hour late. It had started on time. It was only supposed to last an hour. My half-formed plans for the rest of the night were pretty much out the window. And I didn't give a damn, 'cause he and everyone else in the room had had that good a time. Points off for stock "wrong side of the tracks" jokes about Elizabeth and Salisbury, bonus points back on for making a "drink responsibly" joke about our esteemed former state Treasurer.
Sameena Zehra (of "Tea With Terrorists" fame, though I saw her elsewhere): Please, please, please come back. That was brilliant. I've never seen anyone so utterly at home on stage.
