This was my fourth Fringe, and my goal was singular: make enough profit from Pay What You Want ticket pre-sales with Free Fringe to pay my rent for four months so I can focus on my first cruise gig this fall and on touring in the spring. 

To pull this off, I did 3-4 spots in compilation shows a day and exit flyered like a maniac. (Exit flyering means I stood at the exit and put a piece of paper with a picture of my face in every audience member's hand.) I've never spent so much time on Cowgate. Spot, flyer, spot, flyer, spot, flyer, 🎶 do my show, 🎶 spot, flyer.

Dear Reader, I did it. I hit the number.

And, of course, the relationships and friendships that blossomed and bloomed in the process are worth double. When you're doing the thing you love, everyone notices. It's contagious. 

I love this show, and if I can get up and sing and make people laugh every day for the rest of my life, I'm set. In lieu of that, I guess I'll still do my best to love, and allow myself to be loved, as much as possible *anyway,* wherever I happen to be. 

Love and luck and opera and joy and kindness. 💓
