Walked by at 7 pm yesterday, on my way home from the day job, and Scot McKenzie and his crew were busy building the "walls" for the Baldacchino space. Kinda fun, actually: They're walls ... of doors.

And while last time I saw them (Monday) they were still in the throes of construction, they look to be very interesting. The Shop is a nicely conceived black-box type space (which will become a year-round space after Fringe is over, if I'm not mistaken) and The Baldacchino is a big f-in tent. Also, Fort Fringe has a bar and food. So perhaps there will be vomiting again this year, but maybe more from booze-meets-bratwurst combinations and less from oppressive heat.

Last year they built a little space in an attic. Uncomfortable, dingy, hot - but hey, it's Fringe. Except it got so hot that the audience was fainting and puking. Don't want to see that again.
