The Fringe has a book! It’s on sale now!
In celebration of the Ottawa Fringe Festival’s 15th anniversary (which is clearly the “commemorative book” anniversary) the festival undertook a Super Secret Mystery Project (which, if you follow @ottawafringe on Twitter, you may have heard of). And if you were at the Fringe Gala last week you may have received a sneak peek. But today the Super Secret Mystery Project is revealed to the public:
OFF THE RECORD: 15 Years of the Ottawa Fringe Festival – edited by Andrew Snowdon with contributions from 15 years worth of Ottawa Fringe artists, audience, and staff.
Now, I haven’t had a chance to read the book either (even I’m not high enough on the Fringe Food chain to get Super Secret Mystery Project clearance), which is grossly unfair considering I am (apparently) in it. I hope they didn’t write about the time I ate sketchy chicken wings in Toronto. You can find the full solicitation is below – which may give you a clue as to whether or not you’re in the book – and you can get your copy here on the website, by calling 613.232.6162, or by stopping by the Fringe office.
And feel free to leave a comment with your favourite Fringe memory.
YOU MAY BE IN THIS BOOK.
