I feel good… better than James Brown. Rogue 2007 went well. There seemed to be a significant spike in audience attendance. Performers from far and near seemed to be on a buzzed high from their participation. In general the caliber of shows was very impressive. After 6 years I think it has finally arrived.
Both my shows did well. Suicide Lounge was quite a popular show. For something that was thrown together as a lark… after our last performance we were offered a 2-3 week gig in a jazz club in Shanghai! How freaky is that? You can read about some of it here at fellow SF blogger Generik who turned up for the final weekend. There are some pictures there too!
Tale End sold out 3 of it’s 5 shows. Those who said they would turned up… others didn’t… but it’s all good. I was especially proud of the last 2 performances. When the lights went out on stage the audience sat in stunned silence for a good 5-10 seconds before the applause rolled high. We all went into this knowing full well that audiences would like it or hate it… and that proved true. Here are some of the reviews and a new post!
New friends were made… old friends reacquainted and it was also time to say goodbye to a friend and fellow founder of the festival. She headed out today for a new life back East.
I’ll leave it at that for now and here are some pictures. Speaking of pictures… there are more on this year’s fest HERE as well… including a cool Flikr slideshow. Ahh… now back to real life!
