Fringe wrap-up 2015!

It’s been such an exciting couple of weeks here at the House at Moo Corner. Supercali-FRINGE-ilistic went very well for us as we hosted over 300 happy, supportive audience members. We got to talk to many of you after our shows, and everyone we’ve talked to haven’t been able to say enough good things about the show and our music. We couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve done this year, and we will have a lot of positivity going into our traditional post-Fringe business meeting and “Remember, We’re Still Friends” dinner next week.

Of course, we couldn’t have done it all ourselves. This year’s show was helped along by some very important and noteworthy people. First of all, we couldn’t have done the show without our trusty stage manager, Jenica Hagan. She has been a wonderful technician, sound operator, critic, and friend for many years and we work very well together. She knows music, and she knows our sound and how to get the most out of us, whether it’s adjusting mic levels on the fly or suggesting points in the music where someone needs to alter their tone or volume. We love her to bits. Fun fact: Jenica is not just a singer and stage manager, she is also an organizer. She and a friend run Three Hands Two Hearts Organizational Services, a small business that can help declutter a home to manageable levels. Need to simplify your storage? Want to get rid of redundant junk? Call on Jenica and she’ll help you out!

We’d also like to thank the Knox-Metropolitan United Church for renting us the venue once again. It’s been a decent working relationship, and we respect the trust they have in us as we take over their space for a week and a half every August. Sadly, this is likely to be our last year at Knox-Met, as the congregation will probably be moving out of that building next year. Know a great venue for Apocalypse Kow during Fringe? Let us know!

Thanks also go to our roster of front-of-house volunteers this year: thanks to Graeme and Nyleen, Jessica, Lex, Kirsten, Justin, Jason, and Suzanne for helping us out. Maybe next year, we should pay them in candy from our concession.

And finally, thank you to our audiences new and old who came out to support Apocalypse Kow. We love singing for appreciative audiences. We had a lot of new fans taking a chance on us this year, and to them we say welcome to the herd! Thanks for making this such a fun, wonderful Fringe Festival, you guys!

Be sure to catch us next at the Kaleido Family Arts Festival, September 11-13. The schedule should be up soon.

Good night!
