Edinburgh!!

Hi folks,

Wow, it's been a long time, right?
I'm so sorry. Let me catch you up.
First of all, my last blog was about my 7 year relationship. I regret to inform you that that has since ended. He is a lovely man and I wish him the absolute best in life, because he deserves it.
Since then I have...put on a bunch of shows, gone back to India, met another man, put one a lot of other shows, and ended up here, in Edinburgh, where I write to you now. I'm in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with my show, Delilah Dix and her Bag of Tricks! Whhhheeeee!
It's so crazy here and alive and interersting and fun! My show starts a run on Saturday at Fingers Piano Bar. Scottish people refer to it as a dive, but it's gorgeous! Seriously, if the Scots think that place is gross, coming to some of my venues in New York must equal to having a hobo pee in their mouths. I love the place!

I had a run through today with Michael Brockman, a pianist I met two years ago at The LAFF fest in Austin. He's great! Prepared, funny, easy to work with.

I'm here as a solo show, but there are a ton of other great acts here, including my favorite sketch group of all time, Skinny Bitch Jesus Meeting. They are amazing! Look them up. Like, right now. Stop reading and google them. Then come back because I have abondonment issues.

I'll try to blog as much as possible. There are 2000 shows at this festival. 2000 shows?!! It's a crazy time here, but such a great oppurtunity.

I'm in Fringe Central right how, where they have wi-fi and a quiet place to type and relax, and sober up I would imagine. You get hammered here,like more than anything else. I have so much to sing in my show, I need to watch it a little, but I think they put extra vitamins in the beer here, so it's good for you.


I love you!

Amy

  1. Wow. Did cartoon birds dress you this morning? Did a baby deer eat corn meal out of your hand? You sound so upbeat and optimistic. Meanwhile, I have a terrible summer cold, I can't fit into my pants after my vacation, and my sunburn is peeling ON MY FACE. And here you are all "it might be cold here, but everyone's hearts are so warm!"
    I hope a stranger throws up on your shoes.
