Day Four: Dump Me Dump Me Dump Me DUMP ME

Today we did something we've been talking about doing for a while in our Festival attending life: we stayed in the same room in the same venue all day, in order to jam in as many shows as possible. This proved to be both a very effective way of covering a lot of ground, and a truly fool hardy way to spend the day, as we saw seven shows today - more than most people see in a week, and certainly the most we've ever seen together.

Today we chose the Pleasance Hut, because it seemed to have the best run of shows between 2.35pm and 10pm. We were mostly right, with two hideous exceptions. These will be appearing in the review section, possibly tomorrow, so come on back. Our one regret today was not bringing any food with us, because it's difficult to find time in the 10 minutes you get in between shows to walk about and loosen up as well as queue for food while the weekend Festival crowds have gathered. Plus the Pleasance seems to have forgotten the existence of vegetarians, which is frustrating to say the least.

Tomorrow we'll be doing it again, but only five shows and with a nice big break in the middle. It seems more sensible.
