Funny Edinburgh

I'm currently in Edinburgh fully enjoying the complete luck of having come here during the Fringe Festival. The festival is a yearly congregation of performers that come from all over the world. The performances vary from music, to comedy, to dance, to drama, etc. There are over 400 venues being used throughout the city, housing thousands of shows. It would be physically impossible to catch each one. While Meghan and Jacob are off volunteering at the Tattoo (picture a UK army parade that is hours long) each night (tonight is the last night and they are going to try to sneak me in) I have been entertaining myself with comedy. No, not MY comedy, though that would be entirely possible and have been known to do on occasion. No, I have been going to back-to-back standup comedy shows, and well, God loves me right now because I really can't picture a better way to spend my time for the few hours i have on my own.

I have to comment that while i'm typing away, there is a three year old kid at the computer next to me and he has single-handedly inserted money into the machine for Internet access, navigated to You Tube, and is now watching some sort of age-appropriate show. His father just came up to him very tentatively and said "I've ordered you a diet coke, I hope that's ok. Looks like you are going to be there for a while, why don't you make yourself more comfortable and take off your coat?"

Am I sitting next to a genius?!

Alright, off to another show...
