End of Fest
Sep. 4th, 2006 10:12 pmThe Fort Edmonton Park Storytelling Festival has come to a close. Zimmerman and I did our Devil show (on Sunday) and our Jack show (on Monday), as well as each getting 10 minutes in a Sunday night concert with 6 other tellers. The Devil show and the Jack show got about a 30-person audience each and there were 75 people at the concert. All in all, a great turnout.
At the risk of sounding arrogant, we kicked ass. There were great tellers in this festival, but Zimmerman and I really stood out. In the Sunday night concert, I told the Hall of Wonders story that held the people spellbound and Zimmermans's story about Pierre and the Tulips had them roaring with laugther.
We sold about 15 Jack books, which was 5 books less than what I was hoping for, but still satisfactory. I picked up a couple of story CDs, but no books this time which is unusual for me. These story fests usually mean I come home with an armful of books.
Also, our host family video-taped the Jack show that we did today at the park, but he also taped a dress rehearsal of the Devil show we did in their living room. He's burned these two shows to DVD and we'll see what we can do about uploading them to YouTube.com for public consumption. We'll let you know when that happens!
So now that we've conquered Edmonton, what's next? We need to get cracking on applying to other storytelling fests from around the world. Alberta is the farthest I've travelled so far with storytelling, but now that I've done it, it's time to see how far I can push it!
Yes, yes... there's the whole flying issue I have. I should be biting my nails about it right now, but I'm still too pumped from the weekend's successes to be worried.
