I volunteered again tonight with the Dublin Fringe Festival. Most of the time, I end up running between venues dropping off tickets and whatnot and then work one of the later shows for which the scheduled volunteer never appears. Tonight started out no differently, but by the end of the evening, there were excess stand-by volunteers for the shows that needed covering. I jumped at the chance to see my fourth fringe show! It turns out that one of the shows I wanted to see was one of the two shows that needed a box office person so I opted to both see the show and to work it. So I felt useful and indulged at once.
The show was hilarious! The man performing in this one man show Shake, Rattle, and Noel is Noel Faulkner. He has lived quite a load of experiences that brought him from Ireland to New York to San Francisco to Columbia (back to San Francisco back to New York back to Ireland) and include performing in San Francisco with Robin Williams in Endgame, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, and others as Mr. Williams' stand-up comedy career was taking off. Some of Noel's family still live in the San Francisco area.
As we were chatting before the show he asked if I could dance and if I'd like to be in the show tomorrow night. He said I should watch the show and talk with him afterwards. (There is a brief moment of a little dance in the sixties.) And so I will be that dancing gal tomorrow night!
It will be my first time getting dressed up since I arrived and I cannot think of a better occasion!
