Well, today is the start of Philly Fringe. Okay, it’s officially the 2007 Philadelphia Live Arts Festival & Philly Fringe, but that takes WAY too long to type, so I will continue to cling to the antiquated (and yet enduring) habit of calling the whole she-bang just “Philly Fringe.”

And, as I look at my stack of already-purchased tickets, and my cluster of post-its with hypothetical scheduling matrices that would get me to some additional shows, I think it’s safe to say that I’m about to go a little bit Fringe-crazy.

I’ll try to put up snapshot reactions/reviews throughout the next two weeks, but till I go to that first show, here (well, after the jump) is linkage to some of the online press about Fringe*:

Cherry Hill Courier Post: Move to the Fringe
City Paper: Full Fringe Coverage
Delaware Online: Global, local talent coming to Philly
The Evening Bulletin: Curator Preps for Philly Fringe/Live Arts Festival
Philadelphia Inquirer: Fringe Festival: Over the top, still and These shows are funny, shocking, and likely to have legs
Philadelphia Weekly: God is dead funny and Oh! What a lovely WaWa
PhillyBurbs.com: On the edge and over the top
South Philly Review: The Alternative Route
Inky blog: Headlong Dance, Explanatorium
Inky blog: Pig Iron Theater, Isabella

* N.B.: I do not claim this to be a comprehensive list, but I’ll be happy to add more links if you send ‘em along.
