this was another day at the fringe festival. one stop was at Bobby and Steve's nearby for lunch, having a little godfather's pizza much like a week before. this was after i had been at Rarig for volunteer appreciation day, and i got a popsicle there. then it was on to two shows in another neighborhood. first was at the storytelling school near the walker art museum. i parked in the ramp at the museum and made it just in time for the show, which was about etymology and linguistics. i guessed the one about a 'hippo' being a 'river horse', but i still learned from the show as expected. then i walked down the road to the phoenix theater in uptown Minneapolis and saw the 'label maker' show. it was the sixth and final show that i saw during this 11-day festival. it was the one where i was given a show card for. i wiped away a tear when the storyteller, a one-woman show, spoke about being spanked by her mom. it sounded familiar, using fear and shame to keep a kid in line. notable was the songs used in the show, too. this included 'drive' by incubus in this segment. then i walked back to my car and saw a puppet theater that reminded me of my meetup friend, the retired postal worker. i sent a text about it. when i got home i made it just in time to get groceries at Aldi. i watched some of the baseball game on fox, brewers-dodgers. the brewers won.
