It’s marvelous how many festivals are going on each week. Almost every weekend we hear from folks traveling to other cities and sharing ideas. But probably very few weekends have such a large number of performers shifting around the country as this weekend. Del Close Marathon and The Twin Cities Improv Festival are both going on this weekend. Two more different festivals could not exist, but both offer a great opportunity for performers to get out of their normal comfort zone and see some of the best performers in the country do their thing. And to our friends up North, The Edmonton Festival is happening in Canada right now too. So I hope everyone up there is having a blast.

We know that a huge number of NIN members are on the road this week, so no traditional blog post on theatre management or festival organizing today. Just well wishes for safe travels, especially those of you who are driving overnight. You’re in for a great experience. I hope to see some of you in New York, and I know plenty of folks will be in Minneapolis. Don’t be shy to reach out and meet new people. That’s what the network is all about.

Have a safe and fun weekend everyone. See you next week, and feel free to leave your favorite memories in the comments section here.
