If you haven't checked out the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival/Philly Fringe blog yet, get that sucker on your RSS, like, now, because the concurrent festivals are only a couple of weeks away, and the site is brimming with useful info (and adorable haikus).

Here's a bit of what's up with our former intern:
Why did you start volunteering?
I'm always up for getting free stuff (and particularly free culture) in exchange for a bit of pleasantly-spent time and energy. Also, I was unemployed and bored.What has been your favorite show in the Festival?
Gatz [Elevator Repair Service's eight-hour real-time staged reading of The Great Gatsby] almost takes the cake, and was certainly an unforgettable theater experience, but that same year's No Dice by Nature Theater of Oklahoma just nudges it out for its even more compelling execution of a similarly simple-yet-illogical premise, sustained over an only slightly less exhaustive running time: three and a half hours, with a break for ham sandwiches. You really needed that long just to acclimate to its bizarreness. It was one of the most utterly unique, thought-provoking and perversely entertaining pieces of art I've ever seen. Gotta give a shout-out to Jo Str'mgren's Convent, as well.What has been your most "Fringe" moment?
There was the weirdness of getting a package of "successful napkins" in the mail a few weeks after the festival last year, a purchase from Matsune and Subal's Store [not to be confused with kate watson-wallace/anonymous bodies's STORE this year].
Keep a watch on CritMass in the coming weeks ' we'll be sorting out what's what and previewing shows we hope K-Ross will be talking about years from now.
