34,265 performances of 2,098 shows in 265 venues

Those are the scary, exciting, and exhilarating statistics for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival here in Scotland. Stacie and I settled into our flat (very roomy with leather couches! pictures will be up soon) on Tuesday. Everything is in WALKING distance (yay!) and the city is quite accessible.

Edinburgh is buzzing as the festival officially begins this weekend. It's madness, really, with so many performers vying for audience members. It's a harsh, competitive game that Stacie and I are vicious players in! Now, to help us out a bit, I've been walking around in the bull mascot, which is definitely an attention grabber.

We're working on very little sleep but there's too much going on and things are too exciting here to spend all of our time sleeping. Will update more soon.
