It'll never work... will it?
Things are rocking along incredibly fast with this Fringe Festival idea. The idea was mooted less than 2 weeks ago on Berkshire Live and our first meeting was less than a week ago. Since then loads of exciting stuff been kicked off.
Berkshire Live Aid was great to be involved with, but this is a very different situation. There although lots of people took part in the day there was a very small team of three of us who were basically organising everything. This time I don't have one of the major jobs (although everyones contribution is very important) but I'm still incredibly impressed with how much can be organised in so little time.
Putting on a 5 day fringe festival in two months is, frankly, a little bit insane. I think I was initially quite wary of trying to organise something too huge and complicated in the timescales. I didn't think we'd pull it off. Seeing what's been achieved in just a few days so far I've changed my mind. There are a lot of very enthusiastic people working very hard and more importantly people we are getting in touch with outside the josaka/berkshire live community are getting excited about the idea too.
Fingers crossed!
