Mirazozo at the Fringe

Great weather to start the Fringe (65-70F and sunny) has finally given way to real rain. The Tattoo is clearly soaked through, but carries on nonetheless-- we can hear the cannon and watch the fireworks over the castle from our windows.

The kids have seen a variety of shows and will post on them soon. Although I was initially very skeptical and somewhat displeased with the pricing, going into Architects of the Air's Mirazozo was actually one of the highlights of the Fringe so far. It's harder to describe than it seems-- it's pretty much an oddly shaped, air pressure inflated tent, with domes and corridors, made from a material that blocks most light, but with various panels and shapes that let natural light in. As those panels are all red, blue or green, the inside feels like something out of the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica, but in an incredibly relaxing and mellowing way. There is ambient music playing, and you wander around or just plop down and relax. Lynn fell asleep, I rested, the kids wandered around for nearly an hour.
