Factory Finish

Art by Dave Pruden

Inspector 69 has certified that we can leave the factory because we are done!

But before we go there's a few more things to say, starting with:
"U P S! U P S! U P S!"

We don't usually cheer for corporations, but in the case of the UPS store at the corner of Lipton and Portage we are more than willing to ululate with abandon and strike up the band.

A huge bouquet of thanks go to Ashley, Albertine, Glen, and Cam, who stayed past the store's 6 PM closing time every press day, to make sure that every issue of the Jenny's 18th edition got to you. This is not the first time that the employees of this shop have gone above and beyond for the Jenny Revue; and we, as always, feel very lucky and grateful to have them in our corner.

No Apologies-I know I'm tempting fate here, with this issue still on the factory floor, but I think this is the first year that we haven't used some of this page to apologize to somebody about something. Of course, I haven't finished writing this yet...

Misidentified-The Cross-Eyed Rascals wish to contact the person who complained to the Festival's Executive Director that early in the festival, one of them supposedly performed blue material at the Kid's Fringe.

No, they didn't! This troupe prides itself on doing clean improv and will prove it to the disgruntled patron by inviting him or her to the 7:30 show of Safe Socks on Saturday, or to one of their regular season shows. ?Email crosseyedrascals@gmail.com or call Tim at: 226-4446.

Thanks, again-to Jem Rolls, and all the performers at the Secret Midnight Cabaret who once again chose to include The Jenny as both guests and beneficiaries. We had a fabulous time and are very grateful for your continued validation and support.

Birthday wishes-And a big thank-you to Susan Bohn, housemanager at MTYP, who is known for never forgetting a birthday. She sent Jenny a lovely birthday card and two Beer Tent tickets. Awww, thank you sweetie.

By the way Susan, could you find a way to remind us that during every Fringe, Michelle Cook's July 20th birthday gets lost in the Jenny madness?. Happy (belated) Birthday Michelle! And while we're at it, Happy Birthday wishes (this Sunday) go out to Steve McIntyre from his sister Lyn and us. Just remember, you guys, growing older doesn't mean you have to grow up.

Getting old-Still, there's something to be said about maturity. (I'm speaking on behalf of The Jenny Revue. Maturity has pretty much escaped those of us who produce it.) For 12 days we drink, laugh, hang out with our friends, and stay up all night playing with our computers, just like we were all 18 again instead of the aging, semisolid citizens we appear to be.

For all their hard work, I want to thank Dave C., Michelle, Shawn, Leif, Lisa, both Kevins, and Dave P., who stepped up once more to create both a great paper and a great time.

Jenny Awards-And one more great time can be had this Sunday at 10 pm at the King's Head upstairs, where you, the performers, volunteers, and technicians of the Winnipeg Fringe, determine which 2009 shows go home with a cute little stuffed donkey A.K.A. a Jenny Award.

The only criterion for being nominated is being in the Jenny Revue in some way. If your name or image was in our paper, you could be a contender. The categories are ridiculous at best, but the loud screams of your fans are real.

NOTE: You have to be at the event to win. If you know you can't be, please tell us by email at jennyrevue@shaw.ca, or tell us in person at the annual Saturday night nomination scrum at The King's Head We are the people all talking at once, while flapping papers and programs around. Or just ask The King's Head staff, who we thank immensely for their continued patience and cheer.

Another year done.This factory is (almost) closed.
