So Haste have been in San Diego for just over a week and I am quite sure that we are all ready to up sticks in London and move out here to California! We have been shown such a warm welcome - by both the people and the weather! It is real a pleasure to be in such a friendly city and to contribute in what is sure to be a fantastic Fringe Festival.
We have been kept busy playing frisbee and surfing (well attempting to...) on the beach, rehearsing at the San Diego Academy of Performing Arts Studio and joining in the local Zumba classes. Today we will be out and about in Down Town SD to busk and make some noise about Oyster Boy before we start our technical rehearsal this evening at Space4Art.
Last night we took part in the Fringe Press Mixer hosted by the 10th Avenue Theatre (Fringe Central), where we were thrilled to be welcomed by such a lively audience and the brilliant Fringe Team. It was a great opportunity to perform a little taster of the show to a California audience, and of course to see what all the other great artists have brought to the festival. It seems the week ahead is going to be an absolute blast!
Thank you so much to our friends at home, our new friends in Rome and here in San Diego who have supported us thus far. Without your encouragement this tour would never have been possible. We are extremely grateful!
Ok, ciao for now!
