ABSOLUTE Fringe- a HUGE Success!

ABSOLUTE Fringe has been extended for the remainder of 2011 based on the success of our debut festival.
We are accepting submissions for bookings for the second quarter, the dates of which are 4-24; 5-29; and 6-26.
The next show is on February 27th and will feature Ellen Rosner and the Bubbly Creek All Stars, Plain Ole Delicious, Stewed Tomatoes, Congress of Starlings, TRET FURE! and the lone male performer, Scott Free.

I know the womyn's community is going to come out in numbers for this show. I am looking forward to booking more mostly female shows in the future too.

Male or female, I hope you will come out to support the performers of ABSOLUTE Fringe. They are really bringing their A games to entertain you.

Thanks to Kristin Lems, Shoes For Mabel, Amy Delicious, Scott Free Trio, The Joans, and Boys' Entrance for their time and talent. I hope you had a great time and will be back.

Cheers!
Tim Cain

Gay Chicago Shoot

Watch for the Jan. 25th issue of Gay Chicago. Yours truly will grace THE COVER! The subject of the article is my ABSOLUTE Fringe show. Sukie De La Croix was the photographer, and he was accompanied to the Elbo Room Chicago by Gregg Shapiro who interviewed me for the article. We had a hoot.

We have been friends for years. Gregg was the first journalist to encourage my music in Boys' Entrance. He has written many reviews of Boys' Entrance through the years. He has been an advocate for the band, and I am deeply grateful to him for his support.

Sukie has been a friend for many years as well. He is one of the great raconteurs of the Chicago music/gay scene. Not only is he a gifted writer, but he is also a great photographer. We had so much fun camping it up at the Elbo Room last week. At one point I was doing some fabulous pose, and Sukie said, "Oh yeah, that's it. I don't know how you are doing this?" And I responded, "I haven't been watching America's Top Model" all these years for nothing". To which Greg, (that bitch) quipped, "That's America's Bottom Model!" We all fell out. It was like that all afternoon.

I can't wait to see what fringy photo graces the cover, and the accompanying article.

Thanks Sukie and Gregg!
