Adorable!

On one of the nastiest days of the year, Sharon convinced me to go to the Fringe. Or more specifically, the Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival. First of all, its “Theater” haha! And secondly, International? Not even the New York Fringe claims to be International!

Anyway, we went to see “Adorable” by David Belke. The play tells the story of a paranoid magician and his new assistant. I thought it was really good; Sharon said it wasn’t his best (I think she was just showing off her extensive Fringe knowledge ;)). I think I’d go again next year as long as the weather is nicer! Even though today was the last day of the Fringe, they are showing “the best of” for the next couple days if you are interested.

After the Fringe we went for dinner and decided to try Joey’s Global Grill in South Edmonton Common as neither of us had been there. That place looks so fancy from the outside, we felt completely underdressed walking up to the door. It wasn’t too bad though, even some guys in ball caps inside.

I can safely say it is my new favorite restaurant. The place is immaculate, and the bar is awesome. It is huge, and looks so nice with colored bottles and fancy lighting all the way up the wall. Oh and two pretty big LCD TV screens. Leather seats. Leather menus. The service was good, the food was great. The music was decent (80s and 90s dance pop mostly). And most importantly – a staff that puts Moxie’s in the northside and every other restaurant in the city to shame. Absolutely INSANELY good scenery. Give it a shot!
