Sorry, theatre peeps.

We sort of dropped the ball on Monday night. Our live blogging left much to be desired. We wanted to bring you a live list of companies as they were drawn from the bin…and we missed a butt load. They really whizz through that shit, don’t they?  Well, let’s just chalk it up to us being live-blog virgins.  We’ll last longer the next time.  Here’s the complete list, by the by.

If you’re one of those Fringers who loves your festival chock full of veterans, the 2009 Fringe line up is your theatrical wet dream. Here are just a few of the “big guns” in this year’s fest:

• Tim Uren
• Sandbox Theatre
• Ministry of Cultural Warfare
• Joseph Scrimshaw (I’d be interested in knowing how many times he hasn’t gotten a slot)
• Joshua Scrimshaw (Joe’s wife Sara got in, too, by the way)
• Mike Fotis
• Ferrari McSpeedy
• Noah Bremer
• Ari Hoptman
• Pillsbury House (someone explain in the comments why they’re in the Fringe)
• Jonas Goslow
• Four Humors Theater
• Nautilus Music Theater
• Walking Shadow Theatre Co.
• Allegra Lingo
• Ben San Del
• Shanan Wexler & Carolyn Pool
• David Mann
• Lili’s Burlesque Review
• New Theatre Group

Seriously. That’s a lot of high-powered Fringing.

Now, I know it’s super early, but here are a few out-of-towners to keep your eyes open for:

• Peter Neofotis
• The Adventures of Les Kurkendaal and Dan Bernitt
• Same Planet Different World Dance Theatre
• casebolt and smith
• Jimmy Hogg

Here are a few companies that I was really looking forward to…but didn’t quite make the cut:

• Urban Samurai
• Nonsense Company (suuuuuuuper bummed about this miss)
• Infinity Live Productions (although, Walking Shadow is bringing us Cody Rivers in March)
• Schave & Reilly
• 3 Sticks
• The Cloud Sandwich Factory
• No Refunds Theatre Co.
• Horse Trade (mmmmm, Pumpkin Pie Show)

And on a selfish note, there was one company that I had HUGE butterflies for, but unfortunately landed on the Wait List. This company could’ve — nay, would’ve — made my entire Fringe. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the biggest miss of the 2009 Fringe Lottery…WILLIE’S WENCHES!
