DeanMail - July 2012 - Friedman, Flying, France, Fringe Festival & Fabulous Food Hey Folks, Just a few more days 'til I'm aloft, heading across the 'pond' to kick off the 1st leg of my UK/Ireland (& France!) tour. I'm tired of all those extra baggage fees on EasyJet, so, as you can see (picture left), I've opted for an alternative mode of transportation. Really looking forward to my weekend 'Songwriting Seminar' in Carcassonne, France, followed by a three-day run at my favorite little restaurant/venue in the UK, The Crooked Billet in lovely, Henley-on-Thames, July 30, 31 and August 1st. Just to say, the food is absolutely delicious and it's always a fun show. There are still a few tickets left, so if you live anywhere in the area, I urge you to check it out. ORDER TICKETS Then, of course, I head north to Scotland for a handful of gigs - , Kinross (Aug. 3); Glasgow (Aug.4)- including my two-week run (three venues) at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. This will be my 8th Fringe Festival and it's my favorite place to be in August. If you've never been, for goodness sakes... check it out!: Thousands of talented performers, wonderful shows of every ilk, comedy, theatre, music, dance... in a stunningly beautiful city, crowned by a story-book castle, straight out of a fairy tale.  You're guaranteed to have a terrific time, even if my show sucks! (Which, hopefully, it won't ;-) Dean at the Fringe: Sweet – Grassmarket       August 8, 9, 10, 11, 12                9:00pm ORDER TICKETS Malmaison – Edinburgh    August 15, 16, 17, 18, 19            9:00pm ORDER TICKETS Voodoo Rooms               August 20                                  9:00pm ORDER TICKETS More Food!: Don't forget, if you do plan on visiting the Fringe Festival, the Malmaison Hotel is providing a 15% dinner discount voucher for a meal (ala cart menu and drinks) in their brasserie, good during my appearance at the hotel, from Aug. 15 thru 19.

I'm sure my good pal, Adrian Chiles, won't mind me telling of his heretofore little known, notorious past, in the least! ;-) That's all for now. Take care, have fun! See ya soon!   Dean PS:  If you haven't already done so, don't forget to download my cool new 'Dean Friedman Music' App. Works on most mobile devices.
