From my desk in Chicago, IL.
Today, I was complimented twice on this tshirt I got from last year’s Fringe (The Edinburgh Festival). See below. First in Wow Bao on State and Lake. And later on the 148 bus. Pleasant surprise. I didn’t realize it was THAT special. :) But anyway, the said event was held last year precisely around this time. My t-shirt says “Aug. 7-31”. I bet this year’s is going on right now. I will find the link and update this post later.
p.s., Update: And indeed it is ongoing: 06 to 30 August. Click here for the home page. Here for twitter, and here for their Facebook “like” page.

Hi Hun, it’s a very special festival is Edinburgh, I love it and keep meaning to visit.
What’s happened to your page on Facebook? You just dissapered and didn’t even say ‘Goodbye’
Hey Dave: YOu’ve never been to the Fringe yet? Whatever happened to honoring your Scottish heritage? :) You can begin preparing next year. The FB page is deactivated for now. Twitter is still open. Simpler. :) Will PM you other/additional reasons. YOu need to jumpstart your twitter, green apple.
