Edinburgh has a habit of throwing the most unexpected weather at you and today was no exception with temperatures of 22 degrees, cloudless skies and views from the top of Carlton Hill to die for. It almost seemed criminal to go indoors for the shows.
Nevertheless the day started with the frenetic bun fight which is the Promoter's (or is it the Producer's) networking breakfast. It's a great chance to meet some interesting people who have shows they are desperate to get people like us along to see - and to meet a few old favourites too such as Ines Wurth who has brought some great new shows to Edinburgh this year.
Saw some good shows too - see the tweets opposite for instant reviews. Two very different highlights today (so far) include Kev Orvian's hugely entertaining 'The Illegal Tour' about an Armenian Immigrant musician and Martin Creed's inspirational and unified exhibition 'Down Over Up' at The Fruitmarket Gallery - one of my favourite spaces. The Edinburgh Art Festival has some great looking exhibitions on this week and I hope to see as many as I can this week.
