I was matched with Frida. I'm hoping that she is played by Salma Hayek and ditches the 'stache

The Ten Commandments

Hey -- for those interested in the craft of improv, I found these "Ten Commandments" at humanpingpongball.com and thought they were pretty good. The site's a pretty good resource, so cheeeck it out. Of course, nothing is ever set in stone with improv, but, well, see these more as "guidelines."
  • Thou shalt not block
  • Thou shalt always retain focus
  • Thou shalt not shine above thy team-mates
  • To gag is to commit a sin that will be paid for
  • Thou shalt always be changed by what is said to you
  • Thou shalt not waffle
  • When in doubt, break the routine
  • To wimp is to show thy true self
  • (S)he what tries to be clever is not; while (s)he that is clever doesn't try
  • When thy faith is low, thy spirit weak, thy good fortune strained, and thy team losing, be comforted and smile, because it just doesn't matter.

Martinsville


Gordon winning makes a happy improvisor. Here are some sites I've been infatuated with lately:
Wikipedia -- put "improvisational theatre" in their search engine and you should find a link to an improv Wiki, which is pretty kick ass. Or just start reading. Good stuff.
Star Wars.com -- HOLDEN said it best; you wanna punch George Lucas everytime you think of things like, "Mee-sa so happy to-sa see-sa you-sa!," but then a trailer comes for a new Star Wars and suddenly I'm as giddy as a school girl.
eHow.com -- where howstuffworks.com tells you how time travel works, eHow fills you in on the other stuff, like, changing your oil, or how to act on a date.

I linked to this interview from Boing Boing. Its about what people find funny and why. Interesting stuff, but specific information is sparse.

We had a great round of Theatre Sports last night, but I forgot my camera, so I didn't get any pictures -- which is why I posted this picture from a news story that was out a few days ago. (can you find the special "Tim" significance of this picture?) The crowd was nutty, the scenes were great, and everyone had a great time. Thanks to everyone who came out!!! Tonight's show starts at 10:30pm! Get your tickets at www.gevatheatre.org. Posted by Hello
