Austin Improv

Not that I've signed up in forEVER, but I do read this in my RSS reader.

I agree that patterns are awesome, but to play a bit of Devil's Advocate... They're restrictive and can be as alienating as word association, but in a different direction. For example, being unfamiliar with those publications, your example of a simple pattern was completely opaque to me. Or, perhaps ...

I'd love to play!

I told myself that I was going to take December off from improv, but then Jon Bolden convinced me that I might be Ayn Rand reincarnated. I'd love to play in Maestro this week (or tech)!
