Austin Improv

HEY SARA!

She is a phenomenal teacher, improviser...and an even better person. Personally, she's done so much to include me in the improv scene up here -- she's just outright generous. Go take her workshop -- it'll reaffirm why you do improv.

"Trust us..." is showing at the MSP Int'l Film Fest this weekend, and I was able to catch last night's showing (it'll also run today.) The director, Alex Karpovsky, has a nice following up here since one of his movies was set in Brainerd, MN. He was also on hand to introduce the film and do Q&A ...

Hey you two -- have a great show when you come up to the Twin Cities this weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing you represent Austin so fiercely this weekend.

xo,
mac up in the twin cities

Probably among all of my teachers in improv, Miles was the most math/logic based teacher. After having Charna Halpern for Level 1 who was a big bowl of warm fuzzies and anecdotes of past students, he was a definitely a bucket of cold water. For us in Level 2 he was a stern task master, who drilled ...

The eyes of St. Paul, MN (or at least mine eyes) are watching the Lone Star State to lock-it down for Barack Obama.

I had sent out the e-mail below to some friends and family right before Minnesota caucused to share why I was supporting Barack Obama.

Oh man, I miss Austin big-time now. What great workshops!

I totally totally affirm and recommend David Razowsky's workshop. (Most likely its because he teaches everything that I think that I'm teaching in workshops, except he's much more graceful). I was in his masterclass at the Twin Cities Fest ...

Awse. Thanks for getting me hip to this.

cool. thanks for sharing. loved reading about summertime in wrigleyville, and your enthusiasm and insights.

Thanks for all of your help with the restaurant recs. We ended up only have enough time for 1 dinner out, and that ended up being... The East Side Cafe. (mmmm...Smoked Salmon Pasta)

Which was quite excellent. Both vegetarians and us omnivores were very pleased with the selection and the meal. Plus ...

Wow! Thanks so much for these great suggestions! Instead of hogging all of the glory for myself, I'm gonna go the "transparent" route and pass the thread onto my co-workers. That way, they get to see first-hand how supportive the improv community is...

I'll be in town from May 1st to May 4th, and I ...

Hola Austin,

I'll be coming back to Austin for a work gig in early May. I'm looking forward to fronting my Austin credentials as I point out the Hideout and el camino casino. However, I need ya helps -- some of my co-workers on this gig are vegetarians. Where can I take 'em out for some good non ...

Sweet!

My guys are gonna make another run at it, so I should be down the Austin way in February for the audition.

I think we gotta earn our way in even though my guys won the Dallas (Southern) Regional last year.

Start prepping now, y'all -- it's gonna be fierce.

Andy is a champ. I appreciated how he provided me incredibly reasonable rates to allow me to do my workshops up at the Hideout. And better yet, he just committed fully to participating in them.

I remember in my last Austin workshop, he and Andrea Young did this awesome scene as a brother and ...

oooh, i want that poster! where can i get it?!
