Hey AIC!

"Get Up" is on it's way to Phillidelphia, PA in the morning to perform in the PFIF on Thursday. Give them a "Hey" and a "Ho" as they make their first out-of-town improv trip.

Thanks for the well wishes... Get Up had an awesome show tonight!! Shana & Shannon were really awesome -- classic "Get Up"; a very classy act.

There were people in the crowd (of mostly improvisers) cheering at points in the show. It definately stood out as the strongest show in the set. Several people approached me after the show and told us how much they liked it. Shana said some people told her they'd 'never seen improv like that before!' A couple of people we talked to are thinking of coming to Austin.

Asaf does his One Man Show tomorrow night.

I am super happy to be here and to get to see these imps do their stuff. Very proud of Austin Improv right now.

Get Up does really kick ass, I think.

I dig me some Get Up. And Sara's sound work is a nice polish on their work.

Man, I'm so proud. Get Up is a constant inspiration.

I'm really glad that more and more austin troupes going out into the wide world. It's particularly awesome that this weekend alone, Get Up, Look Cookie, Asaf, and ColdTowne are performing (in Philly and New Orleans).

Asaf's show was GRRRRRRREAT! There was lots of cheering throughout his set and we all (Shana, Jon, & I -- Shannon was on lights) gave him a standing-O, which was then supported by the surrounding audiences!

Hip-hip-hooray!

Fuck yeah, Asaf.

Yeah, Asaf had a great show last night! Austin represented well.

Also, I really dug Zach Ward from North Carolina and his partner (Jeremy, I think) in a two-person troupe called Cajones.
