Untrue. Caitlin slept during the PGraph show. Or at least was lying down somewhere backstage.

I only laid down during the children's show. I'm not sure if I slept or not. I was really out of it (mentally).

Ah, my mistake. I will praise/admonish you accordingly then.

Agreed!!!

It's all coming to me in flashes of memory.
Being handed a sandwich by Mike...that sandwich metaphor in Truth Chair...Marc got us throat drops when our voices started to go (it made mine come back!)...Teletubbies voices...Knights Templar and the PTA...Downing a weird 5 or 6 Hour Energy Vitamin C capsule (I think it helped)...not being able to censure some bad habits...Paging Dr. Porter, Dr. Rico...Paging Dr. Rico, Dr. Suave...Paging Dr. Jamaica, Dr. n'mehungry...Dr. Porter, Bowl, or cup?....Best Batman show ever with the perfect "slime" pun at the end...coming in and out of clear consciousness...
and hundreds of other moments.

I'm still recovering from the after-effects.

Of course, if I've forgotten anyone due to the 48 hours of delerium, I apologize.

Also: Joe & Emily, Emily B., Amy, Jon, Adam, Chris, Brad, Sandra.

Oh god, there's no way we're going to recognize everyone that deserves recognition. Let's just say that YOU were amazing and this marathon would not have been possible without YOU.

The whole thing was a testament to the power of a supportive community united by playfulness and risk.

I think Matt said it equally well in the intro of the last show in his great remembrance of the 40 hours and how it was going to inspire his character choice.

I had a great time watching and playing with you all.
Really impressive and made me happy to be a part of the community.

every time i come back to austin for some kind of improv thing it makes me miss it even more. playing with so many different people all at once was such a huge and awesome endeavour, not to mention the fact that in one weekend i doubled how much improv i've been doing in the past couple years. being away from austin and the hideout is painful for me, but this past weekend was truly awesome.

i'd like to echo a big thank you to everyone who helped out behind the scenes, from tech to box, food, door, clean-up, someone would have probably died, like for real, if you wouldn't have been there. so massive ups on that.

see you in just two short months for the biggest most insane Out of Bounds ever.

loves.

There's a followup article by Robert Faires today in the Chronicle, glowing about the Marathon:

Like the meteors they referenced in this last spontaneous tale, the eight improvisers of this first marathon went out in a glorious blaze of light.

Awesome! I saw him in the audience and was wondering if he'd write something.
