Austin Improv

Just want to put out a huge thank you to everyone involved in the festival this year, the volunteers, performers, and patrons.

A special shout to the staff who make it easier every year for everyone as we slowly learn how to make it better each time. I am certain no other producer in the country has such a dedicated crew of people working for so little in return. These guys make it happen and the festival, and hopefully the whole scene, is stronger for it year-round. If you enjoyed OOB this year, please let them know next time you see them.

outstanding job, folks!!

::applause until hands bleed::

I HELPED TOO! But I got payed A LOT of money. Suck it, volunteers!

Yes, also a thanks to the Submission Panel, who I stay mum about for fear of retaliation and corruption. (sorry i appeared to forgot you, bill)

Also, I have to add Adam Trabka who produced the ColdTowne Marathon and Jon Bolden who kicked our web site's ass in the teeth.

Great job you guys. Simply amazing.

Plus, every year I seem to get to play with new and interesting people from faraway lands. Last year - Impro Melbourne, this year - Three Falling.

Next year I'm looking forward to playing with a musical improv group from a country that ends in "stan", or maybe from Oz ( I hear munchkin improv kicks tiny, tiny ass!).

Whew! Y'all have a beer and relax for a bit - you've earned it.

No, not the submissions! I helped build the scaffolding and I bought a cake.
