Austin Improv

Posted: **August 16th, 2012, 12:04 pm**

I created a Facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/events/484776434868994/

On Wednesday, August 22, every single improviser in Austin is invited, encouraged and implored to post something (ANYTHING) on the Austin Improv Forum. http://forum.austinimprov.com/

-As a celebration of a community that has spawned too much improv.
-As a way of getting connected in anticipation of Out of Bounds.
-As a way of building new relationships and online conversations.
-As a way of figuring out exactly how many of us there are.

So at some point next Wednesday, take a moment to sound off on the forums, introduce yourself if you're new, start a new thread or conversation, add your two cents to an existing discussion, tell us what music you're listening to, write a new chapter for Wu Yun, or start a flame war if you really must.

But I'm only Facebook friends with a fraction of the improviser in Austin. Can you invite everyone you know to participate in this?

The Wu Yun thread might have an interesting day…

Will this crash the forums??? Will we finally get an imp headcount? Does anyone care? Stay tuned...

So I didn't read the details and I assumed that the day was TODAY and I was like "man - that plan failed horribly". BUT I WAS WRONG!!! It's the 22nd!!! And I'm definitely posting!

Shorthand tally: Went through facebook and tallied folks who were active at TNM in the Austin area (as of a few months ago) About 90 folks.

I'm a little in the dark since a new generation has been coming up since my trip to LA. And a handful relocated. There could be as many as 30 or 40 taking classes right now who I've yet to meet. Perhaps Mark or Amy Pacheco would be up for a more thorough tally in the near future.

That's awesome, Jesse! I'm only Facebook connected to a fraction of those people. Can you social media encourage them to participate in the mass posting on the forums tomorrow?

Great idea!

Which one "counts"?
