[...] ImprovEverywhere’s Charlie Todd, who I’m connected to in an odd way that falls between friend and fan. It’s a parasocial relationship, but since I’ve met him and he returns my phone calls or e-mails I’m allowing myself to call dub the “Causing a Scene” author a “virtual colleague.” I was struck with how well he does media, and I attribute that to his experience as both an improv comic and advanced teacher of the discipline. Todd, in fact, was who encouraged me to enroll in the wildly heralded UCB Theater in NYC. I’d later, sadly, become an improv-school dropout because I lost my financial excuse to visit NYC weekly and my dad died. But I’ll do it again. [...]

I really love Anne Curry, and can’t really figure out why.

@4 ditto, they were cool in the beginning. Getting old fast.

Love it. Musical theatre in real life is so funny.

I hardly remember Cop Rock though.

meh, I thought the first few were great in the beginning, but it kinda got old fast which probably means it would be a big hit on TV with behind the scenes clips and rehearsals – These sorts of things remind of a violin concerto, more fun to play than listen to.

just to show you how grumpy and antisocial I am these days, I walked into the other side of town grocery store to pick up some food for dinner when upon entering I noticed some local tv personality in the veggie sections filming something or other – he actually smiled and waved at me like he knew me – I nodded back, smiled with a quick wave and grabbed a cart when I realized he was standing right in front of he avocados which is why I went into the store in the first place – this pissed me off. A crowd gathered, the produce employees were drooling and I quickly headed to the other side of the market to preserve what’s left of my 15 minutes until they left. One thing I did notice, tv people look better on tv.

anyone here think they look better on You Tube?

Improveverywhere looks like a good time. I need to get involved with that band of social outcasts. Sort of like WVFF.

I think the most brilliant part about it is getting a security guy / mall cop involved. Just when you think they’re busted, the conspiracy turns out to be even more awesome.

Those improveverywhere videos crack me up. There is no way in hell I would want to actually participate in it, but I enjoy watching them.
