Kula = funny.
Also, though, I agree with what Jane is saying across the board. Well put.
I think that every performer should tech something at least once because then you realize how fucking hard that job is... but also, I think that tech people, especially in improv, have to gauge the energy of the performers and not the audience to black stuff out. True, the booth is the 9th player on the team - and in my opinion the most important... and I know that at UCBT the tech people are truly respected and appreciated.
