sorry ryloc, can't trust these darn computers!

Apologies for that post of mine. I closed out of the window by accident, and didn't think anything was sent. My COMPAQ got a lil' freaky on me, apparently.

I graduated spring '99, brother! If you were in the theatre department, I'm sure we would've run into each other. Otherwise, with 30,000 other undergrads, it might've been difficult. :)

talking w/hands in nervously energetic way...

Hi. My name is Anne Nodar. I grew up in Marietta, Georgia. Yeah, I know...I don't have a Southern accent. I live and work in NYC as an advertising copywriter. I actually like my job, especially when I get to write copy for Hummels. I perform in improv/sketch come troupe "Toast" and study/take classes with the UCB Theater.

I'm technically not a practicing Catholic anymore, but sometimes I like going to church.

Hi everyone

My name is Dan Telfer.
I studied and assisted improv classes with Marty DeMaat at Columbia College Chicago and went on to play at the ImprovOlympic Chicago for three years. I managed to play with many brilliant performers during my time at IO, but sadly my lot in improv was to merely become "that guy who performed with everybody good". Don't ask around, they won't remember me.

For a while I was such an improv nerd that I became known as the "scourge of the IRC" on the original IRC message board. I had no job one summer and spent most of my time ranting and being retarded with far too many posts. I have since finished college, have a job, and since I was generously ushered into improv retirement my scripted acting and playwrighting gigs have taken off. I have acted in three of their plays and become a company member of Theater Oobleck (who have produced my workshop play "Ugly Friend"), had two of my other plays go up in Chicago in the last year. In the middle I've been doing Shakespeare, solo performance, and working on my own fledgling theater company, Toastgun.

I ghost on this board often, as in I read but don't write. Thought I'd say hello, though.

:wishy:

-Although as of 12-11 it seems I've become an addict again... heaven help me...

Hi Dan. this is Joanna and I believe I got into it w/ you on one of those retarded rants once. Aside from that, I remember you from I.O. and elsewhere.
At any rate, it's great to hear you're off and rolling.
:rolleyes:

ROCK, YOU.

Oh my god! Your sarcasm SCALDS me!!

Hi Joanna! I remember you, too. The tall, lean seductrees with curly black hair. Of Tequila Peepshow and Steel Kitty, if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, I would rant out of sheer desparation for human contact. But I remember I didn't know it was you until late in our "arguement", and then I felt guilty because I knew Joanna Buese was a hip and attractive person. And one of my cardinal rules is DO NOT PISS OFF ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE, THEY WILL DESTROY YOU.

I'm joking, of course, but I'm being hypberbolic, not sarcastic.:rolleyes:

I'm doing fine, thank you...

:worm:

I'm Rachael Mason.

I moved to Chicago from New York with Jed after Skidmore.

I have not seen him since.

So sad.

I tour with Second City now and am glad to have this job.

I used to play with Jane, The Lindbergh Babies, Preponderate, and Genealogy at IO and currently play with Baby Wants Candy and The Road Show (Le Groupe).

I had the most fun at the Annoyance doing WWW.com All Over my Face and Gulch: The Lesbian Western, not to mention Donkey Improv.

I believe firmly in the supreme brilliance of David Bowie and have not seen Young Frankenstein enough times yet.

I am thrilled to have known the like of Fey, Pohler, Dratch, Raj, Stack & Miriam, Mullaney, Jed, the Besser, Payne, Grondy and evey one else wiht whome I've had the pleasure of standing around with.

Tee hee.

Hi....

I'm Macha.

Have taken level A at Second City (toronto) so am beginner at improv.

Currently I am living an hour from Toronto. Almost done my university degree. My studio art degree is really one quarter studio art courses, one quarter art history courses, and one half electives from all kinds of other subjects,

After high school I was living in Toronto doing the starving artist/ and part time professional model thing. At 23 I came here(armed with student loan) to do the starving student thing...

Main interests are acting, art, and am getting into playwrighting/screenwriting. May revive modeling career for $ to pay off student loans...and hey it beats the other work I am qualified for!
and ASAP am going to take more Second City classes

Hi - my name is Jim. I've never done anything beyond making my friends, and the occasional one night stand, laugh. Honestly. My boss is starting to get pissed off. He hasn't had an orgasm in years.

I fear standing up in front of people, and I clam up when people expect me to say something. I specialize in the inappropriate. I am the master of mumbled responses when I'm in a group of people I don't know, and can be quite funny in the company of friends.

I'm not all that creative, and most of the laughs I get are from the sheer inappropriateness of whatever it is that just flew out of my mouth (I already said that I was inappropriate, didn't I?). I have to keep stuff random, cause my audience consists of the same thirteen people. Making them laugh with the same algorithm over and over is a pain in the rear.

However, I am going to be taking an improv class starting next week, and I am looking forward to it. I'd like to see if I can break out of my shell and start sharing my banality with others. In fact, if someone actually pays money to sit in front of me and yawn, that would be just friggin great...

:almost falls trying to sit back down after realizing there is no chair behind me:

My name is Brendon, I figure since I've been reading this board for a few months I might as well sign up though I don't expect I will have a lot to say (check the no. of posts thing to verify that this is true).

I live a long way away from everyone.

Oh and I really want to try out one of these smileys :wishy:

My name is Eric Appel and I just moved to NYC (actually, about 12 miles outside in Jersey) from Pittsburgh. I was in the Pittsburgh improv troupe, Riot Act but have only been doing formal improv for about a year. I always made improvised movies with my friends back home but I never thought anything of it.

I visited NY in march and saw ASSSCAT for the first time, so I knew I'd have to come here and take the improv classes soon. I grew up on Thundercats and Diffrent Strokes and I am a leo.

Since I've been living here (one week) I've seen 4 shows at the UCB (John3:16, The Swarm, May I Help You Dumbass? and The best of NYC sketch) and I loved all of them. I will soon be taking the level 1 improv classes.

I am going to try to get in to a Sunday class at UCB in the Fall, and am anxious to learn more Long Form and Commedia style improv.
