You should consider going to the DSIF.

Hello, New York. It's me, Scott Jennings. You may remember me from now-defunct Harold teams or long-forgotten shows or things of that nature.

Well, I'm writing to you today to ask you to consider the Dirty South Improv Festival for your out-of-town improv festival needs. I'm proud to associate myself with DSI and lend my good name to their efforts by directing their two house teams and teaching upcoming classes and putting little flyers on windshields of cars and whatnot, and I wanted to let you all know that this festival carries my personal endorsement, which should carry some weight with you schlubs. This is the organization that's keeping me from moving back to New York for the foreseeable future, so that should tell you something about the quality of the people and the potential of the program and such things, and encourage you to motor down for a weekend and check it out for yourself.

New York has yet to be represented at this festival, which is a shame, because New York is my pick for Best Improv City Ever, so I hope that changes this year. Chapel Hill also happens to be an incredible improv city, with a refreshing point of view and an enthusiastic community and a pure artistic outlook that maybe you've been looking for recently. Now, this festival is sold as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied, but I'm pretty darn sure you'd be happy with it if you took the trip.

I'd be tickled to see some of you guys on stage in Chapel Hill, and I'm sure you'll have a great time performing for the incredible hotties in this area. Oh, did I not mention that Chapel Hill is chock-full of hotties? Well, it is. Yeah, I know New York has hotties too, but Chapel Hill has different hotties, and it's good to mix up your hotties now and again.

Ok, that's all the selling I can do in one night. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have, and if my word isn't enough to do it for you, then hell, maybe Porter agrees. You'd have to ask him yourself, we didn't talk about this beforehand. Can't put words into the man's mouth.

See you in Chapel Hill, land of the hotties,

Scott

DSIF works somewhat differently than other festivals. You pay one small overall "fee" upfront and have everything provided free at the festival.

PERFORMANCE COST
The premium benefit/draw of a Festival is the performance time. It is also the most limited resource (performance time). So individuals can register to take workshops at only $40/person but a performance group must meet the minimum investment for that performance time (1-5 people = $200 :: 6 people or more = $40/person).

**********

DSIF Performance Time - No festival show has played to less than 250 audience members, some over 400. But these audience members are paying only $2-$6/ticket. It is a showcase for your group at a large-scale event and an incredible experience. Some IRC readers should be able to help others understand how much of an adrenaline rush North Carolina improv audiences can be.

FREE STUFF included with your registration -

> Unlimited Access to 6 DSIF shows
other festivals make performers/students pay for shows
> FREE DSIF T-shirt
value: $10
> Two workshops taught by DSI instructors
four hours of instruction by national improv teachers
www.dirtysouthimprov.com/dsif/workshops.html
> DSIF private parties
All ages, cash bar, live DJ

Shit. I forgot to bump this thread until right now, when my friend Zach Ward bumped the main thread advertising the fact that this outstanding festival marches on.

This is no "unknown quantity," my friends. The DSIF will provide you with an audience that you'd have to guesstimate as "in the hundreds, easily." And they will adore you, just as they adored Death By Roo Roo and The McKellogg Report last year. And maybe you adored one of the several Chapel Hill groups that performed in the DCM this past summer.

So I'll bump my appeal to my old friends from New York to get your group together and come down and check us out. Again, I'm sorry for neglecting this until right now, but if you make contact with Zach quickly, you'll get in under the wire. And you'll be glad you did, friends.

Hotties.

Scott Jennings! We miss you, Scott. Everytime I go to a baseball game with improv nerds, someone chants "Let's Go, Baseball!" and I think of you.

I will come to DSI and do a 1 man 8-hour Harold.
