united airlines: you suck!!
So I missed my 6am flight thanks to a minor error that escalated into a major, tangled, foul knot. I travelled to Colorado to try to get to Santa Barbara on time to get to this wedding. There were tears, there was epic driving, there was gratitude at the last-week Becky for planting some wedding-ready…

The chances are low I’ll be getting out of bed anytime today. I’m home, oh crap! My last evening with the Seattle Improv Fest on 6/16 was excellent. We had a mega-show. The early show was divided into two parts. The first half we called “First/Last”. Half the group performed “First”: the audience supplied us…

Wow, I missed an entry and feel like I missed commenting on a lifetime of events. The second part of Shishir’s workshop witnessed us pulling together two mini-productions, based on a J.M. Synge play and incorporating all our personal histories as well as Viewpoints work. Phew! Hard to describe here but really exciting and interesting…

Now we’re cooking. Amazing workshop today by an amazing individual. Shishir Kurup, member of the Cornerstone Theatre Company. Please, see the website and see what they do. Cornerstone’s mission and creativity simply fill me with joy. It was quite a day, very intense, very revealing. There were some Viewpoints exercises (I forgot how much I…

Have I mentioned: god bless Moya and Leanne? Not only do I have the luxe lodgings, but Eggs Florentine and an adorable toddler in the mornings? Just stop it! Sandra Hernandes’ Workshop Part Two was intense, odd, fun, confusing! There were some frustrations and subsequent discussions regarding our purposes, what we were intending to do…

God bless Moya and Leanne. I’m now in a quiet, lovely home with two rooms to myself. I might brave the hostel again but right this second it’s pretty blissful to know that I will sleep tonight without trying to ignore the overhead lights shining a foot from my head; moving in my bed, knowing…

I have started a flicker photoset for Festival photos here. So far, some non-person shots. I’ll start taking shots of peeps tomorrow once everyone is bathed and happy and settled in. We got to see the first show of the festival tonight, put on by several int’l people that were here for the past week,…

Am sitting in the common area of the Hi-Seattle Hostel, after having been met, all official-style with sign saying “Becky TheatreSports”, by Unexpected‘s Fred. Was dropped at the hostel. The lobby was crawling with hungry improvisers, all ready to go to lunch. So I threw my crap on my upper bunk (d’oh) and headed out.…

Hooray, I finally meet Evany and Jill last night and have a picture to prove it. But I’m not going to post it here. Sorry! It was kind of a misbegotten night for me. I got lost in a vortex of wrong addresses and terrifying freeways (in other words, just another evening in LA) and…

I’ve proved a minor hypothesis: no matter how early one starts packing in advance, one will pack until the very last second. My difficulty is compounded by having to bring two outfits for two events that will bookend my trip to Seattle: this event and this event. Here is a very 2000s story. I started…
