The Improv Marathon

We just completed the 2008 Dudley Riggs Improv Marathon to benefit Gilda's Club Twin Cities

The mission of Gilda's Club TC is "Our Mission is to create welcoming communities of free support for everyone living with cancer - men, women, teens and children - along with their families and friends. Our innovative program is an essential complement to medical care, providing networking and support groups, workshops, education and social activities."
_--And that's pretty awesome.

So here's what we did, 35 groups performed improv over the course of 24 hours... I am a little tired-- there I said it. I am a little tired.

I had a great time, and I think I performed about 8 times, and I hosted for a few hours... I also ran tech and worked the bar.

I missed Fred and Melissa's housewarming party, but I guess that's ok since we raised a buttload of dinero for Gilda's club.

Here are the people I want to give props to:
Josh Kuehn-- he was there though it all, and got a little tricked out on Redbull. He probably should have taken a bit longer of a break.

Lisa Burton: Had Hamluke, performed several times during the marathon, and also worked the bar. Man, she rocks.

Melissa Roberts Beukema-- came in at 9:00 AM on a sunday after she had hosted her first big party at her new house. Wow.

Jill Bernard-- who performed, kicked ass, kept spirits high, and did a one person Drum Machine in the middle of the night to fill a slot.
