Planes, Trains and Automobiles Part 6: Fall is Upon Us!
DENVER! The Mile High City...Boy did I feel that. I'm out of shape. Man, living in LA you don't get to have seasons and the first thing I noticed in Denver was the trees and the colored leaves. It was fall. As I sit back at my computer in the 90 degree heat right now I miss Denver more than ever...But I will say this, I miss it for more than just the weather.
This festival was amazing. The Group Mind Foundation has a wonderful mission to try and support the improv community and the Denver community. They put on this lovely festival which was at the Voodoo Comedy Playhouse and workshops took place at the Bovine Metropolis Theatre. They did a great job and it all paid off because both nights were sold out.
One of the amazing experiences I had was being able to play with the local improv peeps. I was put on the Denver All-Star team and let me tell you it was AMAZING! I felt like I knew those guys for years. We had such a fun show and performed in front of a sold out show. I was so lucky to be able to have that opportunity.
Things I learned in Denver:
I love improvisers
I miss Fall weather
Voodoo Comedy Playhouse is awesome
The community out there is great
I love my campers they are really amazing people
David Schultz is my doppleganger

The Group Mind Foundation makes me happy
