LOOKING FORWARD TO september

This week I sent my little one off to head start. 

I also did a stage match improv show. It's basically where people are put in groups and each group has a chance to prove themselves as the best improviser and the audience votes for the best group.  We were given a coach.  My coach was Shay👧😀.  

Coaches are volunteers who direct the warm-ups prior to the show. Warm-ups are necessary to help you feel relaxed and get you in the mood of acting and improvising. Coaches also give you feedback on your acting or something specific your working on. Our group 👯was called 'Who do we appreciate?' A fantastic name if I do say so myself.

Before we go on stage, we usually give each high-fives and say things like 'You're awesome, You're awesome" and maybe say something Like 'I got your back.'

We get each other amped up before we go on stage. 

In this last stage match, a person had a lisp and was blowing wind through their teeth and a few other characters had Russian accents, and some characters were playing off something that went on an earlier groups' scene-this gets a lot of laughs because it’s like your Rifting or poking fun at another improv group, in a playful manner of course(like a rapper might do this).

So that was my week. Hope you enjoy. Here is another snippet of a story I'm working on.

***

On a Friday morning in Shakopee Minnesota, an officer and a citizen had a chat.

“Now when you say blue dress?  Was it ceruleun or teal?" asked the cop.

“Teal," said the man.

“Are you sure?”

"Yeah, if it was neon or pink, or even a Pancho.  I think I'd know, wouldn’t I?"

“Well, you mentioned that the driver cut in front of you.  Would you say it was five hundred feet in, or a thousand?”

“What difference does it make, officer?  I braked, she rapped, I rolled, I mean really?! Do I need to elaborate?”

“Well now, when you say she rapped and you rolled, was she rapping Jay-Z style, or Flava Flav? Cause those two styles are quite different.”

“She illegally crossed into the shoulder to get in front of me.  Now, I should think you should go and give her a ticket. In fact, here, I have a video of her rapping, as she accosted me on the side of the road.  She’s pretty good, but no matter, you should still give her a ticket."

“Now,” said the officer, “Would you say she was in heels when she got of the car to rap with you?  Or was she in flats? Because heels can make the braking effect quite unsteady.”

"Oh, forget it," said the man.
