Howdy improv gang. It’s been a few weeks since Decoster debuted and I have been furiously drafting new tidbits for the site, but being the procrastinating perfectionist I am, they have taken more backseats than a 1950’s chearleader. So in the interest of time here is a breif runddown on the last 3 weeks in bulleted form:

• Raynard, the all new rookie Harold team, debuted at UCB to a solid start. The group shows a strong line up of all new faces, and the return of Amber Petty formerly of Beatrice and T.R.U.C.K.S. They are made up of new performers to the theater, some of which have only just completed 501. I am expecting great things from Raynard, especially as they grow as performers. Students should be especially aware of this group.
• Twelve Thousand Dollars, the all new more seasoned Harold team, debuts the week after. Made up of experienced indie improv performers, belonging to groups from Sherpa and Machine Wash Tuxedo, the team shows amazing poise on it’s first night. Each performer is incredibly strong and has incredible stage presence.
• Sadly, one of my improv groups, Joe Loves Hobos, is disbanded after enough members decide that never having a bad show is reason enough to never have another one. RIP JLH.
• Under St. Marks cooks with weekend indie team performances of Rogue Elephant, Sherpa, Moonshine, Shark Tank, and the debut of Bad Data. I am reminded how much I love USM as a performance space.
• UCB Harold Night features the one year anniversary of fwänd, the team created with the remaining members of Mailer Daemon, who performed a death Harold.

Not a particularly interesting post by any stretch, but a post none the less. Perhaps I will expand further, perhaps not. Now that I have a blank slate to write more… expect more silence.
