Forward

4 months in.
I have accomplished a fair amount.
I'm on a DCT team at the iO West Theater, RIGGINS
http://ioimprov.com/west/io/teams/riggins

I am working at 200 S. La Brea casting studio.
Where I have a set day I work.
I got a raise in a month.
I'm meeting/working with a lot of great people.

I have a video sketch group, BBQ COMMITTEE
who has been featured on the front page of Funnyordie.com


Have an improv team TIGER BEAT who puts on some of the most fun shows
I have been a part of in a while. No pressure, just fun people playing together.

Aside from Tiger Beat, three of us have a 3 person group we accidentally named
STICKO BLANKO. We do patient and hilarious mono-scene style improv.
We'll be putting on more shows, I'm sure.

I am a part of two writing groups, which causes me to work on a lot of different
things.

I'm coaching an iO Class team we have dubbed "Spaceman's Promise".
I'm working with them on Detours and they are getting great at it.

I live in one of the shittiest buildings I've ever lived in,
but it's not forever. I know that.

I owe a lot to all the friends I have here. I've gotten so much advice and help every step of the way. I'm lucky to be surrounded by so many wonderful people.

Los Angeles is great.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

California Home

I don't post on here anymore.
Who has a blog? Isn't Twitter and Facebook the place to be?
What are you, some kind of jerk?
Los Angeles has been great to me. The secret to making it work is to have a bunch of friends who move here first. Let them get the hang of it and then when you get here, you don't have to make the dumb mistakes they made right off the boat! Also - remember you have to get shit done for yourself. Nobody is going to do it for you, dummy.

I don't think I've ever gone this long without seeing live music. I think the last show I saw was Priory in Portland before moving... 7 months ago? Yikes. Who the hell am I?

I have made some great friends. Got on a new iO dct Team and am writing more than I ever have. It's good.

Here's something from the video sketch group I'm a part of, I co-wrote and acted in:
