Yesterday was a long improv day. Started with an unfocused Latchkey Kids rehearsal. Our coach forgot it was Thursday, so we did a crappy warm up and a not great run through. Then we hung out at K24, which was a lot of fun. Headed to iO at 7 for the last Level 6 class. We combined both classes (Monday had missed Labor day, so Craig had them make it up the last day). We had a pizza party and Craig gave evaluations in front of the class, which was really cool. Jeff Passino continues to surprise me. When we had Harold auditions, he brought daisies to all the girls. Last night when we were having our evaluations, he said some really nice things. Not just to me; to a few people. He definitely won the sentimental award. Craig passed out diplomas and we each had a nickname at the bottom. Mine was Lady Risk-Taker, and it was based largely on my X-ecution crash.
After class the Semi-Awesomatics had a mainstage cagematch show. We knew there was no way to beat the guys we were up against, but we were hoping to have a good show so we could tape it for future submissions. We ended up having the best show we've ever done, including rehearsals. It felt so good! 90% of the audience was there for the other team, but that was kinda nice. There was no pressure. We just had fun.
So, I'm now officially a graduate of the training program at iO. I have a ton on my plate at the moment, so it's really nice to have one thing knocked off. We have our last class show Saturday night, with the option of 4 more. I can't imagine people would turn that down, but it's still nice to know I only have, at max, 5 more performances. I of course am sad that I won't be performing with the wonderful people in my class, but it's nice to see the light at the end of a jam-packed tunnel.
Thank you, iO. You've given me a lot. If it wasn't for you, I would hate LA and would have moved to Austin months ago.
