TCIF: Twin Cities Improv Festival
This festival was SUPER FUN. The Girls were getting along great. The weather was amazing. The stage was really creative. The theaters were full of audiences. The shows were really high quality. And we made lots of new friends. Here are some photo highlights.

Microsoft Game Studios
I went to Seattle June 10 - 13th to lead a team works training for a group of employees at Microsoft Games Studios.
We had a great time. My clients were wonderful hosts and very hospitable. The group, who work long hours under pressing deadlines, took time out to bond with each other as a team. The responses from the participants were great and I'm hoping to be able to come back and work with some other groups there.
The offices themselves were pretty cool. I got to have a tour, but they keep pretty tight security there. I did get to snap this picture with a figure in the lobby.
While in Seattle, I got to see their famous library,
the space needle
and the Science Fiction Museum too. This was the sign on the door of the women's restroom.

OOB West: Out of Bounds Improv Festival and Minature Golf Tournament
Get Up and Girls Girls Girls Improvised Musicals rocked the Out of Bounds Improv Festival an Miniature Golf Tournament in Los Angeles. I was very impressed by performances from The Groundlings, Mission Improvable, B. Heilbron's R. Kelly's Trapped in the Closet LIVE and the always amazing Impro Theater, who did Improvised Tennessee Williams this time. I also returned home as a champion--my team won the Miniature Golf Tournament and I received and honorary dog tags with the word "Pimp" inscribed on them.
Here are some fun photos from the trip:
The Westside Eclectic, the theater in Santa Monica where all the shows were.
GGG outside the hotel, ready for that night's show.
Shannon and me (of Get Up) hangin' out before the putt putt tournament
New Austinite Topping Haggerty teeing off
Me victorious with my pimp cup, dog tags, and friends.
