And then there were none

Today was the last day of the improv festival, a very bittersweet performance. We were all ready to be done with the constant performances, but we had so much fun with it. We couldn't wait to perform, but it was Zak's last show with us before he goes on a sabbatical to focus on school work. We decided to make the most of it. Jen and I carpooled and showed up about 10 minutes before call time, so we spent the time putting our things in the green room and doing last minute mysterious lady things involving makeup, mirrors, safety pins, and giggling. We sat in the front row with the other troupes for the same orientation talk as we had on Friday night, then roamed around Union Station for a bit before settling in our seats for the show. First group was Exit 16 out of Liberty, a talented group of high schoolers. Then we saw an amazing set from makeshift Militia, then after intermission it was The Hypothetical 7's turn to take to the green room and warm up. Weird how both my groups went third in the shows. We had a pretty okay set. After us was Comedy City. I'd never seen them perform before...interesting. I'm not into sports themed things so much, but it was a cute faux competition format. We took a group shot then Hype 7, accompanied by Julie and Carl, went to Aladdin's Cafe to toast (with hummus!) to a great evening, great friends, and a reluctant goodbye to a very talented guy.
