I've only been living in New York for about 4 1/2 months. It's been an incredible experience. One of the best parts for me have been my improv classes at the PIT. I have met some incredibly talented people and there's nothing better than to be complimented by those you look up to (the ones who don't turn out to be child molesters that is).
Chris is a long time PIT mainstay on the house team Big Black Car and a myriad of other projects. He was my level two improv instructor. Now I could talk forever about how much I love improv and how great the class was but nothing compared to the last class.
We did a group exercise where everybody said something they liked about the person whose turn it was. I was near the end of the line and I have a hard time taking compliments because I'm my own biggest critic, but I was really curious as to what Chris was going to say to me. I was actually nervous to accept compliments. Since I was the youngest (by a lot) in the class, a lot of the people said something about me being like a little brother to them which was nice.
Chris told me that when he met me his first thought was, "This kid is one of us," and that I was really talented and he couldn't wait to see me grow more as a performer.
HOLY SHIT! I was floored. 'Nuff said.
I learned from Chris that I can do this. Also, to remember to invite people to your shows or you won't have an audience :)
