Every Kansas City improviser who had a blog was supposed to post about the same topic. I'm afraid that mine is going to be short and sweet.
The question or theme is supposed to be: What are the best and worst things happening in KC improv?
The best: The continued growth of the Kansas City improv community through collaboration of groups and individuals.
The worst: The egocentric attitudes of groups and individuals.
Elaboration below:
Collaboration helps because new groups and new individuals are exposed to better shows and different formats, and because we don't have teachers and coaches like other cities, this is their only form of learning.
Egocentrism is bad, because it hinders collaboration and learning mentioned above. We are all striving towards the same goal, I really think the festival, thunderdome, and City3 has really helped people get out of this horrible mentality, or soon will, when they see the success.

Oh, c'mon...elaborate!
You don't have to name names...just more details, please. How does "ego-centric" hurt us? Why is collaboration good? Inquiring minds...
Agreed... I feel really overblown now... maybe I need to go back and delete about half my post.
Come on Keith!
It's OK, John...Pete wrote more than both of us. Combined.
More words=good. So don't you f-ing dare.
We Want More!!! We Want More!!!
See? Was that so hard?
There's still so much more that can be said. Keith, you can flesh it out more than 8 sentences can't you?
