what's it worth if it's free?

A photograph in mostly brown, beige and yellow hues depicting fourteen folding chairs arrangedd in a circle on a carpeted floor as seen from above. It looks like an AA meeting but it also looks like a Mercury Improv class. You might be surprised at how many similarities there are between the two.
Fourteen is just the number of chairs you needd, apparently.

New Improv for Introverts session starts Wednesday! (see below)

Thanks to those of you who chimed in with thoughtful comments about the free class; they were very helpful. On Wednesday I just threw caution to the wind and let 24 people sign up and a little more than half of them showed. It was a really great group and we had a fine time and it made me want to keep doing these, so maybe just emulating an airline and drastically overbooking is the way to go.

The most common observation I got was that people don’t value something unless they have to pay for it, which depresses me but is probably true.

So FINE, here’s a class you can pay money for! The latest iteration of Improv for Introverts starts Wednesday at the Justin Lane location. The next one currently scheduled starts six weeks after that, but why wait? FUN IS HAPPENING WITHOUT YOU, DON’T LET IT.

Right, that’s it. See you soon.

Till then,
John
