Listening in Improv, and in life, could certainly see improvement from me. After the meeting of the Anime Club, and my meeting the club at McDonald’s, I later visited Denton who had just came from a celebration of Denton’s first improv troupe “Betty Ford’s First Project,” which was held last night, and about which he told me last week, yet I did not bother hearing. Tonight, the Roving Imp resumes shows on Saturdays.
“The booktalk group will meet at 2:15 p.m. Friday, March 29, in GEB 264, to discuss Katherine Boo’s award-winning book Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity.
Boo, a journalist, wrote the book based on her observations, experiences and interviews with the people of the Annawadi slum, home to more than 3,000 ‘undercitizens’ squatting on land officially owned by the Mumbai International Airport. Boo narrates the daily lives of the citizens, whose economy is sustained mostly through garbage sorting, and takes us through the halting and twisting trial that stems from tragedy. It’s actually not as bleak as that makes it sound! The discussion will be facilitated by Sheri Barrett, director of outcomes assessment.
The final booktalk of the year will be Tear This Heart Out by Angeles Mastretta on Friday, April 26. ”
The Zombie Jeep had not been getting good mileage recently, so I went with Denton to air up the tires. En route, we gave a listen to CB radio, and a conversation about fishing for crappie, which concluded, “Chartreuse lures with golden glitter are best.”
