Issue: November 19, 2009
Hi everybody,
In honor of our cover story about Empire Improv, for this week’s newsletter intro, the staff and I will write an improvisational piece. Brian: “Wouldn’t that be kind of like rap?” Dennis: “My father was the keeper of the Eddy Stone Light.” Brad: “I kind of wish I’d gotten to participate in this instead of walking in and [unitelligible].” Kat: “Why do you want me to say something?” As always, thanks for reading the paper. If it weren’t for you, we’d have to keep our day jobs.
Thanks,
Brian
