“Why should I come to this meetup?” you may ask.

Well, maybe you should and maybe you shouldn’t. It all depends. Do you want to:

Learn and try the classic exercise of thinking on your feet in a casual, low-risk environment.
Have a blast keeping an interesting story going with off-the-wall ideas.
Explore the possible connection between the skills you can pick up with improv and the skills useful for meta-success, e.g. Accepting the situation at hand, Being Specific, Building on opportunities.

And as always, Do you feel like:

Getting specific feedback and positive reinforcement on valuable habits of good thinking and success.
Receiving empathy and support for struggles with akrasia and intellectual integrity.. and maybe brag a little after you’ve won the battle.
Hanging out with just generally awesome people? (We certainly do. Which is why you should definitely come!)

Any of that interest you? All you have to do is:

Show up at Kafeneios Coffeehouse on March 8th @ 3pm * (258 W 3300 S, Salt Lake City)
Find us near the center of the first big room. I’ll be the one with the whiteboard.
Bring your observations on what you’ve been up to since last meetup, if you’ve got any to share.
Leave your politics, or other ideas that you identify with or are emotionally invested in, at the door.

Thank you for your time, and thank you for being part of the most fun, engaging, and all-around rewarding social group I know.

If you have any questions or if there is anything at all bothering you, please don’t hesitate to message me. And please err on the side of asking; it costs little to address your concerns if they’re trivial and costs a lot to ignore them if they’re not.
