To ease the suffering, Jesse plunges himself into the Impro community, becoming a dedicated lurker. After a couple of months of this, he realized that perhaps it would be more enjoyable if he actually got INVOLVED in said community. With this in mind, he signed up for Ultra and wrote an episode of that Impro, a crime for which he was tarred, feathered, and tossed into a pit of rabid ninja wombats. Barely escaping with his life, Jesse decided that maybe it wasn't the best time to use the invitation to Improparty that he had recieved. That and the fact that he has the social grace and tact of a drunk water buffalo...but I digress. After a month or so of semi-lurking in the chat room and reviewing every Ultra part exactly seven minutes and 12 seconds after it was posted, Jesse decided to take a chance and head out to sunny California. After all, what cold possibly go wrong?
