Background:
	After a year in college studying Accountancy, Mark Poa lost his
sense of humor.  Despite what others said that he wouldn't need it as a
CPA anyway, he embarked on a quest to recover his lost treasure.  His
quest led him to Improfanfic, where only a few months of exposure to the
wacky world of Impro led to the
complete recovery of his lost sense of humor.  (Banging his head falling
asleep on the computer caused him to remember that he kept it inside his
closet all that time.)
	Having heard of the Improparty, he thought that it would be cool
to go.  Unfortunately, mundane matters, like school work, kept him from
going.  Until now. . .
	If he can find a transport from the Philippines to Chez Impro
that costs less than five bucks, that is.
