Editor's Note: We here at the DICF blog were tipped off to a potential Myspace hacking and followed a lead to one Chelsea Gomez, of Indie Night fame, now turned amateur-producer of Dallas Indie Comedy Festival. Our reporter on the scene (me: Joel) did not arrive soon enough to see the crime in action, but was there to console the owner of said Myspace page: Chelsea Gomez. We checked the URL for her Myspace profile and it was indeed gone. In an attempt to assuage her woes, our reporter Joel (me: Joel) offered to perform a Myspace Survey with her so she could begin to rebuild her Online Teenage Queen Dream circa 2007. Miraculously, she produced (not amateurishly) a crumbled sheet of college-ruled notebook paper with a survey recently (2025) filled out. She said she completed it last night. What follows is a transcript of this very real Myspace Survey on Chelsea Gomez, submitted in its uninterrupted, unedited entirety for the first time ever.

Blog #3 - What Level 6 Improv Should Be

The number five is nice and round, almost even. If there was one number I would contest should be an even number it’s five! Just look at a 10, or 15, or 20, or 100, or 1025! Solid, brick-like numbers, which is similar to a round, safe even number (think 2, 8, or even 64). So why do programs, counters, and speedometers sometimes stop at increments of 5s? Thinking even further, why do most Improv Comedy Programs (ICPs, for short) halt at a Level 5? I can only imagine it's because 5, as just mentioned, is a beautiful, perfect, serene number.
Sure, this isn’t a nation-wide standard yet, though I hope it will be soon under this new administration, and admittedly there are a few ICPs in LA, New York, or Chicago that only have four levels, or three, or two, or just one. But, for the sake of this blog, let’s imagine a world where an ICP continued after Level 5…what more could a burgeoning and supple improviser learn in a whole new course-level? More space-work? More accents? More warm-ups?

No.

They would learn a deeper way to enjoy consciousness, a way to expand their mind and, hence, playstyle.
