Spreading the Transforming Power of Improvisation

As my new job settles down and I'm not traveling anything like as much as I used to I decided to take the opportunity to go back to 'school'
After hearing Mick Napier chatting at the Chicago conference I decided to get some of his style of training so I signed up for classes at The Annoyance.
I'm sitting in the classroom with the dozen or so other newbies starting to introduce ourselves when someone walks in that I recognize.
It's Joey Greene.
Anyone who has been to a conference over the last few years will know Joey. He leads the volunteers each year, making sure that the conference goes smoothly for the organizers and participants.
In fact he and I have been trying to make some time to chat about food planning for Portland but we keep missing each other.
So clearly he decided the only way to get to me was to stalk me.
He must have either tapped my phone or hacked my e-mail and seen that I was signed up and managed to get himself into the same class.
You have to admire the man's dedication!
Now I'm sure there will a chance to play a scene with him in class soon.
Mick's teaching is all about making a strong choice and sticking to it.
I wonder how a stalker character might play out.

See you all in Portland

Every time I've been stalked, I've responded by following the stalker around for a while - essentially stalking them back. Does that classify as a strong choice?
