Beginnings

Tina, Yes and..., Del Close, fatigue, "Will I make it on to TourCo?". Ah, memories. So much has changed at Second City since you've left. There's a Starbucks attached so everyone can pretend to be a screen/comedy writer in Chicago, there's an abundance of people in running shorts because there's a Fleet Feet next door, there's a brightly colored yellow chair outside the new wing of classrooms, and more importantly they're opening a Chipotle downstairs. The only thing that hasn't changed is the effervescent feeling of creativity and joy you get every time you enter Second City's doors. But what I want to know is what it is like for you back in the day. The good and the bad. You're so secretive, gosh Tina. Tell me why I've got to hear, and I'm assuming the story I heard today was about you, from someone else. Because it was hands down one of of the most endearing stories I ever heard and I can't share it. More like I won't share it in respect of you and the people involved. There's nothing incriminating, but it's one of the advantages of going to Second City, hearing "before they were famous" stories. It's one of those stories that remind you of why you do what you love. Since I won't repeat the anecdote, I'll just post this video.
