Hey there, Improvised Star Trek listeners. This is Chris Rathchin. We don't have a regularly scheduled episode this week, but it is going to be coming next weekend. In the meantime, here we've got some news for you and a chance to watch a video bonus scene of us. First the news, there are three upcoming opportunities to see us live if you're in the

Chicago area.

The first is for the Chicago Nerd Comedy Festival.

Coming up March 19th through the 22nd, Improvised Star Trek, is appearing Friday the 21st

at 9 p.m. at stage 773. Next chance to see us is our regularly scheduled

show at I.O. Chicago on March 28th. And following that, April 4th, we are appearing in the Chicago Improv

Festival. Details for all of these shows and opportunities to buy tickets are on our website and our

Facebook page. Also coming up is a chance to see us in person at

ChaiFiCon, the new Chicago science fiction convention. Their first full convention will be next year,

but there is a special one-day event at the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago on March 29th.

And if you come by, you'll be able to see some of us there manning a table and talking about the show.

If you do intend to go to the Chai Phi Khan, you can go to their website and get $5 off your ticket by entering Improv Star Trek as a coupon code.

We are still taking submissions to our poster contest. Your IST fan work could be posted around Chicago to promote our shows.

Details for that are on our website as well. We do make a habit of thanking those of you who have

written iTunes reviews for us. I am sorry to say that we have let two Stitcher reviews fall through

the gap. Improvised Star Trek and also be listened to on the

streaming service Stitcher, so I want to thank both Allie P and Howard M, who wrote very kind

reviews for us. Really appreciating, guys. While we don't have our regular audio bonus,

if you'll check the comments, there is a link to the Chicago Sun Times. We recently did an interview with

them for the Chicago Nerd Comedy Festival that included us doing a brief scene based on the

suggestion coffee. So follow the link in comments and check that out. And as always, thanks for

listening.
