I've taught people in improv classes, then watched them move to Los Angeles to become Emmy winners and movie stars.

Sometimes I get gigs in weird, artsy places because weird, artsy people embraced my public-access show, which I could only have done in the way I did in New York.

I know there are many things California can offer - personally, professionally, meteorologically - that New York can't. It sounds awesome.
