You know that moment when you realize, suddenly, that you're in love with someone? Your eyes meet in a way they've never met before, and for a moment time stands still as your soul stretches outward in yearning for a chance to brush against theirs?

Superbest (Mike Bass, Brian Coleman and Tyler Korba) have wowed gamers and posers alike at the Del Close Marathon in NYC, the Dirty South Improv Festival in NC and their hometown haunts in Washington DC.
