Full SF live KITH report!
Tahitian Tee Hee
It all started Sunday afternoon at Virgin Megastore. I nervously
approached the throng gathered at the empty stage. There looked to be about
50-70 people there by rough estimate. After a while waiting as the DVD
documentary played on the monitors, finally Mark turned up. Just Mark, though.
He told us that Kevin's flight was late, Bruce was busy watching a hockey game
and that the hotel staff called the cops due to Scott's heated domestic strife
with his own contact lens (why do I get the distinct feeling that this incident
will be humourously commented on in "Buddy Babylon II"?) Anyway, Mark was glad
to answer any and all questions, he's really cool. Plus, the mini-throng at the
Virgin store were treated to free tickets to the 11 P.M. show plus passes for a
"meet & greet" after the end of festivities. I'm glad I went! At the end, Tavie
finally found me, and introduced me to Rynn, Atlanta Steve and the whole crew,
basically. Much of the afternoon was a frenzied mass of introductions to
NG-ers, most of names I've sadly forgotten. But the whole afternoon was really
cool.
Our first action was to sprint down Market St. to the front door of the
Warfield to be the first in line. We ate and went to the bathroom in shifts so
that someone would always be keeping our place (and watching our stuff).
Considering we had two and a half hours to fill before the doors opened, the
time passed remarkably quickly. The gate was built around us. Eventually, folks
started lining up and in the end we were let in. We found front-row seats
straight away, and apart from some minor annoyance from Creepy Guy (I was
half-tempted to start flirting with him just to get him to leave us alone),
eveything turned out cool. On to the show itself:

It totally kicked butt! First, the video loops that played during the
seating period make me yearn ever more for a DVD, and I don't even own a DVD
player! Most of the outtakes aired during the video loops during the last tour,
but there seemed to be some new ones. Does anyone know what skit the bit where
Dave and Kevin are wearing Hawaiian shirts is from (Kevin has a ukulele hanging
from his neck)? That one's driving me nuts! They also included filmed bits used
on the 2000 tour (the cops shooting the Little Orphan Annie look-alike, Scott
and Dave's whore characters, etc.) but without sound, plus a chapter of "The
Brick Testament" from thereverend.com (check it out, it's hilarious!) and clips
from "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up
Zombies" and a documentary on bats (huh?).
Some of the skits they did (not necessarily in order of appearance): Rusty
(from the pilot episode) ("I'm sorry, but I couldn't wait for my cue any
longer!"), Chicken Lady's Date, Pit of Ultimate Darkness (Un-Normal Mind), an
unforgettable Buddy monologue featuring a guest appearance by Kevin and Dave's
couriers du bois characters, "Is he?" (Cathy/Kathy), Flag-Waving Machine (with
the Money Momentum Guys), Headcrusher bit with a digital camera. Danny Husk
giving a speech to a convention of Vice Principals, a little "crossover" sketch
with Darill (as a guidance counsellor) giving a lecture to Gavin, Citizen Kane,
Running Faggot. At the end of the 8 P.M. show, they did "Nina From Joymakers"
as an encore, and yes, it was incredible with Scott's frenzied
balloon-destroying at the end. There were also some more filmed bits like "What
They Were Doing When They Got The Call" ("Now, that's not exactly a question,
now, is it?") and a bit with Dean ("Slipped my mind") apologizing for the poor
quality of the show (Oh Dean, if only you knew!)
During the Headcrusher sketch at the 8:00 show, I noticed someone's foot
on the edge of my chair, beside my shoulder. I thought, "How rude!" and figured
it must be Creepy Guy trying to irritate us some more. It was only when Mark
trained the camera in our direction that I realized the owner of the foot
was...Kevin! That's right, Kevin McDonald had his foot on my shoulder! How cool
is that? Just one of the many cool moments during the show.
"Rusty" during the late show was delightful, with Dave really struggling
to keep it together...and apparently having quite a hard time of it. The fact
that Scott lost one of the buttons on his blouse may have had a lot to do with
that. ("You're staring at my breasts, aren't you?")
The meet-&-greet went well. Dave, Mark and Scott were there. I got my
fabled and venerable '93 YYZ airport sign signed by three of the five Kids, and
even got my photo snapped with Dave. Dave is nice, and my admiration of Mark
has increased tenfold, but I think my experience with Scott was most special of
all. Upon seeing my sign, he shouted out, "Stinky Pink! Hey, look Mark! Did you
see this? Stinky Pink!" He said it was a "cool and obscure" reference, and that
there were early plans to include the sketch in the live show. That just about
made my day. It would have been nice to have had experiences with all five
Kids, but I imagine Kevin was plum tuckered out after his flying experience and
Bruce...well, I'm sure he had his reasons and I respect them, whatever they
are...
All in all, I'm really glad to have met three Kids and a bunch of very
cool NG-ers. I am in total awe of you guys, and you all rock. Seriously and in
the best sense of the word. See ya online!

I got to meet Mike and Tavie (and three other also really nice people,
including semi-lurker Natalie) at Virgin!! I ran up and introduced
myself when I saw Mike's "Stinky-Pink" sign. I ducked out though
because it seemed like I came in the middle of a conversation, and I
didn't want to be rude. I looked around for you later, but I wasn't
able to hang out in front of the Warfield since we were meeting
friends (and we all had assigned balcony seats).

That's so great that your long-awaited mission to get your sign signed
was accomplished!! Thanks for the long, detailed post. It's so much
more coherent than anything I am capable of right now. And it was
great to see you and Tavie, et. al, in real life, even if briefly---
you seem like a bunch of sweethearts!

He's being the responsible one again!

A little birdie (okay, a little birdie named Tavie <g>) told me that it was
Dave who was watching the hockey game, and Mark said "Bruce is an asshole"
to explain his absence. <g>
So, Kevin's the only one with a GOOD excuse! (I mean, really. A hockey game?
<g>) I love that Mark gave it to you all straight. I like picturing this
setup, too. It's the Mark McKinney Press Conference! Or, perhaps a cozy
Fireside Chat with Mark.

ROTFLMAO
That is so Scott, I can't stand it! You couldn't make this shit up if you
TRIED. He's so divalicious.

Awesome! See, now THAT's the way to treat the fans! Smart idea, too, to
invite you all to a meet & greet to make up for the absence of the other
four.
So glad you got to meet some NG-ers, too. Meeting other fans (especially
when it means putting faces to names of people you converse with regularly)
really adds to the experience, doesn't it?

Yeah, Scott! :D
That would have been amazing. Stinky Pink is certainly high up on my long,
long list of favourite sketches. There are some nice moments of physical
comedy in that one, too.

Amen!
Thank you for your report, Mike, I really enjoyed reading it! Brought back
all kinds of wonderful memories of seeing the show, and almost made feel as
if I had been there. :)

I like the way you think. ;) If he were to choose this fireplace to chat in
front of, we'd let him have the La-Z-Boy. The afghan, too! And the run of
the computer-- we'd just turn Hedwig on to distract Tavie long enough to
pull her away. <g> He could partake in birthday cake and knitting with the
rest of us, and I'd add his toes to my toenail painting tab! Mm, how
snuggly.

My favourite thing about this is that I had sort of thought Mark was joking
when he said it at the Virgin, but then it was repeated later in the night by
others... it was TRUE. It was TRUE.
Of COURSE it was true, but it's still hilarious to me that I'm surprised by
that.
> Anyway, Mark was glad
>to answer any and all questions, he's really cool.
I wish I could remember more of the questions and answers. Most of them were
pretty conventional. "Where's Bellini?" (In Toronto) "Will you crush my head?"
(Sure) "Where did you get the inspiration for head-crushing?" (he told the
story) "When's the PPV special gonna be on?" (three and a half months) "Could
you please repeat the questions before answering them?" (Oh HEY Tay-tah-tay)
Oh, another great one was "How old were you when you first put on a dress?"
Mark said that recently someone in his family had found a picture of him as a
little kid dressed up in... oh, I wish I could remember, his grandmother's furs
or something? (He turned and said to me, "I should send it to her so she can
put it on the internet." DO IT! DO IT! DOOO IIIIIIIIIIT!!!!)
Oh, and "What did you think of Star Wars?" That's when he said that Kevin had
waited three hours in line to see it and reported that it was utter crap. The
crowd cheered? Or was that just my wishful imagination filling in that detail?
<g>
Yes indeed. It's even more frustrating that they're played without sound. the
thing with the sock puppet, especially.
>and clips
>from "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up
>Zombies" and a documentary on bats (huh?).
I can't tell you how much I love the fact that you know the NAME of the movie
that those clips are from. It's so you. It's so Stinky Pink. <g>
> Some of the skits they did (not necessarily in order of appearance): Rusty
>(from the pilot episode) ("I'm sorry, but I couldn't wait for my cue any

Holy crap, that was great. I loved during the Monday show, the whole bit where
Rusty pulls the remote from in between Helen's legs.

>on the edge of my chair, beside my shoulder. I thought, "How rude!" and

>it must be Creepy Guy trying to irritate us some more.
Did I mention how much I HATE Creepy Guy? The thing that really did it for me
was that right before Headcrusher came out, I felt/heard some commotion from
behind me and looked around and saw that Creepy Guy was making Kevin autograph
his Brain Candy poster for him. That made me so fucking pissed off, I almost
told him to stop it. He continued doing it when the house lights came on, and
Kevin looked really disturbed and nervous about it.
I really hate Creepy Guy. And didn't he say after, something like, "Oh, Dave
Foley signed my poster, but he didn't make the other guys come out and sign
it!" Uh, yeah, that Dave Foley sure can be a bastard sometimes, going out of
his way to sign something for you and then not forcing his colleagues to drop
what they were doing and do the same. You asshole.
Anyway...
>It was only when Mark

That was FUCKING BEAUTIFUL.

I love it when they're all trying to keep it together. That's when Rusty got
particularly antsy, causing June to ask, "do you have to pee, son?" and Rusty's
reply, "In a way..." which was Rynn's favourite ad-lib of all three shows. <g>
> I got my
>fabled and venerable '93 YYZ airport sign signed by three of the five Kids
I am so impressed by that sign, man.

I LOVE IT! What a reaction. "Hey Mark! Did you see this?" That's the reaction
to beat all reactions, I think.
> but I imagine Kevin was plum tuckered out after his flying experience and

LOL. Dave's excuse for Bruce? "He's an asshole."
I laugh and laugh and laugh.

Aww... the LA-Z-Boy AND the afghan? But where will *I* sit? <g>
Just kidding. Of course The Great Sir Lord Mark of McKinney gets the La-Z-Boy.
I imagine us all sort of sitting around the floor at his knee, gazing up at him
while he tells stories.

Fuck no. You'll have to pull the plug out of the socket, because I sure as hell

or whatever it is that he plays. <g>

The question that made me prick up my ears was the one asking if KitH

Does that mean they have some kind of infernal, alternative plan ? I'd
love it if they'd do an independent movie.

ignored. <g>
Mark said, "Not for a studio."

Kevin thought it was incoherent and disjointed, right? The movie made
sense to me, but I didn't like it very much. It was beautiful to look
at, but it made no impression on me. It was emotionally flat and kind
of dull in places. It was better than Episode I, but I don't think
Lucas has mastered the art of making a movie for kids that adults can
enjoy too.

Hi all, I still have 623 posts to read in here before I can say anything that I'm
sure hasn't already been said, but just a few notes (a rant, really) on Creepy
Guy. Before the show started we saw Scott dancing in the wings. Creepy Guy ran
over to the stage with the idea that the Boys in the Band would just walk out
onstage to sign his poster. Didn't work. Creepy Guy then said to me, "Hey,
you're cute. Can you get the Kids to sign this for me?" I said, "What, are you
kidding me? Why would I do something for you that I wouldn't dare do for myself?
Besides, how is it going to look when they say to me, 'And who is this to?' And I
say, 'Bubba'." (Creepy Guy really looked like a "Bubba", whereas I do not.)
Having struck out with me he then went around pestering everyone, including
security people, ushers, the bartender, and two girls sitting behind us. As a
matter of fact, that's why he was sitting in Mike's (Stinky Pink's) seat, since it
trapped the unsuspecting girls nicely. It took me more time than it should've to
convince him to get out of Mike's seat. I don't think Mike particularly wanted a
conflict, but by this time I could see that Creepy Guy might just decide that
Mike's seat was now his own, and not only would Mike lose his (front row) seat,
but I'd end up sitting *next* to Creepy Guy, and there was no way that was
happening. So then the show started and I thought it was over, but Creepy Guy
just kept right on going. Not only did he pester Kevin-as-Lorelei for a
signature, but he talked loudly throughout the show, even saying at one point,
"Hey, I want to get a picture, but it's too dark. Someone make them turn on the
house lights!" Judging by his social skills, I don't think Creepy Guy gets out
much, and I'm sure the world is a better place for it.
Ok, rant over. It was great meeting Atlanta Steve, Sarah C, Brent (Sarah's bad
joker), Lea's Matthew, and Stinky Pink, and it was great seeing Tavie and Lea
again after all this time. Who did I forget? Speak up!
And by the way Tavie, I'm sure Rynn can tell us what Mark said at Virgin. Always
on the ball, that Rynn.

posts read and come back. <g>

Seriously, it could have been ugly. Judging by previous outbursts in similar
situations, I might have killed him had I been there. Or, I would have sat
on my hands and seethed internally. Either way. <g>
Great to see you here again, Puddin'! Stay awhile, whydontcha? :)

Why, the floor, with the rest of us! It'll be cozy-- a pile of goils resting
atop a pile of pillows in front of the fireplace.
Heck, if Mark doesn't come, let's do this anyway. I miss Christmastime. <g>
(Also, the tufon still remains, of course. ;)

Yes, exactly! Stories like, "Scott and the Contact Lens That Got Away" or
"What Happens When You Agitate Foley Before a Show." <g>

Okay, you're right. I suppose if we invite him over, we better get some
stories out of the man. Although I think I would be just as content to watch
his gaming technique. <g>

LOL! I forgot about that! You mentioned this dream at the Buddy show
because, at the time, I had silver toenails. I have this image of everyone
staring at my toes for a split second embedded into my mind. How weird.

And I think you're the one to make it! :)

If it didn't, we're just going to have to try *harder,* dammit. <g>

Ooh, you're bad with names? Well, I'm bad with faces, so we'd make a great team.
No offense taken, of course, just slow catching up on my replies.
Thanks for the sympathy, Maggie. I needed that. I felt WRONGED by Creepy Guy and
no mistake.
And another SF show note that I didn't see mentioned. Feel free to correct my
report since it was weeks ago by this time and I'm trying to remember. One of the
Kids said at the end of one of the shows, when they were doing their thank you's
to the audience, "You know, we feel a kinship with San Francisco. Maybe because
we have something in common with you. People think that just because you live in
San Francisco that you're gay, same thing with being a member of the Kids in the
Hall. And you all know that only one of us is gay." :::pause::: "Kevin!" Kevin
walks forward, "acknowledging" that he's the gay one. Someone (maybe Dave??)
says, "That's right, we're going to be serving slices of this after the show!" as
he pats Kevin's ass. Anyone have a better memory on this than me? Anyone?

I don't know how this one could have slipped my mind, but thank god you've
documented it here for all time. Of course I remember that now, Kevin stepping
forward to acknowledge his homosexuality, Dave patting his ass... it was, like,
funny-overload. I couldn't hold onto it after it was over.
