The kids in the Hall at the Star Plaza Theatre, April 4, 2008
The Kids in the Hall tour day 1 Merrillville IN April 4, 2008.
I thought the show was great, and that it was great that I got to see the very first show of the tour. The place wasn't very full so Im sure that affected the guys a bit, but even though the place wasn't as full as it could have the response was great.
The sketches Im pretty sure went in this order. Though I think they changed order a bit from the Merrillville show to the Milwaukee show. But, im not sure. Anyway here is the order of the sketches...I think.
1. Rape Kevin- Intro Video
2. Hateful Baby
3. Buddy - Jesus was gay?
4. Salesmen- Gut Spigot
5. Kevin's 3 Quarters written song
6. Time Traveling Drunk- Time Machine
7. Catching up with the Kathy's - Kathy's Tweeking
8. Mark's Monologue
9. Imaginary Girlfriend is cheating
10. Chicken Lady phone sex
11. B-Day BJ
12.Gay Couples- Professor
13. Grade 8 dance or 8th Grade dance
14. Time Machine- Hitler
15. Super Drunk
Encore
16. Headcrusher sketch
I was so lucky to see these sketches when they did them in Hollywood at the Steve Allen theatre. A couple of them were written by Bruce when he did the Bruce McCulloch Project at sketchfest in '07. Like, "Rape Kevin"(though It wasn't called Rape Kevin cause Kevin wasn't there), Super Drunk, Tweeking(though it wasn't with Kathy and Cathy).
Ok, so after the show, we stood in the Lobby for a bit trying to get a feel for what others were doing, and see if we could find out where or if they were going to meet and greet. Non of us were feeling too much like asking anyone so we decieded to just go out and find the bus. So as we were walking around the building my friend Tony saw that some of the guys were inside. But when we tried the door it was locked! So we walked around to another door and Tony saw someone so he decieded to knock on the window. The lady was nice enough to let us back in. We get to where they are signing things, and as soon as I see Dave I freeze. Like I always do. You would think I would be used to going up to them, but I am not and I don't think I ever will be. So we stood there waiting to talk to Dave, and I encourage my friend Marie to talk to him. Yeah, i know what you are thinking...."why didn't you talk to him?!" Cause im a chicken shit. So we stand there all nerves, and Marie has her moment with Dave. I won't go into it cause if she wants to tell the story I will leave it up to her. :) So yeah, all I do is get my ticket stub signed, and my friend Ashley takes a picture of Me, Marie and Tony with Dave. At some point this drunk guy was annoying Ashley and he was asking her if she wanted to take a picture with Dave. And she said, "No its ok." This guy didn't realize that Ashley only saw the show a few times and she barely knows who these guys are. But, he got Daves attention, and asked him if he would take a pic w/ Ashley. So I took a pic of them. Anyway so I think they were all in the lobby at one point but I think when we got there it was just Dave, Mark, and Scott. I really wanted Mark to sign my pic that Jamie took at the Steve Allen Theatre, but by the time the fans were done, the guys had to leave. This lady was saying that they had to go. So as Mark was about to leave my friend Ashley yelled, "Mark, can you sign this for my friend please!" Then he ran back up the stairs and said, "Yes, cause I doubt we will be asked back here." Don't know what he ment by that. So, he Takes my pic to sign is about to sign it in the black sharpie that he had, then he asks, "Wait...Do you have a silver sharpie" So I hand him the silver sharpie, and he signs it, I tell him thanks. Then as he was about to leave this lady deciedes that she wants to crush his head, and all I hear from Mark is a groan! Yeah, im sure hes sick of hearing it. My friend Ashley while we were waiting to talk to Dave just walked around and took random pics of the guys. She got some really good shots.
Im really glad that we had the Milwaukee show after this one, cause I never got to thank them for coming to see me for once, lol. So we had a second chance to talk to them the next night. But not all of them, I still have yet to talk to my Bruce! ;)
A pic of us in front of the stage! The security guard was nice enough to offer.
Dave and Ashley! This was when the drunk guys got Daves attention. He so looks like a deer caught in the headlights
Marie, Tony, Dave and Me! I think Angie took this pic, or was it Ashley. Its all a blur.
Ashley took this pic of me watching Mark sign my picture. He was really nice to come back and sign it.
