    Sex Dungeon for Sale!
    I found a weird/hilarious book that should appeal to fans of KITH. Sex Dungeon for Sale! features a bunch of wild short stories. The title story is about a real estate agent trying to sell a house with a sex dungeon and it gives new meaning to the term "Rumpus Room." One features the dude who sang "Rico Suave" selling his kidneys to support a $100-a-day doorag habit. My favorite was the self-help guide story, "Chicken Soup for the Kidnapper's Soul". It was hilarious, short and only ten bucks on Amazon.

    Wensink sound kind of like Chuck Palahniuk or Kurt Vonnegut writing an episode of KITH. Totally out there and awesome.

    :(
    As some of you may remember, I used to be a very active part of this community. I have been feeling extra awful for not being around to show my spirit.

    K! I! T! H! Nothing out there rhymes with H!

    GOOOOOO KITH!

    I'm super excited for Death Comes To Town.

    Current Mood: thankful

    Kids stuff up for grabs
    I have spare copies of the program from the Tour of Duty tour ('02? Or something?) and Bruce's first album, Shame-Based Man. I'm asking $12 for both. Any takers?

    BzzAgent
    I don't think I posted this here but I created a Kids in the Hall BzzScape on BzzAgent. It's like a Facebook fan page where people can post things related to the subject (in this case, KitH). Feel free to sign up for BzzAgent if you want to post anything to the BzzScape.

    I lost my drum, but found an article...
    This is an interesting article about films that originated as sketch comedy, and it mentions the Kids.

    On IFC (the mention is on page 2!)

    Interview with Dave Foley AKA Bobby Fargo

    Interview with Dave Foley AKA Bobby Fargo

    August 31, 11:52 AMLA Comedy ExaminerAndrea Kittelson
     

    In an attempt to understand the man that lurks beneath the façade of Bobby Fargo, "The Sensible Traveler", (catch Bobby’s illuminating travel tips on babelgum.com) I posed a few central questions.

    So that I could comprehend the full breadth of Dave Foley’s obsession with safety (and hence Bobby Fargo’s words of warning) I posed the questions in a bunker just outside of Ottowa. Neither of us was drinking except for me because I don’t really care if I die or get hurt or embarrass myself, which will become, as you read on, rather evident.

    Andrea: What inspired you to make Webisodes?

    Dave: I was deeply affected by a near death experience I had while holidaying in France. It was summer. I ate a fromage baguette for lunch one day and was struck down with a horrible case of food poisoning. I was lucky to escape with my life, and, ever since that day, it has been my mission to warn others about the perils of travel.

    Andrea: Are you a long-standing Web enthusiast, or were you lured into doing Webisodes?

    Dave: I am a huge fan. I started that whole craze. Al Gore, who is not present, laughs. But no, everyone's turning to their computers and phones for entertainment. It seems like a logical place to have a show these days.

    Dave Foley stars in new web series

    Dave Foley stars in new web series


    dave_foleyAre you one of those people who goes into a panic before a big trip? Don’t you with there was someone you could turn to for detailed safety tips on how to plan for the smoothest trip possible?

    Look no further than The Sensible Traveler, the new web series starring Dave Foley, of News Radio and Kids in the Hall Fame. Think the anal rententive chef with less A.D.D. and more frequent flyer miles.

    Naturally, The Sensible Traveler’s tips never work out as planned. Case in point: Episode 1, “Basic Safety Prep,” viewable here.

    More on Death Comes to Town... and.... a concern
    Globe and Mail's article on Death Comes to Town, which started filming today in North Bay. Lots of excellent new (to me, anyway!) info about the series, including the scheduled first air date on CBC in January.

    Now, the scary part:

    the Kids will play multiple roles - freely cross-dressing - including a pizza delivery woman with Alzheimer's (McDonald), a 600-pound ex-hockey player who won't leave his house (McCulloch)

    600-pound ex-hockey player.
    Now, unless Bruce has gained a HELL of a lot of weight since I last saw him, this means Fat Suit.

    I am terrified of fat suits. Terrified. I can't look at them. Some people are afraid of heights, spiders, the dark - I am scared of fat suits.

    Kids in the Hall spinoff shooting in the city this fall already seen?
    Posted By JENNY POTTER, THE NUGGET
    Updated 16 days ago


    More than 130 local actors auditioned this weekend for a chance to act alongside members of the Kids in the Hall in an eight part miniseries being shot in the city this fall.

    The series, called Death Comes to Town is a narrative comedy that takes place in small town Canada and is set to air on CBC.

    Project coordinator Lucy Veale said they had actors as young as seven and as old as 80 audition this weekend.

    She said the turnout was great and most likely helped by North Bay’s already strong theatre community. She said the main roles will be filled with the Kids in the Hall, but the rest, most of which are speaking parts will be taken from those who auditioned this weekend.

    They even found some unexpected talent among parents who had brought their children to auditions.

    Patricia McVicars thought she left the television and film industry behind when she moved back to North Bay from Toronto a few months ago.

    McVicars, who had spent 10 years working various jobs in film found herself at the auditions Sunday morning.

    “It was so serendipitous,” she said. McVicars, who has worked on a variety of projects including Degrassi: The Next Generation as a tutor, was excited to see a project like this come to the city.

    “North Bay has such a fine community of actors,” she said.

    Though Jennifer Tocheri has acted in films before, she wasn’t getting her hopes up.

    “This industry has a 90% failure rate,” she said.

    Tocheri was bitten by the movie bug years ago after acting in student films in her hometown of Thunder Bay.

    “I’m happiest on set and around creative people,” she said

    Having recently lost her job, she jumped at the opportunity to be in another production.

    If anything the experience is something she can take with her and help improve her skills.

    “My goal is to take more classes and build my way up,” she said.

    Kimberly Montgomery, 12, had her grandmother bring her to the auditions at Holiday Inn Express, Sunday morning. Though she was a bit nervous, the audition process is nothing new to her. She had already been to casting calls in Toronto for commercials and taken acting classes through her modeling agency.

    Kimberly said she likes watching actors on television play different roles and wants to try it herself. Kimberly is inspired by singer and actress Miley Cyrus and said she often goofs around with her sister at home singing along to Hannah Montana songs.

    The production will start filming in August and will wrap up in October.

    “Instead of dressing up Toronto to look like a small town we decided to shoot in one, and North Bay is not far away,” Veale said.

    Crews have been in North Bay this past week driving around the area scouting spots to shoot. They already have a few places in mind from Sturgeon Falls to downtown North Bay and in between.
