これが噂の56インチテレビ

”Haiku!” マークの「天皇」スケッチはばか受けでした。

KITH related goodsコーナー

去年のツアーの際に撮った写真やTシャツやプログラム、まにーちゃんお手製のKITH人形、KITH関連ビデオや雑誌が展示されました。

上映会を色々な意味で手伝ってくれた面々。

近くのライブハウスAREAのニール・イネス（元ラットルズ）のライブを聞きに行くため上映会を6時で抜けたパイソン・オフ仲間とライブ終了後合流し、馬場の居酒屋で大騒ぎ！

と言うわけで、上映会は無事終了。色々反省は有るものの、初めてにしてはまあまあの出来だったと思います。また要望が集まれば、上映会第2弾をやろうかと思ってますので、リクエストよろしく！

The Out-of Towners premiered in Japan on June 10, '00!

アウト・オブ・タウナーズ鑑賞会　詳細

Despite the rainy weather of June, comedy freaks(KITH/Python) got together in Ginza, Tokyo on June 10 to see the movie "The Out-of Towners". Some of them came quite a long way from Tokyo, who said they had to take a day off work to join this meeting! What an enthusiasm!

(LtoR :kith703, YamaRan, Michiko, Mannie(Machiko), Koba, Labo) Asao is not in the pic, but she also came.
KITH fans enjoyed seeing our hero Mark on the screen so much! We were so thrilled and proud to see Mark performing with John Cleese! (On the other hand, Python fans were like, "Oh, that's the guy kith703 is often talking about.""Which guy?""The guy who got his eyes poked by John.""Oh.")

After the movie, we had a WILD par-TAY!!!

21 drunken comedy freaks
I just didn't bother to blur everybody's face 'cause nobody can easily tell who's who in this picture!

The KITH Video Night!!!

After the par-TAY, we went straight to a karaoke place with VCR and watched KITH videos all night instead of singing! Can you see 'irradicator' on the screen? And can you see kith703 was holding a cake, with which they were going to celebrate BDs of the Kids who'd been born in June - Scott and Mark!
Some convinced Pythonians who knew little about KITH also came, and by the time they walked out of the room they got quite hooked on KITH, crushing everybody's head around!(I think)

This is the list of videos/sketches we watched that night:
Mark on SNL (Scottish soccer hooligans, Darril on internet, The Chicken Lady Show, The Real World, Forbes on Forbes, etc)
HBO First Look: Brain Candy
Brain Candy Workprint
Scott/Dave/Bruce/Mark/Kevin on Conan O'Brien show
Scott and Bruce on Tom Green
Bruce and Mark on Daily Show Kevin on Martin Short Show
Scott on Larry Sanders Show
KITH sketches (Japanese Emperor, Tucker tries to steal a car, Mother's 500 jobs, Husk Musk, Irradicator, head crusher, etc)
Quite a collection, eh? Thank you my North American KITH fan friends for kindly helping me to get these!

Tour End Party In Tokyo on Feb 26, '00!

初KITHオフ　詳細

---

The first official get-together for KITH fans in Japan was held in Shinjuku, Tokyo on Feb 26, '00.
On only one day notice, 6 enthusiastic KITH fans got together and had a blast!
They talked about how much they loved KITH, and how much they wanted to go to Detroit
to see the last show of the tour...
But SPIRITUALLY they were in Detroit!

First they talked for a while over cups of "non-decaf" coffee.
Can you see lovely KITH dolls Machiko made?

Then they moved to a restaurant and had bottles of beer saying "To Reg!"
many times and got wild...

And Machiko got choked by a piece of chicken kebab!

To those who couldn't make it, sorry, but I hope you can join us next time!
