Gillett & Sutton - and a lesson on Lactose...

The dynamic duo. Stuck together by a love, nay, infatuation, with cheese.

Oops! One more thing...

Hey, SFITers!

No one mentioned this tonight en masse, but there is a karaoke afterparty on Sunday night at Hula Hula!

Address is: 106 1st Ave N Seattle, WA 98109 (at 1st ave and Denny)
Phone # is: (206) 284-5003

Hope to see you there!

Quick Capture experiment

We tried the "Quick Capture" feature on YouTube for the hell of it tonight.

In our first attempt, the audio was mysteriously overmodulated and distorted (turn your volume down now):




We searched for settings and options to no avail for the second one but then just decided to talk more quietly...

Oh. SFIT. Oh, joy and wonder - deep thoughts. Festival take-away. Smiles. Laughter.

It's called PRE-SHOW.

1pm on a Saturday at SFIT, workshop time.

MMMMmmmmmm the delicious smell of knowledge.

Stop, music - what's that sound?

Wondering what that groove-a-licious music is in all of Headmaster Leeni's blogs?

It's a song called "Dance Monkey" by local band called "Man Party".

Check 'em out on MySpace and support the local music scene while you are in town supporting the improv scene! Click the logo to hear more sweet tunes!

Friday night, 8pm, the HUT: Austin peeps preshow!

I caught up with some peeps who journeyed here ALL THE WAY from Austin, TX for SFIT!!! I know!

Here's what they had to say!



And if you have suggestions for Asaf for the name of his one man show, email editor@yesand.com. But don't suggest "The Asaf Ronen Show"...cause I already did that. And he wasn't impressed...

Thursday, February 19th: Opening Night at the Market Theater!

Hi there! Conor and Keli here from The Beta Society. We are reporting in from the Market Theater in beautiful downtown Seattle's Pike Place Market. Unexpected Productions puts on several high-caliber shows here every weekend and, along with Wing-It Productions in the University District, is co-hosting the 2009 Seattle Festival of Improv Theater.

It is Thursday night and SFIT 2009 is gearing up! Time to meet some of the improvisors who will be making this year's festival memorable!

Thursday, February 19th: Backstage before the show

The actors are very serious.

Very, very serious.

They are serious before a show and they need to prepare and hone their craft.


Here is a taste of the life of an actor PRE-improv show at SFIT:
