[update: pictures from the show i attended! ]

Yes, yes! Rocky Horror DID happen, at last!

I even got all dressed up in honor of lingerie night, with an outfit that i compiled from various sources, all of which will go un-named . And my hot, pimp-my-ride-reject friend was weiring this incredibly revealing corset that complimented her 36d's quite well. In fact every time somebody thought they recognized her but couldn't quite put their finger on it, she would stick her city-renowned chest out and say, "now do you remember?", and they did.

And i was in top-form weirdness all night. From the time we got in line to about 15 minutes into the actual show, i kept getting this odd schizophrenic urge to swallow my cell phone; i actually had to stop myself several times! Luckily i was able channel my sudden oral retentiveness into sucking my fingers and eating the paper hand-outs.

The preshow antics were quite exciting. My friends forced me into being the only male in the Lingerie Contest, so after the first two contestants were greeted with cheers and cat-calls from the audience, i got mostly silence and laughing, and was met and the end of my strut with a female cast member handing me a small sample packet of Motion Lotion, which i promptly stuck in my mouth without knowing what it was, then pulled it out and saw what it was, and then put it back in my mouth.

Then came the Virgin Games, where all first-timers were told to stand up, while the announcer guy asked, "And what do we do with the virgin's", to which the veteran audience (my hot friend included), responded, "Fuck the shit out of them!". They then made us all stand in the aisles and bend over the nearest seat while the cast ran in circles and smacked all our asses. Awesome. Only later i found out those weren't actually the virgin games, and that for some reason they were being scrutinized that night and could't do them properly. So i missed that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Anyway, on to the actual show: The basic jist was that they projected the film onto a giant screen while the live cast lipsynched and performed various interperetations of the movie in front of it. They also occasionally interacted with the screen itself, pretending to get smacked by simple arm-movements and lifting the house up when it blasts off in the end.

There was also an audience response for every fucking piece of dialogue in the movie, which was annoying for the first 15 minutes because i didn't know prompts and couldn't understand half of what they were screaming. but i got used to it and hopefully after going enough times i'll start memorizing all of it.

Also funny was the fact that half the actors in the live cast were the wrong gender, the highlight being Rocky, who was played by this really hot young girl wearing nothing but a golden thong and bra (a female appropriating of Rocky's golden speedos). And i got plenty of good close-up looks while she was chased around the audience by Frankenfurter.

After the show, the cast and most of the audience all hung out at Denny's. I got to meet all the important people, one of whom called me "weird", which is especially flattering, considering... We also got stared at and called "faggots" by the rest of the customers, a joy i hadn't experienced since highschool. Oh, and since i didn't get my virgin V during the preshow, i got a custom job with two lipstick V's flanking my mouth and the word "CUNT" on my forehead, all of which are still there as i'm typing this.

So it looks like i've finally found my semi-weekly nightlife! It was far-giggity-friggin' amazing, enough so inspire my longest and most effortless journal entry ever!

So yeah, be happy for me, blokes!
