Rocky Horror Picture Show

[Janet]

Leaford has made me laugh with "dammit Janet". I am a RHPS virgin. I've only seen it on TV. Would love to go to a live showing with a fellow e-smoker and smoke our peace pipes during the show. Gotta find one though. Most of my friends and family do not smoke and the ones that do make fun of my e-cig. I am kind of afraid to go to one of these things though. Anything scary happen to any of you RHPS fans?

Hey Janet, I've got something to say

Don't buy a ticket for the front rows, it's where all the hardcore fans sit and is awash with rice confetti, water pistols and gorillas in basques and suspenders. The audience constantly interrupt the proceedings with stock replies to nearly every line. If you want to join in the fun, check out

Badmovies.org Audience Participation Guide for The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

It's huge fun. The only thing that might wreck the show is if the cast aren't hard as nails. It ain't easy to carry on working in the middle of all this chaos. Last time I saw it the Frank N Furter dude (David Bedella) lost it big time - threatened to have a particularly good heckler thrown out. Didn't stop the guy, and I doubt if the audience woulda stood it.

enjoy

Emp, went to the link you so kindly provided. I had no idea! Now I'm really scared! And now I must study a script. Dammit. And I am not wearing underwear in public. Can you get away with just wearing regular clothes? Are there any different "rules" for those of us in the USA?

When I first saw your name, that's the first thing I thought too. Oops.

Hey Janet

so you don't wear underwear in public, huh? Top banana! (my avatar has exactly the right look on his face right now)

All of this stuff is just for the front rows. Believe me, they're half the show. Balcony seat or rear stalls are perfectly safe viewing areas. I put the link in just so you'd know what was going on - it's all optional participation and there'll be enough people joining in that you won't feel out of place just watching.

Emp, in the US, it's the actual Rocky Horror PICTURE Show. The movie. With Tim Currey, Susan Sarandon, Meatloaf, and all. No live cast, no balconies, just crappy small screen movie house seating.

Janet, don't worry, you won't be expected to dress up or know the lines. You're still a virgin.

 

[TheEmperorOfIceCream]

Ha gotcha!

It's live in Ohio in September / October, and in California through October / November

Experience The Rocky Horror Show LIVE! in 2008

I keep an eye on these things...

Thanks guys for making me feel better. I'm not afraid anymore. Emp, you are sooo funny, although I have gone without underwear a few times in public. Shhhh!

LOL Emp, I almost spit my coffee all over the place.

 

[Janet]

Hey everybody, I added an avatar! It is a real person, but it's not me - is that still considered an Avatar? Also, I found a place that does live performances in my area. I read a little of their forum, and it seems like a lot of high school kids. I will be disappointed if I'm the oldest one there. Gotta find someone to drag along with me.

 

[dnakr]

I'm in VA but if I were closer I would go with ya.

 

[Janet]

OK, I don't know what I did wrong, it's not showing up!

testing testing

 

[Janet]

Grrrr. Why God, why?

 

[TheEmperorOfIceCream]

dunno - I can see it if I view your profile - great avatar. Of course it's allowed (unless Lauren Bacall, James Dean and Sonic the Hedgehog really are posting on the forum)

You added it as a Profile Picture, not an Avatar. An Avatar is displayed on your board posts. A Profile Picture is only displayed when your profile is viewed.

 

[Janet]

I went back in to my profile and tried again. It worked! Yay!

Thanks dnakr for offering to go with me but VA is a long way from Akron OH. I don't know anyone who uses e-cigs around where I live. I've never even seen another user. I think it would be fun to go to a theater or play and smoke my e-cig, but it would be even better if I had a fellow e-smoker with me. My cousin who is my age is going to go with me. We have been friends since we were little and she's not likely to be offended by RHPS like a lot of my family would be. I just hope we won't stand out too much as two "old ladies"!

Don't worry about it - just go and have fun. Give your cousin an e-cig with zero nicotine and you will then have an e-cig buddy.

 

[Janet]

Thanks for the suggestion dnakr. Maybe she'll bite. I wanna make sure I have an e-cig that works like it's supposed to though. And I don't trust them yet!
