Rocky Horror at The Palace: bring your props
Wanna do The Time Warp again? For 5 bucks you can dress up (or down) tonight and see The Rocky Horror Picture Show at The Palace --the way it was meant to be seen.
Sure, plenty of places will be screening Rocky Horror in the run up to Halloween, but not many will let you bring the props that, lets face it, make watching The Rocky Horror Picture show--well--watching The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Here's a list, courtesy of the folks at The Palace, of props that WILL be allowed:
Rice
Water pistols (but not super soakers)
confetti
toast (without butter)
flashlights
rubber gloves
party poppers, party hats, noisemakers
newspapers
playing cards
Sounds like a recipe for a good time--unless you're on The Palace maintenance staff.
Heads up--for $20 you can get your trip to Transexual Transylvania and dinner at
The Victory Cafe.

I'm not going to this because I get depressed when I see transvestites with better bodies than me. And then I have no choice but to go home and sob into my 3-layer chocolate cheese cake. Alone.

So sad... I've been wanting to go to a "real" showing for years, and I can't make it tonight. Know of any more showings in the area between now and Hallowe'en?

As a "Rocky Horror virgin", I am soo psyched to check this out! Too bad there's no list here of what to wear though..

@Pantaloons: "...transvestites with better bodies than me"
I, for one, voted for you this weekend, but there is no way you were going to beat my dad.

Sebastien, are you still on this "Pantaloons is really a man pretending to be a woman for the sake of attention" thing? If so, I'd like to introduce you to my child, who I gave birth to 8 months ago. Perhaps you can explain your clever theory to him later after I get done nursing him.

PS- the AOA advertisers are now serving me with pampers ads. They either know I'm a mom, or they are accusing me of being a baby.

You got me: if it's not on The Interweb, then it doesn't exist. Ergo, if it is, it does. Logic, I has it (almost). So yes, your child is real, and I can't wait for him to meet mine. I gave birth 2 years ago, but had him raised by a pair of mongooses because I was too busy posting on AOA. Good kid though. Can kill a cobra.

Sebastien, I am so confused by the first 3 sentences of your last post. Why are you talking like a drunken Yoda?

@James, here's what we found. There are two showings on Halloween night, one at The Linda Norris Auditorium at 11PM (prop friendly) and one at The Spa Little Theater (Home Made Theater) in Saratoga's Spa State Park. Leave your toast at home for the Saratoga Showing . While they encourage audience participation, they're not allowing props.

Thanks... I hope I can make one of these!
