Friday Rocky Horror had a special promo deal with FestEvil. We performed most of the show in the pouring rain. It didn't really suck as much as it sounds, though. I was the Crimmie and had to pass out flyers when I wasn't on stage. After like, the second Crimmie scene, the wind blew away the "Happy Birthday, Rocky" tag. I saw where it landed and had to jump down to get it. The rest of the show I was trapped outside because I didn't want to crawl through this little window onto a table. Yeah, that probably doesn't make sense to anyone who wasn't there, haha.

Some creepy guy wouldn't leave me alone. I was trying to be nice and chat with the people watching the show while passing out flyers, and some guy misinterpreted my friendliness. He wouldn't stop talking to me. Then I went and talked to some other people, and he came up to me again. Seriously now, it's my job to talk to people; it doesn't mean that I want to fuck you. He was asking where I lived and how old I was and other personal questions I didn't want to answer. I just gave him generalized answers to everything and then tried to talk to male cast members so he wouldn't feel comfortable approaching me again. It must have worked because he was gone after the show.

Saturday was name out of the hat night at Rocky Horror. I was so excited! I came dressed as Crimmie. I was hoping to play either Eddie, Rocky, or Janet, all of which were drawn in the first 3 turns. I ended up with Magenta, a role I would have never considered playing. It was pretty fun, though. DJ/Eddie was Frank, Matthew/Frank was Riff Raff, Alexis/Magenta was Janet, Amy/Columbia was Rocky, Ryan/Rocky was Crimmie, Toni/Brad was transie/Dr. Scott, Amanda/Janet was Brad, and Jessie/transie was Eddie.

I originally drew Crimmie. I was like, wtf, I am not playing Crimmie! I drew Magenta the second time. The whole show I was asking Kelly and Matthew what to do next, haha. It was fun doing opening dance; I never ever get to do it, and I like doing it (even though Im not that great at it). I liked how there was no pressure to be perfect in the role. I wish we did this theme more often, but I think its only an October thing. Oh well.

Next week its a Saturday Night Live theme, the 16th we dress up as a celebrity, the 23rd is your own Halloween costume, and the 30th is a traditional show. I wont be there for the 23rd, but I think Im Crimmie for the rest of the October shows. Yay for themes! Im not sure if Im supposed to keep the specifics on the down low so I wont get into them.
