This is a pen.

And to counteract the LJ-suck

Well, in the great Hard Drive burgulary (good luck learning linux, fucking cokeheads), I lost a bunch of images. So here I present one of the ones I had the foresight to host for some reason or another:

Probably some kind of hunting lodge for Rich Weirdos

The Rich Weirdos was Vancouver's monthly Rocky Horror Picture Show cast from May of 2000 to New Year's, 2001. I was a member of the cast, and was thrown in at our first show as a Brad.

Sadly, I had no bow tie, so one of the members of the Portland cast (Dr. Scott in the back) showed me a cheap Brad-trick: Folding an American $1 bill as a bowtie, and attaching it to your neck using spirit gum (note how the bowtie isn't attached to the shirt... beheheheh). So I made do.

It was a fun show. But eventually when Louie (Riff-Raff) went to New York for the summer to work at a music summer camp (He later would show us videos of him and his Devo cover band from the camp) I got to take over as Riff for the summer. After Louie came back, he did a couple of shows as Riff but later showed a keane desire to play the Criminologist (Just so we could slowly strip away his clothes as the night wore on, so it appeared at the end all he was wearing was the book), so I took over Riff duties.

After we were kicked out of the Varsity theatre in Kitts for lack of attendance we had three crazy sellout shows: One at the Plaza theatre on Cambie, and two Hallowe'en engagements at the Vogue downtown Vancouver. I didn't participate in the first Vogue show (it was actually our second, but I wasn't in the first one either.... I had school until 9:30pm and the Vogue shows were at 9, and the first one was while we were still performing at the Varsity) but I was there as an audience member. Then I reluctantly accepted the role of Riff in the last Vogue show we did (and as of today, the last ever Rocky Horror Picture Show performed by the Rich Weirdos of Vancouver) in 2002, with the stipulation that I get to at least have some part of the MCing of the event. I got to read the rules. It was totally awesome. I got the entire audience shouting back the rule numbers at me, yelling at me "FUCK THE RULES" and so on and so forth....

If you've never been to a Rocky Horror Picture Show, you really don't know what you're missing. Next Hallowe'en, find out where one in your area is playing. Yes, there will be one.
