On the Brighter Side

[bohonato]

I feel a little weird posting this, as every other post is about really serious and heavy shit, but...

Last night I went to Rocky Horror at Meadowbrook and had the time of my life. It was amazing. They put it on as a play, so it wasn't the movie (but was written by the same guy, Richard O'Brien, who also played Riff in the movie). They did an awesome job.

I was pissed at security. They confiscated 5lbs of rice (I'm not kidding) and four pieces of toast from me. Oh well. I stayed after the show and managed to get backstage, and met all the actors/actresses and band. It was an awesome night. Except some virgins didn't get the idea of audience participation. They were annoying; one even told me to shut up. Ah! virgins.

I spent most of the day in Ann Arbor, which was crazy by virtue of the U-M and Notre Dame football game, by enjoyable nonetheless. I managed to sleep in to 2 p.m. today, something I have never done in my life. I rarely sleep into 11 a.m.

All in all, I had an amazing day, opposed to a shitty-ass week. My boss told me that I would be fired if I did not get a haircut. I'm searching for a new job.

Does anyone else here Rocky Horror, or used to? I find it to be a great escape and a blast to boot.

Lightning Rod - What did you guys think of it? It seems that either people really like it or really hate it.

I forgot to mention in my post that in Ann Arbor I went to an exhibit on pop art aptly entitled "Pop!". It was held by the University of Michigan Museum of Art, and was completely free. It featured the work of many artist including Roy Lichenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Tom Wesselmann, Claes Oldenburgm, Robert Indiana (best known for his work "LOVE", which they had), Richard Hamilton, Eduardo Paolozzi, and of course Andy Warhol.

Since Warhol is a personal favourite of mine, I dwelt more on his works, which included all of his soup cans, Jackie Kennedys, Liz Taylors, Marilyn Monroe, some Death and Destruction, and Brillo.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G to see the real things.

I saw the movie about twenty five years ago. Saw it with a my niece and nephew. They went to see it every friday night at midnight for over a year. My nephew went as Dr Frank N Furter he had the custom down to the smallest detail. I had a great time.
I don't know if it is still showing.

"Hot patootie, bless my soul, I really love that rock `n roll"

weird Michael I must have really loved that movie cause I only saw it once over 20 years ago but it feels like I saw it yesterday.

On the onter hand the movie Pi, I can't remember much about it and I saw it last month.

i went almost every saturday midnight for about a year

we would dress in drag, smoke dope, and throw rice, but i don't remember ever bringing toast

and they never searched us for booze, dope, or rice, either

[bohonato]

At dinner, Frank proposes a toast to Rocky, and you throw toast. Strangely, only one person was dressed as anything that could be considered Frank. Oh well. A lot of Magentas and Columbias. The reason they gave for not letting the rice, etc in is it attracts insects and animals. Pussies.

Pi, isn't that the movie in high definition black and white with the super math guy? Yeah, that movie didn't do much for me either.
