Advance tickets available for $10 each [ 3], general seating. I picked up what are evidentially the very first advanced tickets [ 4] for Friday evening. Since this theater usually hosts our current local audience participation run of the cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show, it is likely people may dress up for this production as well. [ 5] According to the flyer I picked up, the evening should include:
A group dinner before hand will likely beforehand, venue to be determined closer to the date of event. If you're interested in joining us for the show and/or dinner, get yourself a ticket, and please reply to this post to let us know. Some rehersals, in preparation for the event, may get organized as well, TBD.
Update: 5 May 2007
Two additional tickets acquired.
Update: 31 May 2007
I confirmed that the theater still has tickets available and does not expect to sell out. More people welcome!
Footnotes:
[1] Though honestly, it will likely be more of a fun filled tipsy discordant cacophony, but if you're going to look silly, there is safety in numbers, and sometimes group bonding too. If you decide to bring a Mr. Pointy, I recommend going nerf in material; mustn't scare the non-fans.
[2]As in the midnight bridging Friday and Saturday. Although, for those who can not make it for this showing, it will also be showing the next night, the midnight between Saturday/Sunday as well. And yes, this is the night before The Big Party™ (more details coming soon).
[3]Which seems expensive for a show less than an hour and at a second-run theater, but as you can see, it's being organized by others who are providing additional entertainment, equipment, and prizes. Personally, I can support such grass-roots efforts which fall outside of the traditional media empires (he says ironically on a main-stream blog), and supporting a locally owned venue.
[4]I got tickets numbered 000001 through 000006, though I think that the capacity of the venue is considerably less than 999999 people, unless they Tardis the place, but that would be mixing genre.
[5]It's an easy guess that standard gender roles need not be observed, dress as you wish. I would expect a few people, given their tastes and available fashions, to dress like some of cast who were not in this episode. Regardless of who you dress like, I'm certain you can attempt to sing any parts you wish. That said, here's my feeble attempt at a costume fashion guide (suggestions welcome):
Buffy Think Butch, like a female Repo Man.DawnThink casual attire, as in this is who you get to be if you forget to dress up. [ 8]WillowThink Fem, Earth Mother type, recovering witch (non-Goth).TaraThink Ren Fest and SCA costumes.XanderThink Dawn, but male.AnyaThink Dawn, but angry.GilesThink stuffy suited teacher/professor.SpikeThink leather, more James Dean/Grease, definitely not Eagle/Tom of Finland.SweetThink Zoot Suit - snappy, suave, hip and smokin' (in a brimstone scented kind of way).CordeliaThink bitchy preppy, yet silent and invisible (she wasn't in this episode).AngelThink brooding hottie, and not present in this episode.OzThink witty garage band outsider werewolf, also not present in this episode.
[6]No relation to Killer Bunnies, an infamous Killer Rabbit, Dead Bunnies, a famous warren relocation, a weird kid's Undead Bunnies, nor a certain time traveling homicidal Be-Bunny-Suited visage.
[7]Technically, that's my addition to their list, gotmoof can appreciate why. The theater does say in their voice mail message that they have the best popcorn in the Twin Cities. We will have to test this assertion.
[8]Not plain like the Amish, which might get confused for Goth in this crowd, which in turn might have people thinking you were there for the regularly scheduled RHPS. This is more like how Wednesday Addams notes that Axe Murderers look just like everybody else (to which 30 Helens & Dave Foley would surely agree).
[9]This footnote left intentionally blank.
[10]Although, the question could be raised, does this really count as a footnote if it points to something above it? Wouldn't that make it a headnote or preamble?
Current Weapon: Mr. Pointy
