One of the sad tragedies of 9/11 is that there are considerably fewer garbage
cans in NYC. Its way too easy to drop a bomb in one and have shrapnel
everywhere.

Three spots:
1) Janet in the car turns and opens her mouth to felate the inflatable penis.
2) Riff at the monitor watching janet before bedroom scene turns to kiss the
inflatable penis
3) Janet hears a noise in the tank, turns to see the giant penis and follows it
off screen.

Its as inflatable as the penis.
There were lots of great quotes from the weekend. I've forgotten a lot of them.
But I enjoyed ron explaining all the fuckups of the bagel place sunday morning
(they originally brought 20 bagels instead of 20 dozen and then charged us
more). And as he is explaining the list of charges he said "And then a few
dollars for a tip, because i had to tip the guy..."
Larry.
Well the 13 year old kid CLEARLY said 18 :-). I was a lot more disturbed by
Kimi Wong jumping up and kissing the poor boy. That was completely unexpected.

they were 17. Sorry, continue.

That may be the case that they aren't buying more but they actually took most

>You can not be fucking serious.
Actually, yes he can. This is pretty common practice, I was talking to people I
knew who had gone to England and griped about having to carry trash with them
because they couldn't find any trash cans.
They finally asked where, if any, were... and discovered they'd been removed
because the IRA had been so fond of dropping bombs into them.

Q
And note the following:
1) I didn't know, at the time of the subway party (this is what I will refer to
as that trip to the theater from this point on.. Bang your bars!), that we had
a Transylvanian with us. I saw him, but didn't know WHO he was.. Just thought
that he was a regular con attendee. Later, when I was told who he was (shut
up.. I had a bridal consultation earlier in the day, so I wasn't able to hear
who he was), I laughed soo hard. If he didn't get a show that night, I don't
know what he experienced. ;)
2) For those that were a bit disturbed by my request to not take photos on the
subway, here's a link to validate my concerns and reasonings.. I do, again,
apologize for killing the photo op, but I was looking out for everyone's best
interest. Dealing with the cops for a large group of people is one thing (as I
did at the Times Square station.. Luckily, we were dealing with a guy that
recognize me from previous subway parties), but to deal with them over photos
is something I wasn't willing to do. Here's a few links to satiate your

of, 'I didnāt have to audition because "I was fucking the writer," was
thoroughly entertaining, though Iām still trying to figure out just how
appropriate that really was/is - though her chain smoking through the entire
panel discussion became quite amusing after about 15 minutes. Larry, it was
worth the money to bring them in.
Cosmo, generous and friendly as always.
A convention in New York Fuckinā City. While Iād never want to live there again,
it was nice to be back there and enjoy it all again. Central Park, Times Square,

Having some of the MM peeps recruited to fold programs and laminate badges

Columbia corset and floorshow boa up close.
Yet another Rocky convention hotel that had issues / problems. Insanely slow
elevators (also indirectly affecting the destruction of my digital camera),
ādamagedā rooms, wrong rooms rates / charges, asshole employees who somehow
think that it is wrong of the customer to get pissed and yell at them when we
get shitty service/attitude from them in the first place (seriously, trying to
argue with me for 5 minutes and charge me full rate and say that I didn't say I
was with the Rocky Horror convention when I made my room reservation is just
about the stupidest thing possible you can say to me - as if).
Almost no centralized party rooms/areas, and the hotel being complete assholes
to the rooms/room owners that did manage to get people to congregate in an area.
Didnāt make much of a difference though, I was so tired at this con, I probably
would have (i.e did) missed most of it anyway.
Altogether having very little or no time to talk to people ā though, when youāre
too busy pointing a camera up other peopleās asses, it leaves little time for
socializing during the events. Mark T, Bill, Alex, Cosmo, Kev, Scott, and
everyone else I wanted to talk to for more than 30 seconds, sorry, nothing
personal, I didnāt really talk to ANYONE more than that.
Waiting outside the Rocky theater for WELL over an hour to get in. At least it
didnāt rain at that time.
14 hours of driving in rain ā both ways. Poorly marked roads, insanely expensive

But a quick downer- my wife Devon and I had a GREAT time at the con, but of

Well, driving back to Binghamton, someone apparently decided that the middle of
the road was the best place to leave their muffler. That muffler and the
underside of our car had an abrupt meeting, resulting in the transmission fluid
pan of our car being ruptured. We had to get towed the last 40 miles back to
Binghamton. So, long story short, $500 extra bucks added to the price of the
weekend!

Though not as amusing as her smoking under her jacket through the first
half of Rocky at the theatre Saturday night. (She was passed out most of
the 2nd half.)
Okay, my judgement is Devon and Jordan win for the lowest point of after
convention happenings . . .
Second is Steve, getting his luggage sent to Milwaukee (was it?)!!! . . .
Mine was nothing compared. Erica and Anissa got me to Philadelphia in great
time, of course, with time to spare . . .
Then I get on my AmTrak train, the last one of the night, back to Lancaster,
PA, right? And we have to hold up for over an hour waiting for the NYC train
to get in -- for the one hour trip back to Lancaster.
Apparently there was "something on the tracks" which cancelled all trains going
out that way (toward NY and points South) . . .and all trains entering
Philadelphia from 'that way' (North?).
Anyway, the extra hour wait is nothing compared to $500.00 dollars damage to a
car or a tow truck ride, or lost luggage.
Even though I didn't spend too much, except for food, at the convention (once
there; spent a bit, of course, previous to arriving) -- my low point is coming
back home nearly completely broke (spending my last $20.00 for a cab home -- no
busses in Lancaster after 5 p.m. on Sunday) and nothing coming in until . . .
geez, tomorrow or later this week!

I think it was like that even before the trash cans were removed.
DC's Metro, however, was and is relatively clean before and after the trash
cans were removed -- except for those damned free papers the Washington
Post shoves into everyone's hands as they board the trains. Those are all
ending up left behind.
If he ever gets the people responsible for that alone, I think they'll
regret it. (Wally is a second degree black belt. Ever been kicked in the

Yeah, that was definitely NOT one of the finer convention / Rocky moments that
I've witnessed. I mean, I can kinda understand if it was a "regular" audience
with maybe mostly virgins, but this was a fucking convention with mostly all
seasoned Rocky veterans (i.e. people that SHOULD FUCKING KNOW BETTER!). I
observed people that I KNEW are MEMBERS of the NYC and other casts participating
in this total bullshit (and Iād be happy to point a couple of them out to Wally
at a future con just to see him give them the high heel kick to the head) -
fuck, if that's the kind of nonsense that they have and allow at their shows,
I'm GLAD I'm back home. I realize that we're all basically mimicking a movie and
we aren't at the top of sophistication or maturity to begin with, but can we
really truly regress any more to REAL 12 year old level antics?
quite disappointed in that stupid immature display of behavior,

Unfortunately, I don't know the names and I don't want to take the chance of
misidentifying anyone. There is one guy I'm relatively positive that I can
identify (the one I shouted "scene is over, you fucking asshole" directly at
when they were uncovering Janet and Rocky and he was STILL doing it ā he might
even remember ME), the rest though I'm not sure enough. I'll check through my
pics though, I think I took at least one or two pics of the audience during the
show, if not during the actual happening, and I'd be happy to forward them if I
have anything where you might be able to identify the people.
watch out for me and the camera,
Thank you.

***Awesome....thanx. Incriminatiing photos CAN be good,lol. Anyway, one of the
sad things in NY is that we get a lot of really over eager audience members who
become friends with one or two cast members and then automaticly think they are
actually in cast. I know that might sound crazy, as if to say that the cast is
soo special people are lying about belonging to be cool..lol. But, its actually
true in a way. This sucks b/c in instances like this (which I actually think it
might have been these people and not actual real cast members,but I could be
wrong)the whole deal can get us into a little trouble and almost ruin something
that was really great.I'm sure Ron, super Brad that he is, will take care of it
ASAP.I cant wait to see the pics though, b/c if its who I think it might
be...well hes got a spike heel Magenta boot to the ass coming his way!***

you know what i hate? when a cast has one or two very simple rules, and someone
has to go and break them. don't throw TP at the screen or the actors. i would
think that would be common sense, but then, i am canadian. maybe we do things
different up here.

I'll admit, it very well could have been someone of the "cast member by
association" type of guys (lord knows that just about every cast has a couple of
those). I remember seeing the one I'm thinking about hang out with NYC cast
members a lot, and I kind of remember him having a NYC Rocky T shirt (I don't
know if you sell those to the general public or not though) but I can't say for
absolute sure that he is a NYC cast member as I don't know every member of your
cast. Pretty much all I can say based on memory alone at this point is that he
wasn't Mad Man Mike or Ron. ;-P
just don't persecute anyone on my claim here alone - I'll feel really bad if the
wrong guys get singled out,

From my excellent vantage point at the stage right corner, I *also* saw the same
two guys (I am convinced of it from Alex's description/location/details) very
maliciously and repeatedly very forcefully throwing the toliet paper at the
performers and screen. Lots of it.
There were a few others scattered throughout the theatre throwing tp
inappropriately (I vaguely recognized several of them as convention goers/RHPS
people, but I don't know for sure specifically who and if they actually were
official members of any cast or not and thus would be uncomfortable pointing
fingers at them) and intentionally (and also wouldn't stop when very explicitly
told to stop), but those two guys really stood out.
I found the behavior absolutely appalling and can't believe Rocky people-- who
certainly should know better-- would do that.
Otherwise, I had a great time attending the show and convention in general.
Thanks again to the convention committee!

Most definitely seconded. While it is nice when a cast can keep its members in
line, and if it was your own show/theater it would have been a different
story/situation - in other situations though that are bascially out of your
control people act as individuals and I'd never hold the actions of an asshat or
two against a cast (not to say though that I wouldn't mind a cast disciplining
someone after the fact for various shitheadedness perpetuated by their members).
Lawd knows several of my cast members have done things over the past decade that
I wouldn't want held against me or my cast...

Hehehe... Boot To The Head is one of our most successful preshows... lol
And it's a damn good thing I was in the back when the TP started
flying - I've got a zero tolerance for peeps that intentionally hit the
actors or other people... I would have stage-dived over the seats into the
audience and made them eat the whole damn roll.... I abhor unnecessary
violence... necessary violence, on the other hand... (it's not that I'm a
violent man, but I'm just so good at it...lol)

Seems to me we have our share of people distinctly lacking common
sense .. an inarguable point considering that we just knowingly
brought back in the same bunch of crooks in the recent election.
(course, one might say that pretty much identifies what part of the
country NOT to move to)
(All said in fun, I hate politics, so please.. I'm not trying to start
a discussion on which party is the lessor evil)
The guy who wrote the hold-up note on the back of one of his own

I was sitting up in the front row when the raid of TP starting slamming the
performers up front! I was really worried about everyone and even covered my
head in fear of getting a hard one on the noggin' (well at least a different
type) Glad noone was seriously hurt...but I want to commend the performers for
staying in character and performing their hearts out...even though a few
immature morons tried to ruin it.

Good LORD, Quad, you're sexy when you sound like a Dominatrix on Prozac. ;)
(Even when you don't!)
In any case, they offered to fill my bag and I accepted. 20 or so rolls of tp
will not break the bank of any hotel, especially the crappy no name brand this
place had. :) I figured the hotel probably had more serious things to worry about.
So I got to the show, gave 5-10 rolls or so to others around me including a
group of virgins, and then threw the rest when the time came. I threw them up
high and behind me.
So, I threw correctly but I still stole. Let the beatings begin.
