Oh, I've Done That: Dammit, Janet!

Hey guys! Are you ready for a new post?! Here we go!

So on Saturday we went to Newark, Delaware for THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW midnight showing! For those of you who don't know, it's a whole big thing with props and actors and talking back to the screen. Becky and I were joined by Jamie (you know Jamie), our friend Tim and Becky's friend Sam. Before the show we stopped at Klondike Kate's for some Red Bull Vodkas, because we weren't sure if we would be able to stay up through the whole thing haha, and then we were off to the show!

Do you know what happens when you go to the midnight showing of Rocky Horror for the first time?


This. This is what happens.

They label you a "virgin" and draw a nice big V on your forehead with lipstick. I tried to avoid it, but it was inevitable. Notice the other Sam is NOT a virgin, and therefore has no giant red V on her forehead. Darn.

We had to take this picture outside because, surprisingly enough, they were SUPER STRICT about their rules! They told us to take the pictures outside and then put the camera in the car before we could go back inside. Spoiler Alert: We didn't do that.

So after buying tickets from the lady who looked an awful lot like McLovin, we bought our prop bags and got in our seats.

Prop bags are necessary for throwing stuff at the stage, looking ridiculous and various other shenanigans.

Despite trying to pay attention, we missed some of the cues and ended up just throwing things at random times. Also, DO NOT try to eat the popcorn. No matter how tempting it may look, it is stale and disgusting. Don't try it.

Before the show started they called up all of us virgins, Becky was in the bathroom and didn't have to go to the front, and had us act out the famous Lady and the Tramp Scene with Twizzlers. Yea, it was weird. Luckily, Jamie and I had a plan and just kissed each other's cheeks. Tim, however, was not so lucky. I won't go into detail, but oh, poor Tim. Poor, poor Tim.

Jamie and I are the adorable couple in the middle. Thanks for sneakin a pic, Beck!

So I'd say the best part of the show was the talking back to the cast. Luckily, we had a regular sitting in front of us and he yelled out all of the lines perfectly. I wish I had written some of them down...but I didn't. So you'll just have to go see your own midnight showing!

Despite their crazy obsessiveness about not having cameras in the theater, we managed to sneak some pictures:

Lips.

The big entrance.

Becky's cell phone pics came out way better than mine!

Big finish!

Rocky Horror was a lot of fun. The cast was okay, I didn't really pay much attention to them, I watched the actual movie instead. But the shouting out during the movie was totally the best part. I even got to join in! Whenever the narrator says Janet's name you're supposed to yell "Slut!" I finally caught onto that one by the middle of the movie. That's it though, for the most part we sat back and enjoyed everyone else yelling.

After the show we wanted to get a picture with the cast, because honestly, they loved us. BUT, their stupid rules again, they made us go outside in the freezing cold. (After "going to the car" to get the camera) But at least we have this to show for it:
