RHPS

Finally, this weekend, I was able to pop my cherry on an experience I've always wanted to take part in, but just never made the time: a midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

I happened to be in the cool and trendy part of Houston Saturday night, having dinner with friends. They wanted to hit the bars, but I just didn't want to. Not my scene and I'd already been dragged there for my quarterly quota.

So, on my way to a coffee shop, I saw that the River Oaks had it showing. (the coolest theaters I've been to in a while--it was one of only two theaters in Houston to show Brokeback Mountain on opening weekend)



Let me tell you, it didn't disappoint. If you've never been to one of these participatory midnight showings, I highly recommend it. They had a very enthusiastic live cast that acted-out the entire move on-stage at the same time it was playing. Dirty. Raunchy. It even got a little wet at one point. I haven't had that much fun in a while. (when was the last time you were *expected* to make noise, be disruptive and throw things during a movie?)

the "got a little wet" part of that paragraph made me do a double take.

That theater looks cool!

That is absolutely the coolest little theater anywhere. I need to find some pictures of the interior and post them.
