It’s hard to believe that it was 50 years ago that The Rocky Horror Picture Show landed in our laps. I have to admit I did not see it in that first year much to my chagrin. My friend Dan however had seen it and he recommended it to me, so when it started playing on the midnight circuits I was happy to join in the frivolity. In fact for the next 3 years, The Rocky Horror Picture Show took up a residence at midnight on any weekend that I wasn’t traveling to a debate tournament.

So it’s a pleasure to say I’m still here and still seeing Rocky Horror at least on an annual basis, because the Paramount Theater here in Austin knows it’s community. I didn’t dress up this year because we were coming from another screening, and normally my cosplay is very slight, just a t-shirt and a lab coat. So I didn’t look much like the unconventional conventioneers , but I sang and danced in my seat as much as anyone and had a terrific time once more doing the Time Warp.

It’s getting close to the closing of the summer classic film series, and that makes me a little sad but fortunately seeing this movie overcomes most of that. It’s nice that I didn’t have to stay up till midnight to see the movie, I suspect that a lot of the people in the audience for this movie are used to having an early bird dinner and being in bed by 9: 00.

Well prepare the transit beam, will be heading into the fall season soon and summer will be a memory. Damn it Janet I’ll miss you.
