Fellow Mysterians,

Kim and I have secured from Fox Searchlight Pictures the licensing rights to show the Rocky Horror Picture Show at midnight Friday night. This is a movie we love and think is one great example of how PARTICIPATION can make something phenomenally better than spectation. We invite everyone to come to the Hukka Lounge in Valhallah Friday night 11:30ish, wearing your RHPS costumes or other mysteria gear. We will be making a rain controlled outdoor projection theater. We encourage you to bring blanket's, pillows, chairs for your comfort. People with chairs are asked to seat behind those on the ground.

Unless someone can come up with a moop solution, we ask that audience member please do not throw anything. Specifically this refers to rice in the wedding scene and toast in the dinner scene, but anything (cards for joy, etc) that may moop should not be mooped. Don't let it hit the ground! If you feel strongly about including this part of audience participation, then message me your plan on how to demoop the area and a commitment to implementing the plan and we may go for it. Otherwise, bubbles at the wedding scene make sense too.

How can you help?
- the main way to help will be audience participation. Bring your best callouts. Bring your squirt guns. Bring your noise makers. Please no throwables unless we get a moop plan put in. I will make an official callout script and post it. I may even post an mp3 of me doing the callouts which you will need to sync to your copy of the movie. However, as with all Rocky showings, the official script is a GUIDE only and you should feel free to throw your own calls out. I will be saying things not in the script because they are just funnier when one person says them. I also encourage you to make suggestions on the script.
- another way to help would be actors. As of right now, we have no stage players. Only one of our stage player friends got a ticket :( If we get enough people together, we can throw a crew together. We will have try to have a rehearsal on Thursday, but if that is not feasible we will have it on Friday. If you don't have early entrance some other way, you can and should join the Hukka Lounge theme camp to get early entrance. If you are interested in being a stage player, message me what part(s) you want, your experience with the part, if you have a costume already, and anything else I may need to know.
- another thing we need are builders. We need people to build the theater. Mostly this involves holding wood in place while I screw it together with a power drill. I need at least two people for this. There is also some ropes, tarps (in case of rain), and lighting to string up. This will be done on Thursday and you will need early entrance. Join the Hukka Lounge if you do not already have early entrance.
- we need demolition people. These can be the same as the builders. Mostly this is carrying the theater to the burn pile on Saturday night. Four-Six people would be great.
- finally, getting the license was an expense ($350). If you think this is a really good idea and you want to support it financially, then you can paypal us a small amount (less than a theater ticket) to show some appreciation. jl-paypal at quickp.ath.cx . This contribution is not necessary for attendance, and god knows our food giveaways were much more expensive than this in years past, but it can help us in deciding on doing it again at future events (side note, we only do tea, coffee, and hukka in the lounge now :) . Some people may disagree with the need to license it, but our Civic Responsibility principal demands it and not licensing it and having a notice in the theme camp area of the transformus.com website could invite law enforcement into Mysteria at a crucial party time. Considering the raids they've done at churches showing 40 people or more a live broadcast of the Superbowl, I'd rather not risk it.
