The Rocky Horror Picture Show

So. Yeah, I'm awesome. My friends Gretchen and Joe took me to "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" at UTA. It was a live performance with actors filling in the dead spaces between the lines. Gretchen called me 20 minutes before and said, "You need to dress up. Put on a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up. Oh! and I've got some lingerie for you to put on (a bustier?)."

At the beginning of the show, before the movie began, they called everyone up to the stage that wasn't an actor but had a costume. Me and Alex, my friend's 12 year old daughter, who shares the same birthday, went up to the stage. The finalists were chosen by a round of applause. The first two finalists were dudes in full women's clothing. I'm guessing they were Tim Currey characters. Well, when it was my turn, I was dubbed "Revenge of the Nerds dude." Well, I undid my tie and ripped off my white shirt to reveal the bustier.

I was later told that the crowd went crazy. And I was in the finals. Well, when they did a survey between the three of us, one of the dudes got third place, and the second one (who looked really into it) got second, which means I got first. But then the crowd started booing (because they didn't think I should have won, and I agreed). Well, they did a "recount" and cheered for that guy. I kept cool and when they came to cheer me on, I tried to not win (I thought the other guy deserved it more). So, we walked off the stage and signed a waiver for the prizes. I won a $25 gift certificate to Best Buy. Not bad for someone who has never seen the movie and was told what to wear.

Awesome.
