Rocky Horror Time Warps Into The Market Arcade
The VIP Time Warp Dance Party takes place at the Arts Council Passage Way Gallery on the third floor of the Market Arcade Building at 9 PM. Local members of the dance and theatre community will be there to teach guests the “Time Warp Dance” while dressed as characters from the movie. There will even be costume accessories available for guests to wear as they have fun learning.
After the party, the movie begins at Midnight. There will be a Rocky Horror Accessories Pack, which will contain rice, toast, paper towel, newspaper, a rubber glove, a party whistle, a playing card, and a glow stick, to help make the movie a true theatrical event. Tickets for this event are $20, with proceeds benefiting the Technical Assistance Programs of the Arts Council.
The fun doesn’t stop there though. The following morning, June 28 at 10 AM, there will be a pre-film discussion with Bruce Jackson and Dianne Christian on the history of the The Rocky Horror Picture Show and its development into cult status. Tickets to this showing are $10 in advance and $12 day of.
Your last chance to see the movie is that evening at Midnight, dubbed The Time Warp Dance Event. Before the movie begins, instructors dressed as characters from the show will teach the audience the dance. Moviegoers will get to be the chorus of Transylvanians with Rocky, Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Brad, Janet, Magenta, and other characters from the movie performing live character animation. The Rocky Horror Accessories Pack will be available for purchase for $1.25 and tickets are the same price as the 10 AM showing.

This Sidewalk Is Really Closed
For weeks now, anyone trying to walk down the west side of Main Street (near the corner of Allen) has been met with this disgraceful mess. Can you imagine that just one block away is the Medical Campus? And this is what you will find if you walk from Allen Street to the Granite Works project? You can't walk, you can't bike, you can barely look at this mess without wanting to shake someone awake at their City Hall desk. A day maybe, but weeks... really?

Buffalo State's College Writing Program
Picture this scenario; you are a fly on a wall in a major company and you are watching the president read the cover letters of possible employees. The president sits at his desk, letter in hand, cup of coffee in the other, and begins reading as you look over his shoulder. You are no editor, but after the first three sentences you can't help but notice at least two grammatical errors. The president immediately puts the letter in the garbage and picks up the next one.

The first time I went to see Rocky Horror I got kudos all around for my spot-on Brad costume. I was confused, as I was just wearing my regular clothes.

"SAY IT, CONSTI"...
What did happen to the Saturday, Midnight showing? I mean, come on, that's THE showing since it's release in 1975 isn't it?

Nightrider, you'd have to be over 40 to get the whole Rocky Horror thing. It was a bad B movie that turned into a cult classic 30 years ago. I guess this party is geared toward a more mature demographic, but I don't think I'll be going.

Oh. Looking at their website http://www.artscouncilbuffalo.org/ it looks as if the Saturday showing is in fact at Midnight. Phew.

I wrote this story about a three weeks ago. I double-checked just to be sure, but according to the press release I was sent, the show times I originally put up were correct. However, their website obviously says differently. Since they probably changed the times and updated their website without sending out a new press release, I edited the article to reflect the new showing times. Sorry to confuse everybody. I called the Arts Council just to be sure, and yes, the new show times are correct.

I'm a few years shy of 40 and spent many a Saturday night in high school at the Neptune theatre in Downtown Seattle watching and playing along with RHPS. In all fairness, I was a drama geek, but I think that everyone should have the full-on Rocky Horror experience at least once in their lifetime.
Sure there are people that take it too seriously who come across as socially askew as folks that are obsessed with D&D, renaissance festivals or Star Trek, but there isn't a regular showing here in Blo, so I'm sure there aren't too many of them around. Not enough to keep you from enjoying a new experience. And you really have to see Tim Curry and Susan Sarandon--too fun!

Ha, The Neptune. I saw many a film there (as well as The Egyptian, and Seven Gables?) in the early 90's, but never caught Rocky Horror there. I bet they did it justice. I did get to see it in NYC at the 8th Street playhouse on several occasions, as well in a few other cities, during the last century. Good times. From what I can actually remember.
But, when I was about 11 years old, I went to a summer day camp that put on a production of Rocky Horror as the big event for the summer. I actually played the role of Brad Majors (asshole!). So at one point, I actually had every line memorized. The counselors who organized it were all weed smoking freaksters, and they had many friends come to whoop it up proper. Needless to say, the parents watched the performance with nothing short of total shock and gaping jaws. I don't know what my mom was thinking sending me to that summer program. I guess it explains a lot. More good times in retrospect. I also remember playing a bunch of D&D at that camp as well. Must be why I'm excited about going to the Sterling Renaissance Faire next month.
If I can get a sitter next Saturday, I'm friggin' there.
