Thread Name: BS: RHPS Fans?
Subject: RE: BS: RHPS Fans?
About 12 years ago, for a span of 3.5 years, a group of us went every Friday and Saturday night. Actually put a performance group together and would do the acting out under the stage bit. Gave Time Warp lessons before the show. I always did Riff, but could also do Frank, Eddie, or Rocky in a pinch. What stopped us from going was that the main enthusiast moved to Chicago (where he joined the troupe up there) and the rest of our group just kind of dissolved. He was the one thing that held us all together. I went to see it about three years ago, and it just didn't see the same anymore.

One night, that we later termed "Hell Night", a bunch of drunk highschool football players and sports groupies came in and started tearing apart the theater. They shut the movie down about 15 minutes into it (and it's never played there since). Anyway, being such good helpers that our group was, we hung around and helped clean up the mess. Someone suggested, "Since we can't watch the movie, let's do it." So we all took our chosen parts and started reciting the movie, from the beginning. The cleaning ladies and theater manager just watched us - stunned that we could recite a movie verbatim. I guess when you've seen a movie over 200 times it gets kinda ingrained.
