Like many aspiring tranny space aliens, I worked Rocky Horror shows in college, and through many, many weeks of rehearsals have probably seen the show a dozen times. That being said, even though there are two shows every weekend down here, I've yet to see it in L.A. Now might be a good time to check out Midnight Insanity's show at the Warner Grand Theatre. Yes, it's all the way out in San Pedro, but it's cast-member Bill's 20th year with the show, which means lingerie night and the ghosts of Janets past (one of whom, Danielle, is tapped to be Fangoria's next Spooksmodel)!

Anyway, at 1:50 a.m. on Saturday morning, someone stole Terry's stick. He's not too happy despite his deadpan tone in the video. He got that stick in Vietnam after a guy tried to kill him with it. 31 years Terry had that stick. Whoever stole that stick has some badass karma heading their way. more ›
