The busiest day of the year!

i just want to sleep for more than 2 hours at a time
planes dont count

Yesterday we were up at 6am to watch the academy award announcements, then out the door a few hours later to catch our plane.
Plane was delayed 1 and a half hours because of a technical malfunction, they eventually decided to fly anyways with out fixing it. After getting the luggage and rental car we drove an hour directly to The Michigan Theatre where they had already started seating the fans.

We had 2 street team members selling our stuff for us. My parents were there with my sister Shannon and my nephew Caleb, I said hello and within 15 minutes or so of arrival I was onstage hosting the pre-show to a great audience of loud cheers! Darren Smith was in town and helped me with the costume contest. The stars got onstage and introduced the film, and the movie started….

The audience was amazing, I have not heard this many callbacks to the film at any stop on the tour. They were loud boisterous and having a great time. This is due in no small part to the local Rocky Horror Cast called Painted Perversion really keeping the audience lively. They were great!

At this point, I have not eaten cleaned up or even fixed my makeup before arriving!

About 30 minutes or so into the film I sat down with my parents and noticed that my Mom was hiding her eyes through the entire film, my 10 year old nephew was eating it up and seeming to enjoy it, my Dad was tolerant and my sister thought it was too gory but watching. I grabbed my mom and brought her into the lobby to hang out and skip the movie that she really was not enjoying. We hung out in the lobby until the end and the guys did the Q&A for a good 45 minutes. Then we set up the autograph session and stayed until the very last person had gotten theirs.

My family left for home and I took a bunch of pictures of the fans on the stage getting autographs. Then when it was over we packed up and loaded the car. Darren Bousman drove us back to the hotel where I was to clean up and get back to the bar to meet Terrence and Darren Smith who were hanging out with the fans…… but then we got pulled over by a cop, for not using a turn signal. He took Bousman’s, mine and Bill Moseley’s IDs and made us wait in the car while he did his thing for about 30 minutes. He let us go without a ticket but now it was late and I needed to get back to the bar before closing time to see what Terrence and Darren Smith were planning, so still without food and without cleaning up I drove back to the bar and met up with the guys,

About 10 minutes after arriving the bar closed and a bunch of people went to the home of the Rocky Horror cast members. Darren Smith and I chilled for an hour or so with the gang and had a really great time meeting some great people. We took pictures and videos and then said our good byes,

Darren didn’t know how to get back to the hotel, so he followed me, then when he was parked I left and went to the local gas station to get a gross sandwich, my first bit of food since 11:30am. Its now 4:30 I am beat, and afraid if I go to sleep I wont wake up on time to get up at 8:00am

My brain is fried, my stomach is unhappy, but tonight was an amazing night, possibly the second best of the tour!

Tomorrow we have a convention to attend and a screening in Phoenix, my good friends Paula and Chris will be there as well, so it will be fun. Then start over, to get back to LA for the final night! Almost 50 fans are flying in for the LA show, a few of them are even staying with me at my house…

I gotta try and get some sleep…
Later
