You again!!! Why just last week we
fired off a special Transylvanian Tymes,
documenting a mini-history of 7 years of
Midnight Inanity, and here we are again! To
be fair, what you read was a very coarse
glance at the past 7 years, it would be hard
to do it any great amount of justice
without writing a small book. Still, the show
was truly spectacular and we saw soooo
many of you folks, come down JUST for our
birthday. We apologize for the lack of party
hats but we DID get some extra confetti in
so you win some you lose some. Tonight
marks the first official Lingerie Night of
1995 (remember, the last one was officially
December 31 1994) so lets make it count!
Remember once again, our Valentine's Day
show, February 11th, 1995, is a special show,
with special performances, and EVERYONE
is to show up in Lingerie. If you don't show
up in Lingerie . . . well, lets just say we hope
you're wearing underwear.
No, we're not done harking about it yet, we put an awful lot of work into it and really, didn't have time for much else this past month. Yes indeed, our 7th Birthday was truly a show to see, with a custom medley-mix of favorite Rocky songs, including tons of new choreography, new costumes and a truly spectacular light |
show. We utilized various different Rocky
tunes, most of which had never been seen or
heard inside Midnight Insanity's walls. If
you really liked it that much (or for some
life-or-death reason, missed it), you can see
it again at the Beverly Hills mini-Convention
on Sunday, February 12th . . . see Bev at the
merchandise table in the lobby for details!
For all those people who just can't
wait to age in the New Year!! January
Birthdays include: Jeff (Pre-Show/Riff-Raff,
1/17), Kym (Magenta, 1/23) . . . who turns 21
this year!; and of course, Midnight Insanity,
who turned seven last week (really?)
February Birthdays! Well, the only ones we
really know of are George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln . . . sorry, this TT writer had
a brain fart this month and never got
around to asking for February Birthdays so
this will be an exercise left to the reader (oh,
dontcha just LOVE it when they do that???)
We've only one new sighting of your favorite Rocky stars this month, Williams/Bally has released a new pinball machine based on the movie, "The Shadow". |
Tim Curry is featured in the artwork of the
game, as well as makes cameo appearances
on the dot-matrix display. If you're into
pinball, play the game (really, it's a pretty
good game too!) and you're sure to find him.
For you non-pinball buffs, start a game and
shake the machine a little. Tim will appear
on the display making funny faces and
exclaiming, "Noooo, stop it! Noooo!!!" It's
really all rather amusing, good for 50 cents
anyway. As a recap, Mr. Curry is also
scheduled to be appearing in Michael
Crichton's new film, "Congo", which opens
this summer, and will also be doing the voice
over in an animated film called, "Penguin in
the Pebble" . . . we do not know his character
name, only that he plays the villain. "Little
Women" is still playing and features Susan
Sarandon, along with Winona Ryder
(Heathers, Reality Bites) and Kirsten Dunst
(Interview with the Vampire). Midnight
Insanity? It appears an entire month DID
go by without at least one of us invading
the airwaves of your television set. You
should be thankful (in the beggar's tray).
Oh, and speaking of Pinball, I, Bill (Brad), will be absent next weekend. I am taking off for New York City, New York to play in a World Pinball Tournament. Yeah, it sounds a bit odd, but then there are people who flew to London to do Rocky Horror. Anyway, in my place next weekend (February 4th) will be Diego, who has graced our stage as the loveable Chuck-E-Cheese and as an endearing Dr. Scott. As Jen (Janet) is a bit on the tall side for Diego (heck, she's a little on the tall side for me), we have cast little Leisa in the role of Janet for the |
evening,
and placed Mandi in the role of Columbia.
This is truly NOT a show to be missed. I'll
have to live with the videotape myself.
Huh? What does THAT mean? Well,
since I was asked by someone, I figured I'd
mention it here (that, and we celebrate
everything from Christmas to St. Patrick's
Day, so why not?) Next Tuesday, January
31, 1995 is Chinese New Year. "Gung He Fat
Choy" is a common phrase said at Chinese
New Year, which translated means, "Wish
you good wealth". By the Chinese Zodiac,
this past year was the year of the Dog, and
we are now entering the year of the Pig.
Oink! Oink!!
Midnight Insanity would like to thank
everybody who came down to see our show
last week, it felt really special to have you all
here (oh, and you were soo LOUD too!!!)
We'd like to once again thank everyone for
their special efforts, Leisa for 101 moves of
choreography, Mark for letting tear apart
his house for rehearsals, Allan for countless
hours mixing music, Big John's (Enforcer)
Mom for costuming our Rocky, Art Theatre
staff for letting us use the theatre when we
needed to, and everyone in general,
ridesharing, rehearsing and filling the rooms
with smoke during nic-fits. Also, Joe &
Krista, our ultra-cool staff at Denny's who
come to our show, and all of you who've
come down to see us all prancing around on
stage half-naked again. :-) :-) :-) :-) <g>
