So, just in case there's anyone out there reading this blog I thought I'd better tie up some loose ends. About a year too late!
Unfortunately our cinema, Dara Cinema, had to close when a multiplex opened up in Naas so, no more Rocky Horror for Kildare. But it was sorta fun while it lasted. Thanks everyone who came and especially to the cast who made the effort every week. Now we must put on our frankly ludicrous and impractical space suits and blast this cardboard castle back to Transexual, Transylvania. Adios :)

Little bishop in a turtleneck - Hedwig and the Angry Inch in Dublin
Got an email about a production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch taking place in the Project Arts Centre in Temple Bar this week, thought I'd post it. Hedwig is a really fantastic rock musical with some hilarious one-liners & should appeal to most Rocky fans (I know, that sounds like a review out of the RTE Guide, sorry!). If you haven't seen it yet, then you should! :)

Noa and Anat's pictures
Here's Noa and Anat, the two gorgeous girlies from Israel who came to see us back in March.
Noa on the left and Anat on the right.
And here are the photies they took of us on the night
Here's Seán our Narrator. He has a neck. But every second Friday he pretends not to. It's a crazy world.
Mairead and PJ always take really unusual pictures - looks like they've been caught in an explosion or something!
Another cool picture of Mairead & PJ? S'not fair!
The girls get into the Time Warp. Paula and PJ work the background.
The obligitory Throne scene.
The irresistable urges of a chairosexual, no seating is safe...
It's a little know fact that our Frank (Marc) is 8ft 7in and has size 25 feet. He's the worlds biggest shoeless tranny.
Suddenly the pre-show naggin didn't seem like such a good idea.
Wayne (Eddie) makes beautiful music with his, eh, bottle of Club Orange? Lucozade? It's not a saxamaphone. That I know.
Paula (Dr. Scott) medusafied.
Saucy! Jen, you minx!
"And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain..."
They're home with the downies!
Aidan, Sean and PJ, keepin it real and all.
All the gang at the end of the night with Noa in the middle.

Ch-ch-ch-chaaaaanges
Hello there you, our imaginary yet obviously pulchritudinous and morally upstanding regular blog reader. How badly you have been treated this past month hence - we didn't write, didn't call to enquire after the health of your aged grand aunt nor did we even send flowers in a shoddy and transparently transparent attempt to compensate for this neglect.
Ah, but would it excuse us if we were to say these have been tentative days here at Voyeuristic Intention Towers, the sands of Rocky Horror Picture Show shadow casting shifting under our very feet? Oh what impermanent, evanescent times we live in dear reader. But what can we, mere mortals, shadow and dust, do about Change? Nowt but bow to its flibbertigibbet ways and perhaps gently suggest that it wears flesh colour knickers under its white linen summer trousers. Personally I would favour the boy short's kind cotton embrace over the cheese wire manevolence of the g string but hey, that's just me and who am I to tell Change how to dress its undercarriage? Nobody. Exactly.
So yeeeaaaah... oh yeah, Change. Right, well, ok, em, so - performance every second Friday. The film will be shown every week still but there'll only be a cast there every fortnight. The weekly thing was getting kind of tiring for everyone and God knows, I was getting it very difficult to fit into my bridge/strip poker schedule down at the day care centre.
There was a show last Friday, 5th May so the schedule for the next two months is
Friday 19 May,
Friday 2 June,
Friday 16 June,
Friday 30 June and so on in that fortnightly type way. It's a sort of a sum.
We also have a few cast changes - a new Janet for one thing. God knows some people would pay good money to stand around in a slip and have young men jump all over them and indeed many's the time I did, but my arthritic old bones can't handle the japery anymore so I proudly pass the white hat of Janetyness over to the ever lovely Ebony. Besht a luck Ebony! I'll be hanging around still as some kind of webby and costumey person and hopefully will be taking a few photos to put up on the site (we never really had anyone to take photos regularly, hence the lack of, eh, photos on the site.). There are probably a few other cast changes to come but we're not really sure what they are at the moment so we'll just have to wait and see.
So, ta ta for now, schweetums and why don't you come up and see us sometime ;)

Green beer blues
Ah, what to say about our anarchic St. Patrick's Day Rocky Horror cast switch night... well, traditional Paddy's Day alcoholic over-indulgence and switching about parts is doomed to failure! Doomed I say!
Here's an artist's impression of the results:
Business as usual this Friday :)

Ready for our close-up
Oooh yes, forgot to mention, we have something quite exciting happening on Wednesday - a film crew from RTE are coming to film us at 1.00pm as part of a show called The Ex Files. A couple will be coming on a date to the cinema to see Rocky Horror and will have to endure our gurning and hamming as part of the process :)
Aaaaanyway, it's on at a funny time but if anyone wants to come and see it and potentially be on the telly just turn up on Wednesday. And if you were in costume it'd be all the better.
Just post a comment dahlinks if you need to know anything else.

Shalom, ma nishma?
G'day possums. Welcome to Learn Hebrew with Voyeuristic Intention.
For our first lesson:
The cat is good - Ha chatool tov
The bridge is bad - Ha gesher ra
The cat is bad - Ha chatool ra
The bridge is good - Ha gesher tov
By now you should feeling confident with your fluency in this ancient and complex language and with these essential phrases under your belt you are just about ready to book your holiday in Israel and converse like a local.
Em, yeah. Or you could wait until after the next lesson.
In case you're wondering, all of the above is especially to celebrate the arrival in Naas last Friday of Noa and Anat, two Israeli Rocky Horror cast members (and to give them a bit of a giggle). Sorry girls - Letsa-ari, ani medaberet rak k'tsat ivrit (that's supposed to say "Unfortunately, we don't know much Hebrew" but for all we know it could say "The timing belt on your 1986 VW Jetta needs to be replaced every 60,000 miles" or "Koala bears are Australia's biggers carriers of gonorrhea". Who knows? As usual, In Google We Trust.)
Anyway, Noa and Anat are over in Ireland for St. Patrick's Day and made their way down to our humble little town to see how Rocky Horror is done Irish style. And how happy were we that they came? Very happy! Such angels they were, they livened up our show no end. We wanted to keep them, put them in a golden cage and bring them out every Friday night as our own special mascots and cheerleaders but strangely they weren't overly enthused about this idea. Ah well. Have a great time in Ireland girls! We should have some photos from the night soon for your delictation.
And many, many thanks to everyone else who came along. It was our bestest ever night and bestest ever crowd. Hope to see some or all of you again soon.
Later, freakinuns.

What can I say - we're all heart!
They're limited edition (only 33 of each), customed designed for yoooouu and only available at the shows, so pick your team, out with yer communion money & get 'em while they're hot...
