A-Kon Show

Report by Shannon

Ah, A-Kon. A time when elevator attendants spray the elevators with Febreze to make the ride that much easier for guests (I’m not even joking here…). I was Febreezy for a couple of rides. It’s also a time when if you’re trying to go down the elevators you might as well just give up and go down the stairs (thirty-nine flights of stairs total for me over the weekend…) and they shut the escalators off to keep people from getting their costumes caught in them and to save the machinery for thousands of people using them in such a short period. So if you wanted to go to the dealer’s room that was a flight to climb…Ah, the good times at A-Kon. On the plus side I got to stalk voice act…oh wait. This isn’t about what I did this past weekend; it’s about what happened at A-Rocky. Ya know…that sounded cooler in my head. We had a crapload of people at the show. OMG. Well over five hundred screaming catgirls/boys and anime freaks. It was beautiful. I said it last year, and I’ll say it again this year…I wish all our shows were this huge. Seriously. It’s such a great vibe. We played music (like we do) and there were like thirty people dancing on stage. At one point they started jumping up and down and we were worried stage might collapse (it’s a metal, carpety stage of wobbly doom) We did fake the orgasm virgin games. One of “winners” was a friend of mine even from Scarby. It was hilarious and I got it on video. Go team me! So yes. Movie starts.

Now we all know what happens here. It’s business as usual right? If you said yes, your answer would be WRONG. The movie started and we had no sound. In fact, we had no sound until after the start of Damnit, Janet. But, our happy little performers (Saturn/Brad, Halo/Janet, Leah/Maggie, Emo/Riff, Gillian/Columbia, Wes/Rocky…and a slew of Transies) were all on cue (more or less. They were a bit off during opening dance. But that’s easy to do when you can’t see the lips behind you.) They trooped through, said the words (there’s a reason we have nazi rehearsals) and life was good. Then we magically got sound back during Damnit Janet. An audience member figured the problem out and his reward was to be in the middle of Lesbian Scene. So yes, AFTER Damnit Janet it was business as usual. More or less. Just like with any of our splendiferous shows something always happens.

Fishy was Frankie. Leah said she made him play for Frank for this show because he’s androgynous. For those without a big vocabulary, it’s because he can pull off looking like a little girl and it makes the anime kiddies happy. So we did Sweet T and all that jazz. Fishy seemed more “on” tonight then I remember him being. But, then, when I went on hiatus he had only been playing Frank for a little while. So who knows? But he did really well I thought.

I keep getting distracted by my Ba-Bomb phone dangly thingamabob on my computer…it keeps inching closer to my Tonberry figure, which is trying to stab Eeyore who looks forlorn next to my Carbuncle. Vash is shooting Jack Sparrow, Will Turner has died already. Mr. Potato Head is showing his stuff for Pacifica, and Alucard is laughing while my Troll looks on. My Pirate Blumaroo is being…well piratey and Stitch is doing an awesome Elvis impersonation, while my Moogle is chilling near the quarterdeck while Hook and Peter have a duel to the death. Wow…I’m a nerd.

So yes…Rocky Horror. That’s what we were discussing. Saturn insisted, after the show, that he goofed up in some places, but I didn’t notice, so chances are it wasn’t noticeable by the audience. Leah was hot. Halo was hot. Gillian was hot and shiny. Eddie/Cody kinda had his makeup a little too white I thought, and as a result looked an awful lot like a biker Phantom of the Opera, but he did fine otherwise. After Eddie died, Jason came out with a Deathnote notebook and “quieted” Columbia. Some of the cast was confused (cause they don’t watch anime…silly kids) but those of us who do (and the entire audience) was very amused. I thought it was brilliant. Dinner scene was done in the “Last Supper” way with everyone facing the audience. I’m still trying to figure out why Whitey (audience member) was pulled up there, but he was. They threw Pocky boxes at the audience. I bravely jumped in front of Whitey’s girl and snatched the box out of her hand; she’s allergic to chocolate you see. She could’ve died…but I saved her…and stuff. [/end shifty]

So yes. Dinner scene. Pocky. Chasey chasey. People are frozen. And Floorshow. Floorshow looked amazing. No complaints.

All in all it was a great show with a lot of loud, cheering people. It made the Shannon happy that it was my first show back from Scarbyatus.

Two weeks from now we have Renn Show (waaaaaitaminute...) so yes. June 14th, come get your Morris Dancing on.
