Gwen's Corner

Oh man, this show. This damn show. It's always frightening to think about how many people didn't have to dig too deeply into their closets to pick out their outfits for this theme. Or for decorations. If you didn't see the theater, hopefully they got some good shots in the photos, because there was some scary shit. Them Corcoran boys managed to create empty Busch can chain between Friday night's rehearsal and Saturday night's show. Beer signs, mismatched christmas lights, Nascar blankets, redneck shirts on clotheslines, it was like a trailer park imploded into itself. Anyway, here's the lineup:

Frank: Eris
Janet: Megan
Brad: Danny
Riff Raff: Gussie
Magenta: Mary
Columbia: Amy
Dr. Scott: Charles
Rocky: Wes
Eddie: Pete
Criminologist: Sean

Transies: Abby, Adrienne, Austin, Britt, Chris, Jon, Kyle, Lyndi, Rachel, Rex, Scott, Snowflake, and London

Floorwalkers: Jason, Jeremy, Wes, and MarcA : Paul

Tech/Sound/Props: Paul, Bizah, Danny, Mike, Sean, Chris, Charles, Nuggett, Marc, Madame Leah, and Donna

So yeah, just about everyone was in some permutation of wifebeater, camo, hideous makeup, jeans/cutoffs, who knows what else. My eyes just stopped working from time to time. Also, this was another sold out show, which is kick ass. Wish we'd been in the bigger theater for this one, to accomdate the folks who showed up too late to get tickets, but those damn sparkly vampire gays were to blame for that.

Pre-show dancing was of a decidedly country bent, and the rules were in the style of your average blue collar comedy/Hee-Haw show. Leah tried to do announcements, but was just too horrified by...well, everybody and everything involved in the theme, to be able to make it through announcements. Lyndi brought a few virgins on stage to get their hubcaps back from some Bastards, and I led one of the longest pledges in a while, going through a litany of redneck heroes.

Danny honestly doesn't need an excuse to dress up, he's redneck even when he's just hanging out in his underpants. Megan had some dreadful leopard print stretch pants too. Ugh, I'm starting to lose my higher cognitive functions just thinking about this show. Umm, Wes had a duct tape outfit, Gus was a smack user, Jon was a wigger, Jana was lucky enough to have wisdom teeth problems so she was out sick. Amy...man, Amy was just horrifying. Eris was nice and trashy as Frank, which is nice to see...but not nice too, ya know? I need to watch a Nova marathon to cleanse myself.

Charles spent most of the show using the Box as an outhouse, Sean spent most of the show strumming on his mandolin (much like Waylon Jennings, circa Dukes of Hazzard), and Pete kept turning left and turning left until he his a wall JUST LIKE DALE EARNHARDT!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Gus and Mary came out as Team America (FUCK YEAH) to dispense some Texas Justice to Frank, Rocky, and Columbia, and then we mercifully got to leave. Oh White Trash Show...you are so terrifying.

Thanks to everyone that dressed up though, especially the hot ones. Homina homina homina. Good times.
