Also just as a reminder, our next webcast is on the 1st as well, where we are announcing the All-Star Cast! Check out the Facebook event and let us know you’ll be there!

Next Webcast, Event Signups, and More!

Friday, August 27th, 2010

Con is officially less than a month away, and boy do we have a lot in store for you! Remember, if you haven’t registered yet you should do so now before the price jumps to $95 on 9/1!

Our next webcast is scheduled for that same day, 9/1 around 6:30-7PM PST. Check here for the link! We will be revealing the official CASTING for the 35th Anniversary Convention show!

Also, if you are interested in participating in the Rocky Feud, we will be picking teams at the webcast!

Wait, what the hell is Rocky Feud? Ever watched a game show and screamed at the T.V. that you know an answer the dumb contestants didn’t? Ever wanted to get on the stage and show everyone how easy it was? Well, here’s your chance! We are taking names to participate in the Rocky Feud. Just like the Family Feud, but more perverted. “Survey says” it’s going to be a great time.

If you think you have what it takes to guess responses given by a Southern California Rocky Horror audience, send your name in to info@sinscon.com along with your cast name and whether you would like to be considered for the team captain position. We will draw names for a team captain, 4 team members and 2 team alternates for 4 teams. You must be registered for the convention to be eligible.

Check out these pictures of our last Feud here.

We have heard lots of talk about Cast Preshows, which is great! However, we only have a set amount of time for live preshows. Even if you’ve mentioned your plans to us before, SIGN UP for a time slot at The Preshow Registration Form before 9/5. If you have a video preshow, sign up too so we know! The more the merrier with those.

Announcing…the ROCKY HORROR COSTUME PAGEANT!

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

So, you’re a really good tap dancer and you’re sick of those Columbias who win costume contests by just standing there.  You’re an Eddie who can blow a saxophone like nobody’s business…or you’re a Janet who can literally suck the chrome off a trailer hitch.  Well, now you can win an AWARD for that!

The 35th anniversary costume contest will be like no other contest before.  It will have three sections:

1) a question-and-answer section where you must answer a question in character
2) a costume parade where you and all the other people dressed like your character will strut your stuff on the catwalk, and
3) a talent section where you can do anything you want, in character, for 90 seconds.  You can shadowcast a scene, play an instrument, recite a bad poem, or light your farts — as long as the kids aren’t horrified, it’s a go.

This is your opportunity to be as creative and ridiculous as possible, while still giving you a chance to win an award for having the most perfect tap shoes (sequins!  No, rhinestones!  No, sequins!!!)

Awards will be given for each individual character.  If you do not win an individual character award, you are eligible to win one of the top three pageant titles, the highest of which is the GRAND SUPREME COSTUME BITCH (or ASSHOLE)!

(If you wish to enter, please email casting@sinscon.com.  We would particularly need to know if your talent will require an audio, video, or other special setup. You may sign up right until the day of the contest, but we need to know about special setups in advance, or you’ll be singin’ a capella, baby.)

SinsCon Facebook Contest!

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

Is your cast in need of some new costume pieces? Perhaps a Magenta Space Wig? Or how about a full set of Floorshow arm gauntlets? SinsCon wants to help you out and get the word out about our Con to your fans and audience members.

How? We’re going to have a voting contest on Facebook! The cast who gets the most votes will be able to nab $100 of Rocky Costuming*!

What do you have to do? Well, read these goddamn rules. READ THEM CAREFULLY. There aren’t that many, we promise. If you do something incorrectly and your vote isn’t counted, we will not be held responsible!

First, one of your cast members must be coming to SinsCon in order to claim the prize. We want you to come represent your totally awesome cast!

Second, voters MUST be fans of us on Facebook. If you don’t Like SinsCon yet, why the hell not?

(If you’re not on Facebook… we still totally love you. You just can’t vote.)

HERE IS HOW YOU VOTE!

Update your Status with the following:

“I want [your cast of choice here] to win the @Sins O’ The Flesh Convention Audience Participation Costume Challenge, and you should too!”

You may have to type out “@Sins O’ The Flesh Convention”. What you want to happen, is to have the status “tag” or “link” to our Facebook Page. This ensures that your vote will show up on our page’s wall. If your status post does not end up showing up on our wall, you may repost it there!

Votes will ONLY be counted if:

1) You are a fan of our page.
2) The status is on both YOUR wall and OUR wall and links to our page.

Take a little time to make sure it works out right! Because you can only vote once anyway. Duplicates will NOT be counted.
