1) Find Lizabeth Stockton during the day at Club 740 on Friday. She will happily answer any blocking questions you have. Clue 740 has a balcony and stairs that should be utilized by the performers.

2) There will be a Rocky Horror blocking rehearsal on Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Million Dollar Theater on Saturday. It is not mandatory, but if you have questions about your blocking, it might be good to stop by.

Also, feel free to email Lizabeth with any blocking questions you might have.

See you in a couple of days!!

• We will be providing shuttles! You will be able to hop on a shuttle to get from the Standard to 740, the Alexandria, and the Million Dollar Theater.
• We will also be providing bag checks at 740! This allows you the ability to skip heading back to the hotel to change from your Friday-day wear to Rocky Prom wear. Please try to change during the break or during Shock Treatment, if you’re not in the show. There will also be some changing areas in the Alexandria, but we need to move it (move it) after Shocky and clear out 740. Unclaimed bags will be taken from 740 to the Alexandria in our shuttles, so if you don’t need it after the movie, please don’t clog up the line

And lastly… a note about partying at the Standard (and why maybe you shouldn’t sit/stand/sex on the hotel room desks):

Howdy, Deadly Sinners!

We can’t believe the convention, over 2 years in planning, is less than a week away!! omgz!!111.

The Standard says it is excited to welcome us. Room assignments are being done and it is looking so cool. They wanted us to tell you that they know we are crazy party people, and we have come to the right place. But check this out … and let this be known by all … in fact, repeat after me: I. State Your Name. Will Not. Break. _Anything_.

No, really: Due to the Standard’s unique designy coolness, *everything* was custom-made and is very expensive to replace.

The following is a list of replacement costs, and it has the potential to Blow Your Mind.

Desk Chair – $600.00
14’ Desk (Desks are Not For Sitting!) – $1000.00
I-home – $450.00
Lamps above the bed – $400.00
Foam Foot in WOW Suite – $3000.00

(And you thought the minibar charges at the last con were a problem.)

Most of this stuff is built industrial-strength for the drunken rockstars (like us) the hotel was built for. Be smart and party responsibly and you’ll be fine like Frankenstein.

Did we mention there are waterbeds? In pods? On the ROOF?

First, a few notes:

• Haven’t registered? PLEASE DO! You can register at the door, but we like to know ahead of time to expect you!
• Did you buy a t-shirt when you registered? If you haven’t received it yet, let us know. We are now no longer shipping shirts to Convention attendees. You will receive a voucher at the Registration table when you sign in, that will let you pick up your shirt at our Merch table.
• Did you register with an e-mail that was different from your normal email? Check it! You might have missed a message from us.

ALSO! Spots are still open for the Rocky Prom Salon! Get all dolled up for the Rocky Prom before we leave for the Alexandria! More info here!

You can choose to bypass the talent portion of the competition, but you will not be eligible for the top three prizes, which are:

Pretty Slick Costume Bitch!
Supreme Costume Bitch!
Grand Supreme Costume Bitch!

These top prizes will be given to people who excel in two or more areas of the pageant. Meaning, you can have a fair-to-middlin’ costume but be awesome at blowing bubbles in your Magenta sheer, and charm the pants off the judges with your Q&A, and end up being a Bitch.

Don’t miss the chance to be crowned in front of Barry Bostwick!!

We are compiling a slideshow of Rocky Horror history – all 35+ years of it. We’re going to play it on screen before the big show Saturday night, and We’d Love It if you guys can help!

We need good to high quality photos (jpg is perfect) of Rocky history – not just some performers in a theater that could have been taken any year, but historical moments, like when Pat Quinn visited you, or when someone got married onstage at your show, or when disaster struck and people in Rocky Horror garb pulled babies out of burning buildings. We also need images of Rocky press, like when the movie broke a record, or when Richard O’Brien was given the Nobel Peace Prize, or whatever.

Please send images to slideshow (at) sinscon.com by Thursday night September 16th to have them included. That’s in three days!

THANK YOU. we also hope to give out copies of this slideshow to all of you at con, so have your history be a part of everyone’s history!

in community,
Sins O’ The Flesh

Traditional Ink Tattoo will be providing the highest quality tattooing at a discounted price, just for you Rocky Horror Convention Attendees! We will have a Rocky Horror Picture Show inspired sheet of flash designs and cast logos. About a week before the convention, we will have a picture of the flash sheet available for you all to look at online. If you don’t see something that you want, get in contact with us at least 2 days before the convention so we can have a stencil ready for the weekend. We will not be doing any personalized designs on the spot at the convention due to the volume of customers expected. Prices will start around $60 and go up from there. Once the designs are finalized, we will also have a finalized price list (CASH ONLY). The Traditional Ink crew is excited to tattoo all of you unconventional conventionists. Please contact us with any questions on our Facebook at Traditional Ink Tattoo or at 661-478-4837.

And be sure to check out all the other Vendors/Sponsors to see what’s in store for you!

Perhaps your afternoons are packed on our Convention Weekend. Maybe you’re sad that your budget is super limited and you can’t afford a ticket. But you KNOW that you still want in on some of the fun… and you know we want you in on it too.

Well guess what? You can buy tickets to both the Rocky Prom AND the 35th Anniversary Screening separately from a convention pass! And if you buy them online as opposed to at the door, you save a pretty penny or two!

Visit http://rhps35.com to purchase your tickets for the 35th Anniversary Screening, on Sept. 25th!
And visit our Facebook Event to tell us you’re coming!

Now, in case you’ve missed some webcasts and are wondering What the fuck is Rocky Prom?!…

The 35th Anniversary Screening of the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Million Dollar Theater invites you to party with us, Rocky Horror Prom style, the night before the big event.

Prom Update!

A few good Sinners are volunteering their time on Friday and offering a Prom Salon for our convention guests! You can get your hair and/or makeup done at Club 740, so that you arrive at the Alexandria in style! Visit the Prom Salon Forum Post to find out how to setup your appointment.

We really want the Saturday night show to be about you, the Rocky Horror community. We want to show you off to the rest of Los Angeles! So in order to accomplish this, we’d like every cast (that can manage it!) to bring us a poster that displays your passion for Rocky Horror and celebrates the 35 year tradition. You can create a poster, put together a collage, whatever you like that displays your passion and tradition. The size should be the classic 27×40. Style, content, and overall feeling are the parameters we will judge by. The winning poster will be autographed by Barry Bostwick for the cast to take home and display in their theater!

Please email info@sinscon.com so we know what to expect!
