Rocky Horror Fayetteville

So I went to see a live "little theater" showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show over the weekend. First off, I'd like to say that I had no idea there were as hip a folks living in this city as the dude that played Frankenfurter. Great voice and stage presence (reminded me of Ziggy Stardust - aka David Bowie), I'm still trying to figure out if he's gay or not since, on the intermission this mesmerized young fellow came up and exclaimed how shocked he was to see his "hairdresser" in such attire. Yes, Frank is a hairdresser by day. Now, being a hairdresser myself I've met many a straight male stylist. Anyway, my point being - Fayetteville might not be as lost as I thought it was. Now if only I can find out where those hip cats hang out! Sadly I have a feeling their evenings are spent rehearsing. But it's nice to see that even small town North Carolina can put on a show like this! My faith is restored in the local arts!

LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

You ever get in one of those moods where you just want an extended period of time to yourself? This might sound totally unsocial but I'd love a good solid month where no one calls me (unless they're returning my calls). I know that sounds terribly selfish but I swear right now I'm being pulled in so many directions that I feel like a Stretch Armstrong doll (now I'm showing my age). I am not kidding when I tell you that I cannot get through a day right now where someone isn't trying to make plans to do something with me, most of which involves someone coming to visit here or me going out of town. It's almost laughable at this point. Alone time is good people! It gives you the opportunity to get all up inside your head, do some soul searching and commune with yourself. It's wonderful! Give it a go!!!
