The RHIS FAQ, now in stereo!
(1) How do you do this?
(1) How do you do this?
...The persons responsible for translating this FAQ into stereo have been
sacked. We now return you to the original mono version.
(1) How do you do this?
Well, it's a combination of two things. On the technical end, we have the
"movie" courtesy of the Audience Par-tic-i-pation double CD set streamed
via ShoutCast. We do AP lines via IRC in #rf-callahans on Undernet. That's
the simple explanation. Then there's the *other* stuff. For the ShoutCast
portion, you can use just about any decent audio player out there, these days.
Check and make sure it's capable of receiving streaming audio, though. For
Windows folken, Winamp and RealAudio 7.0 and up are the most widely known
proggies. For the IRC portion, you can use just about any irc client. Just
point it to Undernet on Friday and/or Saturday nights (unless otherwise noted)
and then join #rf-callahans.
(2) Other stuff?
When we first started doing this over five years ago, all we *did* was
A.P. lines. Then we decided to take, as nicknames, the names of our
favorite characters. That evolved into doing bits from the movie, in
character, via the /me command. For example, the command
/me bops up the aisle to the throne
translates to everyone else in the channel as:
FrnkNFrtr bops up the aisle to the throne.
Assuming of course, your nick happens to be FrnkNFrtr at the time, but I think
you probably knew that.
(3) Okay, great! Weird, but great.
Oh, it gets better. Once we decided on doing the whole show in character,
we started pitching in little "role plays".
(4) Is that anything like when you have me put on the rubber lizard suit
and you pretend to be the insurance salesman from Altoona named Morty?
*SHHHH*. No, we started RP'ing stage business, and cast interaction. For
instance, you might get:
FrnkNFrtr: (Dammit! I left the lid off my whiteface last week. Kiri, do
you have any spare?)
Magenta slides Frnk some whiteface.
Actually, Kiri has plenty to spare. Kids, there's a *reason* she's known
as our Community Chest. ;)
(ducks quickly)
Anyway, we do stuff like that. Gives more of a full feel to the experience.
(5) Isn't that a little, you know, nuts?
Well, let me explain something. By and large, the folks involved with
putting on this splendid madness don't have an active Rocky cast near them.
Some do, but do this simply to have fun. So, we decided to make our own
fnarkling Rocky Horror experience, and it really took off.
We've actually performed live, once, with the Denver RHPS cast Denver's
Dynamic Tension - a few summers back.
(6) Interesting. Do you do anything else with this?
Glad you asked. We have a preshow montage that I run over the ShoutCast
feed, sometimes including radio shows (we've done the Hitchhiker's Guide to
the Galaxy episodes, among others) that air just before the movie starts.
Before *that* happens, I generally get the party mood going by playing
bits of music, bizarre comedy, and general mayhem.
(7) Hey.
What?
(8) You've got weasels on your face.
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! GET 'EM OFF ME! GET 'EM OFF ME!
(9) Hee hee.
Sadist.
(10) Anything else?
Well, we also have our webpage.
(11) Which is?
Under Construction at the moment.
(12) Splendid. Anything else I should know about?
We have an email list that's very low traffic indeed at rhis@yahoogroups.com .
Creative, I know.
Now, any other questions?
(13) Yes. What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
I'm sorry, but you're a very silly person and I'm not going to interview
you.
(14) Bet you're gay.
... no I'm not.
Annnnyyyyway, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to go
stick your head in a pig. SORRY! I mean, please don't hesitate to email me
at docwebster at livejournal dot com and ask. But sign up for the email list.
(15) BUM!
Ooo, what a giveaway.
Note: New Year's Weekend shows info coming later.
