First Part: Uh, i was dragged up today to play the part of Half-shit.

Something interesting about yourself: interesting... i enjoy a fresh pair of slacks, a dry martini shaken not stirred, feeling randy in the morning, sleeping through my alarm clock, anything film/literature/music. i play the bass, try to play keyboard, wish i could sing... i love meeting new people and making an ass out of myself. i personally enjoy awkward silences, and the inane banter that tries to fill them up.

Hello! My name is Kristine aka Crack-Whore Spice aka Cast Slut.
I was on cast around '96 or '97 or '98 (sorry, too many drugs- messes up the ol' memory).

I played everything except Riff and Frank. Mostly Janet and Columbia and Rocky. I've seen RHPS in 4 states.

I love John Waters, the Spice Girls, Paris Hilton, and my idols are Little Nell and Mink Stole.

When I moved to Denver, CO in '98 I took my love of crossdressing and costuming to the wonderful world of anime. Check out my website at: www.gattschan.tk

I would LOVE to hear from any "OLD" Rocky people!!!!

OK... so I'm old and really tired and I posted this as a new discussion. Sorry. I'll try this again.

Name: Tammy Wallace (formerly Barnett)

Sign: Sagitarius

Joined Cast: Former 'Round Rocky' cast member from '85 to '90

Parts Played: All but Rocky and Eddie.

Favorites Bands: Too Many too list.

Something Interesting About Myself: I was arrested at a Halloween show dressed as Scarlett O'Hara.

Current Pic: I will post a current pic as soon as I scan my old cast pics in to go with it.

Ok. Now that's out of the way, who among all of you darling babes remembers these names and knows what may have happened to them?

Monty "Snake" Crow, Sam & Phil, Allen, Ziggy, Greg, RC, Shay, Greg, "Fuzzy"Chris, Christie (last name eludes me at the moment), Katrina Reed, Tom Patterson, Noah Henderson, Denny, Bob & Marka, Mike & Mary Claire, Dianna, Katt, Daniell, ... there are others but I have already caught up with them. This should be enough to rattle some one's memory. I would love to hear what every one is doing these days.
Take Care, T

Location: that's rather complex. . .
All right, here we go:

Name: Rene L.
Zodiac Sign: Aquarius
First Time I Saw It: Oh Jeez. . .let's see what would have been . . .some time around late '94 early '95
Favorite Bands: Melvins, L7, Nirvana, Toadies, TAD, Alice In CHains, Jack off Jill, STiffs Inc., Scarling, EYEHATEGOD, Deadboy and the Elephant Men, Beatles, Acid King, Babes in Toyland, Bowling for Soup, My Chemical Romance, Decemberists, Faith No More, Harvey Danger Jude, Helmet, Hole (Pretty on the Inside and Live Through THis only), Hum,
Jesus Lizard, Kitty, Life Sex and Death, Local H, Marcy Playground, Sleep,
High on Fire, Thulsa Doom, Khanate, Ministry, Motorhead, Electric Wizard,
Nine In Nails (esp older stuff), Paw, Queens of the STone Age, Radiohead, Romeo Void, Ruby,Screaming Trees, Skunk Anansie, Skyclad, Sonic Youth, Soul Coughing, Mudhoney, Cure, Scissor Sisters, Savatage, Black Sabbath, Ozzy,Seven Mary Three, Dead Kennedys, Liz Phair, Cyndi Lauper, Garbage, System of a Down, Tool, generally anything grungy,
psychedelic, noisy, heavy, or depressing, or any combination of the above. . . especially combinations of the above.




Something Interresting: I am compulsively creative. I was the lead singer of least successful metal band ever in New Orleans. My love of British commedy has caused me to quote Eddie Izzard at inopportune
moments. I hate cold weather, but for some stupid reason evacuated to Massachusetts. (and got stuck here) I will be moving to Austin int two weeks to stay for a couple of months until I can get back to New Orleans. I write poetry, fiction, and music, as well as paint. I am several types of geeks rolled into one. (Sci-fi geek, science geek, comic geek, RPG geek, kareoke geek, Trekkie, AD&D etc.) I tend to laugh uncontrollably when tired. My most recent job was doing inventory at a porn shop. I have been a professional music critic, and would really like to be again. I never shut up.

Recent Picture Don't really have a workable one right now. Look for a white guy with long dark hair, wire-frame glasses, and a pack of cheap cigarettes. Most likely dressed in black, and unless it's extremely hot, I will most likely be wearing a ratty black trenchcoat. Basically, imagin if a hippy, a goth, a metalhead, and a nerd all exploded while standing very close to each other. I'm made out of the parts.

'lo folks, I'm Doc from Radio Nosferatu annnnd thanks to my relationship or eleven years going the way of Shatner's natural hairline, it looks very much like Austin is going to become my new home. I'd love to offer my station to help promote the show in any way I can and I'd love to help
out with tech a couple Saturdays a month until things get settled in for me and I can devote more time. I'm going to be coming down for a visit with some friends there the 21st-23rd of July and I'd love to meet you all.

Now, on to The Introduction.

Name: Doc Webster (actually Clay Evans, but I've been going by that nick for so long now it may as well be my real name)
Zodiac Sign: Pisces
Joined Cast: Not just yet, but soon. Ah yes, soon I hope.
First time you saw it live: Haven't seen Austin Rocky yet, but as near as I can recall my first live Rocky was in August of 1993.
First Part: Back home, I was Eddie for exactly one night and then moved on to Doctor Scott (and yes, at some point I'll tell the story of why I stopped playing Herr Scott and moved on to Crim. It's a tale of pain, applause, and welding)
Parts you play/hope to play: Crim/Doctor Scott
Favorite bands: Got a spare year?

something interesting about yourself: I can lick my own chin and I dig The Holy Caffeine. I've lost 137 pounds so far and I'm well on my way to my old football playing days weight of 250. Diet and exercise ftw. I challenge any cast or crew member to a Duelling Shatners impression contest. I'm typing this under the influence of a pretty intense lack of sleep and thus make about as much sense as a bag of hammers the little green men are crawling up my leg again oh God please make them stop.

Welcome aboard, Mr. Doc, sir!

Gimme! I love a good story :D


The thing you have to understand about the Vogue was it was an old vaudeville theater with an actual backstage dressing area and sloping aisles. I would make my entrance as Doctor Scott from the top of the left aisle where I would fetch up right before the stage right steps. Well, I have never been a wheelchair user before in my life, nor have I since, and I usually had somebody help me down about half way so I wouldn't rip the skin off my hand trying to slow the chair down.

Well, this particular night a rather large fellow was prepared to help me down when he lost control of the wheelchair and rather than being able to grab it again he managed to accidentally give it a rather hefty shove and thus added to the momentum.

Now picture the scene, if you will - there's Jon (Frank) and Sam (Riff) on the stage right steps waiting for Herr Doktor to make his entrance. They look up and see me out of control and hurtling down the aisle at a pretty good clip. Jon's eyes got wide as saucers and Sam yells "OH SH*T!" at the top of his lungs and dives out of the way. Just as Jon scrambles out of the way, I crash into the steps. Oh - had I mentioned they'd recently been reinforced with concrete? I plow into the steps, go flying and smack my head against the stage. The chair is totalled, I'm feeling my head to make sure I don't have some kind of contusion, and Jon is asking if I'm alright.

The rest of the theater? Standing effing O, baby!

I manage to finish the show, but the chair is totalled. It actually had to be welded back together. Oh yeah, it was only after the show that I noticed I'd broken my ankle too. But by God, I finished the show!
