The Rocky Horror Homecoming Show

If you read my precious blog post, you learned about my fondness for The Rocky Horror Picture Show and my excitement for the moviep to be shown at the Jayhawk Theater in Topeka tonight and tomorrow (October 23rd and 24th), with 7 P.M and midnight showings both nights.

Well, incidentally, Washburn University's homecoming is this weekend, and I was not aware of the conflict when I initially made plans to go. First of all, I wasn't even aware the colleges had homecomings. I thought that was something that only high schools did. As a freshman, I continue to learn new things about college life every day.

Homecoming is a big deal this year because it is the university's 150th year of existence, which is why the event  has been deemed as "The Grand Homecoming".

 Ever since my time as a student at Washburn Rural High School, I mainly associated homecoming with marching band, because I was an active member of the Marching Junior Blues all four years of high school, and the band had to participate in many of the homecoming events. Now, I am currently a member of Washburn University's Marching Blues, and the only thing that's changed about my homecoming involvement is the school named "Washburn" that I am attending. I have to be at the homecoming bonfire at 7:00 tonight, march in the homecoming parade tomorrow morning at 10:00, and obviously attend and march at the actual football game later that day.

Because of these commitments, I am planning on attending the Rocky Horror event tonight at midnight, because missing out on it would just break my heart.

As I also mentioned in the previous post, I was thinking about going to the theater in costume, which is a normal element in attending Rocky Horror showings. Unfortunately, I have been so busy that I haven't had time to plan for one, so I don't know what I'm going to do about that. But overall, I am really excited for tonight, and I hope to share my experience on this blog.
