Hi ,I hope you had a fantastic week, what's been happening with you? Hit reply and tell me all about it!I have more Chicago news for you all, hoping you're not bored of them by now - but don't worry, soon I'll be back in Paris and have all sorts of other info to share with you.Meanwhile, after years of vaguely intending to, I finally attended a live screening of the 1975 cult film Rocky Horror Picture Show, and to add on top of it was their annual Pride event so it was pretty busy! The group organizing the event at the gorgeous historic

has been running it for over 30 years!As is traditional, my friend and I received a red lipstick "V" on our cheeks to denote our Rocky Horror live event virginity - and I got an extra mark on the back of my hand. Which I later learned meant I was selected for a preshow performance competition with a wild audience of a lot of people dressed in full Rocky Horror regalia. I was paired with a woman and we did an extravagant fashion show style cat walk strutting our stuff in front of the audience! Of course my team won - possibly because my partner slapped me in the face large dildo! The show was heaps of fun, I really recommend the experience!In other news, I've seen more improv and stand up comedy shows, and I'm really excited to begin my week long intensive improv comedy class at The Annoyance Theater tomorrow. I thought an improv comedy related link is in order before I move back to Paris.Enjoy the rest of your weekend!Cheers,Willem
