THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW—complete with live shadow cast and costume contest—returns to the Springer Opera House on two nights:

🎧 Oct. 17 (Vinyl Night), sponsored by Blue Canary Records
✒️ Oct. 24 (Ink Night), sponsored by Tomcat Tattoos

Vinyl Night Costume Prize: limited edition 50th anniversary soundtrack LP on red-in-gold colored vinyl, courtesy of Blue Canary Records

Ink Night Costume Prize: your next (or first) masterpiece with a $200 gift certificate to TOMCAT TATTOO

If you've never experienced the live shadow cast, you owe it to yourself to see it at least once (or twice, if you are a master of disguise with a vinyl & ink fe**sh).

Join us for a night of barely-controlled insanity at Georgia's historic state hunting lodge for rich weirdos!

This is the Springer's 10th year of Rocky Horror, and I have the unenviable privilege of hosting the first shows in a Tim Curry-less world. So we owe the good doctor a proper Going Home celebration.

And if that's not enough motivation, it's also my birthday (well, close enough).

Tickets on sale now at SpringerOperaHouse.org or in person at the box office, Monday-Friday 11AM-3PM.

Time to go home, Frank.

New merch available on the Bongo Bakehouse Threadless store 🧶

Check out bongobakehouse.threadless.com to show some love for Columbus, GA's favorite woman-owned bakery with rad mid-century logo designs (which is a very real business category, I promise).

I admit that apparel isn't really something I've spent a lot of time on previously, but after meeting the Threadless exec team at Licensing Expo a few years ago***, I decided to dip my toes into that world. Let me know what other items or designs you'd like to see!



***(Technically, I first ran into them as I was ranting about ska music while drinking rum out of a Pringles can, but that's another story...)

📣LAST CALL FOR THE SPRINGER'S SEASON OPENER

But before we officially lock the DREAMGIRLS playbill, I want to make sure all of my friends in the Columbus, GA business community know about the Springer Opera House's crazy-good partnership program:

Starting as low as $500 for the entire season, advertising with the Springer puts your brand directly in front of 113k+ captive patrons and hundreds of resident artists year-round.

As one of the only National Historic Landmarks still producing professional shows, the Springer is more than our hometown theatre. It's an iconic venue that's 30 years older than the oldest active theatre on Broadway, while still staging an ambitious slate of shows for our city's modern and diverse population—a living creative hub, not a past-facing mausoleum (well, unless you're on a ghost tour 🪦).

Share the spotlight with the Springer this season and be a part of the hottest ticket in Georgia's second-largest city!

Oh, and did I mention the tax-deductible part? That's important, too.

I bought this MacBook Pro in 2017 to animate the closing title sequence of the movie SGT. STUBBY. It has survived dozens of airport screenings, an NTC rotation, and countless questioning looks from senior military, government, and corporate leadership at our accessory choices.

It actually works just fine, but has reached the age where every program is refusing to open because digital ageism.

Via con Dios, old friend. On the upside, now I have a blank canvas to go ap***it with new stickers.

FUN FACT: I probably wouldn't live in Columbus, GA today if hadn't started hiring me to do posters for him nearly 20 years ago.

But after two decades, this is our first collaboration across state lines—all the way in Phenix City.
