Hey there, Boojie. I know it's been a while since we've even talked, but it would mean the world to me if you would do something for me. I wrote a letter to you guys thanking you for the experience I had while a regular at the Pink Invaders shows. If it's not too much trouble, could you read this at tonight's show? And if not, could you at least let Shawn, Rodney, Zero and everybody read it? Hopefully you get this in time (I'm sending this to Zero, too. Just in case.) Sorry if it's a little long.
LETTER STARTS HERE My name is Nick Murphy, though you may know me better as "that hairy little faggot in the thong." I'm so sad that I couldn't make it to tonight's show. I wanted to be there in person to say all of this to you guys, but this will have to do.
I only started going to Rocky in April of 2005, and I unfortunately had to move away in November of the same year, so I was only able to go for about six months. But for those six months, Rocky was the most important thing in my life. It was the only thing that kept me going sometimes, and it was all I thought about for the rest of the week. It was a huge help in helping me let go of any insecurities and inhibitions I still had.
At my first show, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I eagerly waited for the show to begin. Then the lights dimmed, and Shawn got up in front of the audience, and the show began. First came Shawn's introduction, then the reading of the rules, and then the Transylvanian Oath. Then, after we had given a rousing "R-O-C-K-Y," the show started. Once that night's Trixie came onstage, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what to expect. Needless to say, I was wrong. Trixie went down the aisle, and for some reason, thought I was worth giving a lap dance. I was only sixteen at the time, and needless to say, this got me a little excited, so I threw my head up, yelled "I LOVE THIS SHOW!" and smacked her in the ass. Thus began six months of decadence, nudity, and absolute pleasure.
In the course of those six months, I changed more than I would have ever thought possible. When I started, you would have been lucky to get me say the word "sex" without giggling like a schoolgirl. By the end of my experience with the Pink Invaders, I had been given a lap dance from three men and one woman, been spanked with a studded belt, tasted Dougie's shoulder (it tastes like a cinnamon roll, by the way), traded outfits with a complete stranger, been made honorary Superqueer, been propositioned by upwards of twenty different men (twice in front of my father), mooned 300 people at the same time, been in a competition with Shawn to see whose ass was hairier (I won), threatened with a taser, made out with a guy for the first time, and walked around in nothing but a thong for most of the shows I went to. If you couldn't tell, I changed quite a bit during my experience with the Pink Invaders.
Besides all of this, I met some of the most amazing people I've ever encountered. I want to give an enormous thank you to Boojie, Shawn, Ed, Rodney, Zero, Karly, Dougie, Superqueer, Serenity the Sassy lesbian, Jimbo, Ryan, and everybody else who's been involved with the Pink Invaders, even if it was just as a member of the audience. I would not be the person I am today if I had not met these people. I want to say that I honestly and truly love every single person that is in the Crossroads theater tonight. I especially want to thank Shawn for keeping the show going for much longer than he probably should have, even if it meant going severely into debt.
You guys have no idea how much of a difference you've made in my life. I thank you from the very bottom of my heart. I wish you the best in all you do in your lives. So, for one last time, Give Me An R... END OF LETTER
I also want to give a personal thanks to you, Boojie. You're one of the most loving, sweet, and all-around amazing guys I've ever met. You were a big part of the reason I loved Rocky so much. I wish you happiness in all that you do. Thank you.
