Go see the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Trocadero tonight at 7:30 PM. $3 gets you in and gets you a drink. And of course Johnny Goodtimes will be there with another episode of “Wheel of Terrific.”
Looking for somewhere to eat beforehand? How about Penang or Sang Kee Duck House. Can’t go wrong with either.
