Greetings to all, especially to those that are fans of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Extra special greetings to any of those who have ever seen it at the Grove Cinema. My name is Andrew and I have been an RHPS fan since '82, starting in South Fla. These days I am still Time Warping thru life with a great group (Fishnet Ink) for the past 37 years, and you can find us if you look fishnet-ink.com and FB.

Anyhow, what I am looking for is some help with restoring an old piece of RHPS history and memorabilia. This sign hung in the front of the Grove Cinema for about 13+ years between '76 and '89. The theater was graced at points with visits from Tim Curry, Richard O'Brien, Nell Campbell, and Sue Blane. The Theater's 2nd Anniversary was featured in The Rocky Horror Picture Show Official Magazine, 1979 collectors edition. Personally I only ever got to go to the Grove about a dozen or so times but the memories and the friends were wild. At least what I remember.

The sign has been stored, moved, shipped, stored, then I picked it up in Texas and brought it back to Virginia. It's in a sad state and needs some love, so I took it directly to a neon guy because more 'storing' was not the answer. He has a plan to clean, remount, repower, in a nice protective case, but it is not a small endeavor nor is it cheap. Looking at something between $1500 and $2000, depending on some materials. So I'm asking fans if they have anything they can spare to help me save this rare piece of not just RHPS history/memorabilia, but a fine piece of glass work-the kind they don't do much of anymore. Once it is finished, in its nice protective case I will be able to loan it out to local bars, breweries and such from time to time, like and art installation. Then I could let people know where and when they will be able to see it locally, get a pic, or maybe a selfie-but no touchy!

There will be more info, history, and updates as things progress. Hopes are to get it taken care of quickly-like the end of Jan or sooner. Please and Thanks in advance.

Andy
