Since winter has finally decided to grace Philadelphia with its presence, let's be real: You're going to be cold if you head outside no matter what you're wearing. With that in mind, you might as well dig out your best nearly-naked ensemble and head over to the Mandell Theater to party with a "Sweet Transvestite."

You see, over the first seventeen days of September, we noticed some pretty bad theatre etiquette, and we thought it might be time to give you a refresher on why it's important to be courteous and well-mannered during a live performance, and how you can behave accordingly.

• The Philadelphia branch of the Paul Green School of Rock has numerous music videos on YouTube.  Above is their rendition of Sweet Transvestite from Rocky Horror.
• Only Partially Insane creates a musical movie meme about the best get-up-and-dance moments.  (Why did no one tell Phillyist that Hugh Grant shook his thang in Love, Actually?  We might have bothered to have seen it if we knew...)

You could spend your weekend preparing snacks for and making bets on Sunday's Oscar hoopla or you could spend it digging up sparkly, gold-sequined hats, black fishnets and the reddest red lipstick on the market; because come Monday night, after Jon Stewart's opening monologue is already passé water-cooler fodder, the utterly fabulous (yet never nominated by the Academy) film classic, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, will be showing at the World Cafe.
