His first exposure to ''Rocky Horror'' was in 1974 in a record store in Shrewsbury, NJ, where he discovered the recently released ''[[The Rocky Horror Show]] - Original [[Roxy Cast]]'' LP in a record bin. In August 1978, he heard [[Tim Curry]] singing "[[Sweet Transvestite]]" for the first time on the Dr. Demento Show broadcast on KMET 94.7 FM. Intrigued by the music, he saw ''[[The Rocky Horror Picture Show]]'' when it opened at the [[United Artists Cinema 4 - Tyler Mall]] in Riverside, CA on February 2, 1979. He quickly became a regular participant as a [[Transylvanian]] with a loosely organized group of fans known as [[The Riverside Rockys]]. In August 1979, he became one of the first ''Rocky Horror'' fans to regularly play [[The Criminologist]]. In November 1979, along with [[Vid Kadavre]], [[Julie Ford]], and [[Richard Gifford]], he founded [[Erotic Nightmares]], one the first regular, full-time ''Rocky Horror'' performing groups on the West Coast. He also became a member of [[The Tiffany Troupe]] at the legendary [[Tiffany Theater]] on the [[Sunset Strip]], performing there from 1979 to 1983. He was one of the first ''Rocky Horror'' fans to see ''[[Shock Treatment]]'' at a private pre-release screening at [[20th Century Fox]]. Troy still performs occasionally, and he remains an active member of [[The Rocky Horror Picture Show Official Fan Club]], attends ''Rocky Horror'' performances and events, and is an avid collector of vintage [[Rocky Horror Merchandise]]. He maintains a website dedicated to his personal ''Rocky Horror'' experiences, and is a major contributor to [[The Rocky Horror Wiki]]. |
