Location: San Diego, CA

Marital Status: single

Children: No kids

Have you or would you let your kids see Rocky: Once they were old enough to understand what they were seeing.

What I'm doing these days: I write books under J. Carlysle Ramsey. I write sci-fi novels and Broadway-style musicals

People from Rocky I've kept in touch with: None, I'm afraid.

Why I first went to Rocky: I first attended it at a theater in Bremerton, WA. I then started going to see it at The Neptune in Seattle while I was stationed in Bremerton. When I transferred back to San Diego, I started going to see it at The Guild.

How I started performing: I started out as a Transylvanian and migrated to Riff Raff.

Food I ordered after the show: I didn't usually go out. Never much of a night owl, I'm afraid.

I last performed: in 1984 at The Ken

I last saw Rocky: Oh, it’s been many years.

Did I buy the Rocky DVD? Of course. I have Rocky on almost every imaginable media: Laserdisc, VHS, DVD, Blu-ray; and have had the soundtrack on cassette, LP, CD, and even 8-track tape.

My favorite Rocky memories: Oh, there are lots. Going to Fresno with Debbie Golding to do the show there. Taking Mishell K. under our wings to help her do Magenta (the Kelly she refers to on this site is probably Kelly Gibbons--grandaughter of Ule Gibbons of GrapeNuts fame, who was doing Magenta at the time). Teaching Mishell to drive in my Chevy Cavalier. Great sadness when Kelly got married and dropped out of the scene (I still miss her!). Hanging out with Alexis, Kelly, Mishell, Sabrina Lawson/Franson, her fiancee/husband Rick, and all the other great people.

Partying at Marc Mead's place with Squidly Bob and their roommates (Allyson and RJ). The day we were at Marc's and there were all these fires going on in San Diego, and we saw the sunset reflecting off a window in the distance and called the fire department, thinking that it was another real fire, and just as we figured it out, the firemen showed up and we told them we didn't place the call! Going to the Dream Police parties and not indulging (I was in the Navy at the time--you know, drug tests and all that)--it was a little awkward for me, as I was not very good at interpersonal relationships then.

Building the lab wall at work and bringing it to the theater (it actually lit up--I was so proud of it!). Creating the gold lame space suit outfits with Kelly and Sabrina (I actually wore it to the Rocky Horror production at the Diversionary a few years ago--it seems to have shrunk a bit, though!!). Making Pina Colatas at the Ken. All the great times waiting in line to get in. John Martin dressed as Tootsie. The "fun" and the "fights" with Brian and Megan. Switch night (when we would all play members of the opposite sex). Working on and collecting costumes. As the song goes, "Those were the days, my friend..."

I have been into writing lately, sci-fi novels and Broadway musicals. You can listen to one song that I wrote at www.tagged.com/JackTinBuff (sung by my friend Faith Page).
