All right. We at Res feel there’s absolutely nothing to apologize for in regards to the ONE item missing from the sidebar “things we agree on”. Yeah, we all love The Knife, The Arcade Fire, Kylie.
We are all also equally enamored with the saga told by auteur Robert Sylvester “R” Kelly, involving the working metaphor for society, namely his “closet”, and the interactions of those who inhabit this world.
Yeah. Trapped In The Closet.
We at Res spent many a night, and many a morning, devouring each essentially inconsequential detail of the first 12 chapters-everything from the “trapped in the closet” two-step shuffle, to the fact that, apparently, the crooked-ass police assumes a ghost from the dead lurks, of all places, behind his fridge.
Most of our adventures exploring Trapped In The Closet Chapters 1-12 have been chronicled in the dedicated livejournal community Chuck And Rufus: The Global Closet.
Tomorrow, the majority of we Res-folk, both immediate and extended fam, who’ve been knowin’ Rufus for a couple of years now-namely myself, Bette Noire, R Jamz and Lauren Alexis-will be taking apart an advance viewing of chapters 13-22.
Right. Here.
That’s right. We’ll pour one on the ground for our homies who won’t be there-Trixie, Hacks, Dr Shlomo Zelig-but we gotta keep it movin’. The chicken in a box in a wok is heating up, and Tina and Roxanne will not wait.
Tomorrow, Sunday, August 19th. 5 P.M. EST. The Res Trapped In The Closet Liveblogstravaganza. Be there or I’ma shoot somebody. Real talk.
Oh yeah, some real real talk to hold you over:
