The 2nd Annual Miss Twin Peaks Pageant is happening on January 26th, and it's as close as you'll be getting to One-Eyed Jack's for a while.
Manhattan's Parkside Lounge will be transformed into the Pink Lounge for the event, which Agent Cooper thinks will "be a place both wonderful and strange.” And organizer "Francine" confirms: "The Miss Twin Peaks title is the most coveted honor in this little town."
There will be plenty going on that night (including the show itself screening on the tv), but the main event is the burlesque performances from locals like Audrey Horne, Shelly Johnson, Norma Jennings, crazy Nadine Hurley, and even The Log Lady. There will also be doughnuts and theme cocktails... but no word on cherry pie or damn fine cups of coffee.
The event takes place at Parkside Lounge (317 East Houston St) on the 26th at 11 p.m., and tickets are $15-20.
