Last night, Joe's Pub in Lower Manhattan was transformed into The Road House for The Miss Twin Peaks Pageant. There were Log Ladies kissing each other, odes to Annie Blackburn, a burlesque performance with pie and coffee, and some cartwheels from Nadine Hurley. Unfortunately, no one did any 'fish in the percolator' interpretive dances.
Amelia Bareparts, one of the aforementioned Log Ladies, was crowned Miss Twin Peaks 2014. Click through above to see some semi-NSFW photos from the show, and a video of the "Chug A Lug" contest below (both audience members won copies of David Lynch's Dune).
