Come early to get a good seat! (6:30-8:30 Nomi Gusta! Showgirls: The Peaches Christ Experience camps out for PDX Edition W ho can forget the timeless tale o f Nomi Malone, a simple, cheeseburger-scarfing, pole-licking dancer with a dream? There’s no getting around the enduring cinematic train wreck that is 1995 s Showgirls , and our beloved Je s sie Spano— née Elizabeth Berkley— transformed from caffeine pill-popping scholar to coke-snorting dingbat. Yep, this A ll About Eve for the Gen X set— notorious for its bad just about everything (acting, dialogue, taste)— simply begs for the communal audience experience. Cue Nico Bella and Fleur de Lethal, who will present the PDX Edition alongside a very special guest host, San Francisco midnight movie maven Peaches Christ (aka Joshua Gran- nell). For one night only, audiences can heckle the screen whoring and much more, from a Nomi vs. Cristal cos tume contest to drag performances and— extra bonus alert!— a free lap dance with every large popcorn. Stumptown staples ChiChi and Chonga and Carla Rossi will join Peaches for gloriously tacky preshow action, and fiercer still, the bravest o f participants have a chance to compete in the Ultimate Nomi-thon, a five-level obstacle course that involves pulling switchblades, “angry fries,” floor thrusts, the critical lip gloss application and, o f course, lap dancing. Sabotage and interference aren’t only allowed, they’re encouraged. You really can’t go wrong with this one— which is to say, you really can’t go right. To paraphrase our poor girl-gone-wild Jessie, we’re so excited... and maybe just a teensy bit scared.
