It’s been 35 years since Agent Cooper made his cameo into Twin Peaks lore, and all the while losing its dreamer David Lynch. We are hosting a commemorative Twin Peaks party for the ages you won’t forget!
Fans will recall Lynch’s reprise in “The Return” as FBI Deputy Director Gorden Cole bolstering FBI Cheif of Staff Denise Bryson (enacted by David Duchovny), Cole famously exclaims, “When you became Denise, I told all of your colleagues, those clown comics, to fix their hearts or die.”
We culminate this untimely culmination of events into a night to commemorate our endearment of Twin Peaks, loss of David Lynch, and moment to stand with the trans community. ALL proceeds from this event will go to the Transgender Law Center.

DJ Dale Cooper spins records like he's solving mysteries—smooth, enigmatic, and always with a damn fine groove. Whether in a smoky club or the depths of the Black Lodge, his sets are a perfect mix of dreamlike ambience and dance-floor fire, served with a side of cherry pie and a damn fine cup of coffee.
While she calls Chicago home, Sally Marvel is an internationally performing circus-sideshow and burlesque artist. Notable appearances include Hansa Theatersall (Hamburg), Zurich Burlesque Festival where Sally was a headlining artist, Torture Garden (Edinburgh), Halloween Horror Nights (Singapore), Circus Journey productions (Canada), and touring with Hellzapoppin' Circus Sideshow Revue.
She is strange, alluring, and death defying! Joining the feminine with the bizarre, Sally curates entrancing yet visceral experiences for her audiences to indulge in. She hopes that witnessing her acts will create an opportunity for audience members to escape the mundane, to question what is possible, and to explore their own minds.
