  • Pink Party Planned Parenthood Benefit : Thursday, August 10th

    When was the last time we all took a moment to celebrate our wins? PPAO’s Pink Party is our annual event to center joy, celebration and community in the face of an anti-abortion movement that seeks to control and isolate us. From driving 1000+ emails in support of HB2002, to voting in reproductive health champions for school board seats across the state, PPAO and Planned Parenthood PAC of Oregon supporters deserve a victory lap!

    We are thrilled to invite you to our 12th annual Pink Party on Thursday August 10th at the Crystal Ballroom! 

    WHAT: 12th Annual Pink Party ft. DJ Anjali & The Kid

    The lively, lovely, unlicensed gastroenterologist Nicole Onoscopi was raised in Albany, Oregon but discovered the art of drag six years ago while working as an actor in New York City. In 2020, Nicole came back home to Oregon and just recently moved to Portland with her husband. A former Miss Gay Oregon, Nicole now reigns as the current Miss Northwest Fierce.

    TIX HERE!

    Atlas happened monthly at Holocene throughout that venue’s first 10 years of existence. According to the story of ATLAS, written by The Incredible Kid: “The first ATLAS was November 1st, 2003. It was the day after a Friday Halloween, and the club was dead. Probably less than a hundred people. We really didn’t know what to expect two weeks later, but there were 400 people there, so after a false start, the party was off and roaring.” Check the full story at https://anjaliandthekid.com/…/the-secret-untold-story…/
