Nintend-HOES: Nintendo Themed Dance Party + Drag Show at House of Targ!

Why should you never change around Pokemon? Because they'll Pikachu!!

Hey gamers! Get ready to super smash your way to House of Targ on Saturday, June 6th for a very special night. From Super Mario to Kirby, this is a night of nostalgia you won't want to miss. You'll be thinking things like, "Oh my god! I remember this game!", and "I used to play this all the time and now a really cool drag artist is dressed as my favourite Nintendo character!", and "Why am I thinking in exclamation points!"

What better venue to host this night than Ottawa's coolest arcade and bar: House of Targ! Make sure to play some games and try out their new Pokemon Pinball! And don't lose the chance to chow down on some amazing pierogies. Your iconic hosts are Saltina Shaker (the video game girl herself - playing video games since '97) and Sunshine Glitterchild (dry bones). Joining this chaotic drag duo are Cyril Cinder (drag king extraordinaire), Elle Faekwa (Mx Capital Pride 2019), Bae Root (*insert toad scream here*), and the charming Esther Royd.

Perfect venue + perfect theme + amazing drag = HIGH SCORE!
