The East Coast has Camp John Waters and now, over Easter weekend, folks on the West Coast will get their own John Waters (live! in person!) event. On Saturday, April 11, fans of the filth elder can flock to the Madonna Inn, the famous pink palace in San Luis Obispo with over-the-top themed rooms, for Lethal Amounts’ John Waters Easter. Talk about two mints in one!
Celebrating the 30th Anniversary screening of the classic film “Cry Baby” with live commentary by John Waters himself. Followed by Q&A with surprise special guests.
There will also be the first annual ” Edith Massey Memorial Easter Egghunt” in the Madonna Inn enchanted gardens.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on February 7 on Dice (an events app) for $96.05 each. Sadly, rooms at the Madonna Inn are already sold out, I checked. But don’t let that stop you, there are other hotels in the area that are just a short drive away.
