09:00 PM : KANSAS CITY BOMBER @ Hotel Deluxe Parking Lot

Movie/Film/TV Flyered by kmikeym

Join us five stories up atop the Hotel deLuxe's parking structure (729 SW 15th Ave) to enjoy the magic of a balmy summer night in Portland (yes, we have them) with 360 degree, moonlit views of the city at its most urban and urbane. The evenings begin at 8pm with live music and refreshments. Gracie's Restaurant will offer easy-to-juggle meals, snacks and cocktails, and additional beverages will be available from TAZO and Sierra Nevada Brewing. The screenings start at dusk-around 9pm-depending on the somewhat predictable, but ever-changing, whims of darkness. Bring your favorite portable chair or blanket, but please, no pets or outside food, or drink. Admission $7.

KANSAS CITY BOMBER
US 1972
DIRECTOR: JERROLD FREEDMAN
THU AUG 23 8:00 PM HOTEL DELUXE - 729 SW 15TH AVE
Roughhousing Roller Derby diva K. C. Carr (Raquel Welch)-"the hottest thing on wheels"-is reluctantly traded by her Kansas City team to slam for the "Portland Loggers." As divorcée K. C. tries to balance her climb to B stardom with the strains of single motherhood and sexual harassment, the difficulties of a gritty, nomadic lifestyle take their toll. Glimpses of Portland in the 70s (The Expo Center, Kenton Club and more) and the seedy world of a once-hot but dying sport provide atmospheric backdrop for hard-hitting, over-the-top derby action. BOMBER boasts a standout performance from Welch (who did her own skating, and even broke her wrist!) and an early glimpse of a nine-year-old Jodi Foster as her daughter. (99 min)

The Rose City Rollers will be in attendance! Music: Sexton Blake
