THE EXPERIENCE
Join “Fun Experts” and co-creators of the beloved guidebook The Portland Book of Dates for a twenty-fifth-anniversary screening of Serendipity! Before the film, Eden Dawn and Ashod Simonian will take you back to dating in 2001, when there was no swiping and your best shot at love was AOL Instant Messenger or a coworker. Then they’ll put the room to work in a round of “Red Flag, Green Flag” where the audience decides what good dating behavior is. Bring your sweetheart, bring your friends, or come solo (and keep an eye on who’s waving which flag). Cuffing season starts here.
ON SCREEN: Serendipity
2001. Directed by Peter Chelsom. Runtime: 1hr 27min. Rated PG-13.
Although already in relationships, two strangers realize they have genuine chemistry after a chance encounter—but part company soon after. Years later, they each yearn to reunite, despite being destined for the altar. But to give true love a chance, they have to find one another again.
ON STAGE: Eden Dawn & Ashod Simonian
Eden Dawn holds a Guinness World Record for co-producing the world’s longest drag show, is an award-winning journalist, a PNBA bestselling author, a veteran stylist for bands and fashion editorials, and a sequin-wearing lady with a microphone. You can often see her performing at storytelling events, moderating panels, chatting through live television segments, and hosting her own quarterly “Fashion in Film” series.
Ashod Simonian is a creative director and co-founder of Imaginary Authors, a niche perfume house, and author of Real Fun, a book of photography and stories documenting his decade spent touring the world in various indie rock bands.
Together, Eden and Ashod first began publishing the Book of Dates series in 2021 as a natural extension of their adventurous, overextended lifestyle, bringing together Eden’s passion for words and Ashod’s hand-crafted illustrations. They live in a slightly creaky 100-year-old house with their two cats, Daphne and Foxglove, constantly scheming on the next fun thing to tell you about.
