If you're anything like me, you're a sex positive person—but even some of us who identify in such a manner never stepped foot into long-running porn palace, The Paris Theatre. As the WW reported this week, the Paris will be getting a non-porny makeover by the owners of downtown clubs Dirty and Splash bar (with strong involvement from current Paris managers), to become more of a nightlife venue that will feature a bar, dance nights, and occasional event flicks like The Rocky Horror Picture Show. And they will be giving that cool looking (but run down) marquee a new makeover as well—so good for them!
HOWEVER! Since I never visited the Paris I had NO IDEA of the extra lengths they would go to in order to satisfy their customers... take for example these cryptic tweets you'll regularly find on their Twitter account:
WHAAA?? At first I figured this was some kind of spy-level shit, or maybe some sort of nefarious code for potential terrorists—but I couldn't have been more wrong. The code for their tweets are right on the Paris website, and are there to signal when "action" arrives at the theater:
NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE! And I had NO idea the Paris came equipped with a dungeon, a bedroom (for sleepy patrons, presumably), and best of all, a"perky exam table" (!!!)
So this is just an early warning that YOU may want to skip over to the Paris Theatre speedy quick before all those terrific customer-based incentives go away forever. And business owners of Portland (especially CenturyLink)? YOU CAN LEARN A THING OR TWO FROM THE PARIS.
