The Penis Parade in book 6 — The Eye of the Bedlam Bride

Anaconda is one of its lead dancers (ch. 5); a coupon for a massage at the Penis Parade or the Penis Palace Back Room Relaxation Spa — the seedier club on the first floor, where Donut usually goes (ch. 11). Katia places it on the top floor of the Desperado Club, its entrance the front for the Guild of Suffering (ch. 19, ch. 22); coins fall like hail and a skinny young crocodilian in a Penis Parade T-shirt gathers them in a bucket (ch. 23); Samantha wonders whether Anaconda is working tonight (ch. 33).

The Penis Parade in book 7 — This Inevitable Ruin

Bucket Boy, the crocodilian kid, is a former attendant of it (ch. 16); Doctor Bones was its DJ (ch. 30). It has reopened with all new dancers, and so has Bitches, and nobody knows where the old ones went; Splash Zone means to go back and keep looking for them (ch. 56). Gluteus Maxx and Doctor Bones are summoned with the team's soldiers (ch. 65).
