Hello sweet sweet darlings,
Don't you love those
November moments where there’s ALMOST a slight chill in the air? But then the next day the temps are up, the state is on fire, and it’s back to rollerblading with your bros on the boardwalk! Throw in some EPIC
Pink’s chili dogs, an
Angelyne sighting, and a road trip to
Palm Springs, and you’ve got yourself a classic flarkin' LA fall, bebes! The past week was splendid, from benefits to tapings, earnest and amazing poetry/dance to bonkers and delightful musical parodies of unexpected films, we really feel like we never have to leave the comfort of the Dynasty’s
gently reclining seats to see something wonderful. AND SO WE DON’T LEAVE. Our skin is starting to adhere itself to the red pleather upholstery and we’re totally fine with it.
This week we’ll have no reason to move a muscle (but we’ll have our
BellPops tend to our every need. Did you know we call our DynaDarling employees BellPops? Now you do!) because once again, we’ve got it alllll honey!
TONIGHT we’re so very excited to host the
20th Anniversary of Carissa’s Wierd’s debut album, "Ugly But Honest.” Sometimes we can’t decide where to start and stop a piece of hyperlinked text so we just go
squirrelshart crazy and do the whole thing. We’ll have Carissa’s Wierd founders
MATT BROOKE and
JENN CHAMPION in the house playing stripped down versions of some of their classics, and also sharing stories about making the record. If you like music, cool things, or intimate conversations we’ve got many hunches you will enjoy this.
WEDNESDAY it’s word superstar and puzzle-provider to the stars,
ZACH SHERWIN with
The Crossword Show! If you’ve read the newsie, you’ve certainly read us sing the praises of this show before and as much as we hate to be redundant, THIS SHOW IS SO GOOD THIS SHOW IS SO GOOD! It’s smart, fun, hilarious, and flarkin' IM PRESSIVE. Bring a date! Bring your mom! Date yourself! Come and watch Zach puzzle with Dynasty favorites
BARATUNDE THURSTON and
LAUREN LAPKUS! If you’re sitting there thinking, “How can a crossword show be…. fun?” Well, we’ve sat where you’re sitting, mkay? And then we took our toned, tanned tushes to the show and founnnnd out! Follow suit! Then at 10pm it’s NY comic
ABBY FELDMAN with
Life Is Amazing, her hour of singing and joke slinging about chasing enlightenment (and sexual excite-enment.)
THURSDAY g‘head and put your red laces in your hiking boots because we’re hosting an event with
CHERYL STRAYED, author of
Wild and
Tiny Beautiful Things and creator of hit podcast
Dear Sugar, for
A Chasing Grace Project’s premiere event! Join us (and learn more about Chasing Grace’s awesome initiative) for the reception, screening, and a Q & A! At 10pm we welcome
MYQ KAPLAN for his newest hour of comedy,
imPERFECT. Come and get a break from your own brain by going on a wild tour through his (he’s got a beautiful, scenic brain full of twists and turns)!
FRIDAY… did someone say Fri
YAY? Or did everyone stop doing that a year ago and now we look like dumdum pops?! Or, like TGIF before it, has ANY way of expressing gratitude for Friday become generally embraced (if eyeroll inspiring) in our lexicon? What we're getting at is: Would you eat at a restaurant called Fri
YAYs? Asking for a friend who's thinking about opening a hibachi restaurant with that name. Reply to this email with your vote (Fri
YAY or Fri
NAY) for a chance to win tickets to an upcoming show at Dynasty! Regardless, Friday is going to be a good day, and the night is going to be great because we’ve got a double-serving of
AISHA ALFA and
BILL BURR! We’ve got a
8pm show and a
10pm which means you’ve got no excuses, hot stuffs!
SATURDAY? More like
Smokeshowday! We’ve got TWO of 'em, and you’re invited to both while supplies last (which truly won’t be long- grab tix! These babies are about to sell out.) At 8pm it’s
AMANDA SEALES’ amazing, personal, hilarious podcast,
Small Doses LIVE! She gets real and then she KEEPS IT THAT WAY. Then get downright feral with
Wild Horses!
STEPHANIE ALLYNNE, MARY HOLLAND, LAUREN LAPKUS and
ERIN WHITEHEAD will treat you to a thoughtful wine-fueled conversation and then some thoughtful wine-fueled longform improv! This month’s special guest is
MARK DUPLASS! Yeah,
THAT Duplass!
SUNDAY is Vanessa’s birthday! Which is neither here nor there but she may or may not be writing this and it may or may not be on her mind as a looming reminder of mortality! Also, there will be shows at the theater. At 2pm we’re working with our favorite bookstore,
Skylight Books, to put on a book launch for
SHELBY LORMAN’s book,
Awards For Good Boys. If you’re not familiar, check out Shelby’s IG account @awardsforgoodboys, it’s amazing, and so is her new book! Full of comics, illustrations, and written vignettes
of hilarious feminist commentary on our patriarchal society. Be a good boy and come, won’t ya? At 7pm we’ve got a screening from
Big Lez Show creator
JARRAD WRIGHT of
Mike Nolans Long Weekend In his own words, “It’s 5 episodes of fucken nothin’” and we think
that sounds flarkin’ cool. Then MONDAY it’s one of the final three Harmontowns. Harmheads, we’re sorry for your impending loss!
Lindt is in the air,
Vanessa & Jamie
