Sweet November Darlings!
Can you feel that
November magic!? WE CAN AND WE LOVE IT. We’re still riding high from October’s finale (we won’t mention
The New York Times article again, oops except for that time !) and can’t wait to harness all our
happy energy into this magical month. Last week October went out with a “wheeee” with our final Halloween
event, a cozy screening of Young Frankenstein. Then, in comes Novembie, flipping her hair and making us all go awwwooooga! October, we’ll never forget you… but we gotta spend some time with this other month now. Friday we loved the Asian American Film Thing (turns out, the “thing” was a show! And it was great!) and then on Saturday it was
Jamie’s birthday AND our best
GoDay! yet! (We’ve decided
GoDay! has an exclamation point in her name for #branding and #marketing purposes, but when used within a sentence it provides issues for #grammar purposes. Such is life! We’ll attend more #marketingseminars and figure this whole thing out in our #sparetime.) So, back to GoDay!:
Double Scorpio Edition. We had the extreme pleasure of having
FRED ARMISEN on the lineup and he exceeded our (unfairly high) expectations. We had a great interview about his creative process, and then he treated us to an
anti-meditation on guitar and a bit of
HAYDN on the piano.
Atsuko got the whole crowd dancing and Jamie and Vanessa were discovered by scouts for
America’s
Next Sexiest Dancers but we turned them down because we got a flarkin' theater to run.
Laura House reminded us that just by reconnecting with our breath we can go on a little vacation right inside our own body at any time.
Barry and Jason turned audience suggestions into games and reminded us how much joy quickly committing to an idea and diving in brings.
And of course there were
cakes covered in scorpions. We’d tell you more, but honestly, you had to be there and also why weren’t you there? GoDay! is the best and it’s also free! Reserve your seats now for
Dec 7th! To further stoke the flames of your
GOMO™ (guarantee of missing out) take a look at
Troy Conrad’s beautiful photos from the event.
Saturday night was a private party version of
The Crossword Show with some very notable people but due to us being classy and all we won’t name names. Just know it was
very cool. Sunday we had
Angela Yee’s Lip Service: Live and it was a stage-full of goodness including
Gilbert "
The Hibachi" Arenas and
Damon Dash whose names we are naming because it was a public event. (More classy etiquette coming up in a sec.)
Harmontown was Monday, and they Harmoned to a sold-out house! Actually, ALL of the remaining
Harmontown shows are SOLD OUT. If you really really really want tickets, here is some advice in our new E-mail advice section "E-Mail E-Tiquette for E-Veryone" from our E-Published E-Book by the same name:
1.)
Don’t send angry and entitled emails! Dynasty never lies about being sold out and an acerbic tone doesn’t help your case. In general, don’t send angry emails to people you’re hoping will help you because people on the other end of your communications have feelings too and if you want a human connection (or if you really want to manipulate someone!) kindness is a much better tactic. Angry emails may fly at
Jersey Mike's or
Burlington Coat Factory, but at Dynasty we respond to sweetness (and low stakes bribery). All that in mind, if we are able to release any tickets, we’ll post about them on our IG stories, so follow those.
<<DEEP BREATH to reconnect with our breath and go on a little vacation right inside our own body >>
Now onto THIS week of delights!
TONIGHT we’re hosting a benefit for the lovely non-profit
Stand Up with Comedy that uses stand-up comedy to change the lives of low-income youth by encouraging creativity, self-confidence, and the belief that their ideas are unique and valuable. They’ve put together a helluva lineup!
SABRINA JALEES, TOM PAPA, FORTUNE FEIMSTER and more! So, attend and support a great cause AND reap the personal benefits of laughter and a night out for yourself too. Multi-tasking.
WEDNESDAY we welcome poet, filmmaker and speaker
MAX STOSSEL for his one man show,
Words That Move He’s going to be tackling topics like heartbreak, consciousness, the emotional state of the world and, of course, how dogs talk through rhythm and rhyme.
THURSDAY it’s our favorite twinset that isn’t
The Olsens, it’s
THE SKLAR BROTHERS! They’re coming Dynasty's way for their show
Tag It! This show gives audiences a peek at the kind of riff sessions that happen in comedy club green rooms all over the world: Comedians perform their sets and then
RANDY and
JASON come out and pitch tags for the jokes in realtime. We have a few stale (BUT SOLID) knock-knock jokes we need to run past them for a punch-up, we’ll let you know the results.
FRIDAY grab your friends…no, grab your FAMILY and come see our favorite big budget action-movie turned regular budget (but priceless!) musical,
The Fast and The Furious: A Musical Parody! Cars haven’t made you feel this many feelings since Disney-Pixar’s CARS, but
those cars don’t sing! So suck on that, Disney-Pixar! (They seem like a good company to pick a fight with! JK. We love you!)
SATURDAY at 7pm come see
Dynasty darling
CAMERON ESPOSITO in
Separately. She’ll make you laugh and also feel feelings and both of those things are scientifically proven to be “good.”
SUNDAY we welcome our friends at
VULTURE for
Comedians You Should and Will Know- a part of
Vulture Festival! We should and DO know the lineup, and its a very good one. We’re talkin’:
HANNAH EINBINDER, VANESSA GONZALEZ, STEPH TOLEV, WHITMER THOMAS, DAVID GBORIE, IRENE TU and more
! Come! KNOW THEM. Monday is another SOLD OUT Harmontown. See above blurb for Dynasty etiquette reminders! "DynEtiquette: because being a jerk serves no one!”
Snugs, hugs, and sinus-problem plagued pugs,
Vanessa and Jamie
