Happy Dynasty newsletter day to all,
We hope this note finds you well! We wish it could be written on parchment, rolled into a scroll, sealed with wax and delivered by a large clever bird. Alas, we're forced to settle for digital mail delivered by digital “chimp.” MOVING ON.
You know what can be rough? Life. We love sending you happy silly emails, and we love feeling (1) happy and (2) silly. But lately, truth be told, the weight of the world is nearly impossible to escape. We’ve been having unfortunate conversations like “what is our gun policy?” (answer: no guns!) and while enjoying our own families, thinking about all those who have been separated. While trying to create magical, childlike experiences, there are scores of children who are in the midst of unthinkable trauma at uncaring hands. What do we do with this? As a society? As creatives? As people with hearts? We’ll be voting, we’ll be making calls and sending letters, and we’ll be getting up every day attempting to center our hearts and minds around our mission, which is to do good and make good and help put some positivity in the world. This is not the content you came for! But we just wanted to let you know that we're aware a lot of us are feeling very “what’s the point.” We’re tying to remember that the point is sometimes absurdity and happiness and escape. The point is opening our doors to great experiences and sharing them with great people. And hopefully all that good stuff can help energize us to work against all that bad stuff, and hopefully Dynasty becomes for many what it already is for us, a place full of love and humor and art and celebrations.
Oh, look!
AND CHECK THIS OUT!
If you donate more than $100 dollars this week and send us a receipt, we’ll PUT UP A MARQUEE OF YOUR CHOICE! AND throw in tickets to an upcoming show. And we’ll even split a Lindt with you. That’s right! Give a charity $100 or more, and we’ll do it up big for you. A custom marquee is a great way to:
- celebrate something!
- do a weird joke!
- taunt a reality TV star that's begging for it!
- propose?!
Ok, ON TO THE CONTENT YOU CAME FOR.
 SHOWS! Last week we had em! Highlights include; The Crossword Show! ZACH SHERWIN’s brain baby is growing up REAL nice. The Crossword Show with special guest MAYIM BIALIK (Blossom has blossomed into a PHD wielding, Big Bang star who is GOOD at crosswords!) and panelists IRENE TU (specialty: three letter words) and CHRIS GARCIA (speciality: potty talk) was th e most fun, most impressive, most grin-filled show. If you missed it, do yourself a favor and don’t let THAT happen again. Get tickets for next month’s show now! Max and Nicky Weinbach put on a great show! Misfit Cabaret brought their bay-area variety show to Dynasty and the stage has never seen more people in nautical gear! We also fell in love with burlesque performer FRANKIE FICTITIOUS who was more like Frankie REAL DEAL with her fan dance! Saturday we had one of our most successful and fun GO DAYs to date. With BRENT FORRESTER inspiring us, STEVE HELY cracking us up and reminding us of importance of finishing projects, and SASHEER ZAMATA letting us in on productivity secrets and telling us exactly how important she thinks a dead fish’ resting place is.

Oh look! A love letter from a #yingyangtwin! He didn’t have a yelp account but wanted to let the people know what he truly loves: Dynasty Typewriter, 🍿 Dynapop (a lifelong popcorn magazine subscriber!) and of course, the decadent elegance of Lindt premium chocolate from premium chocolatiers. Every love story is a Lindt story. What’s your Lindt story?

Fresh off her 2018 GRAMMY Award for her album Feel What U Feel and the release of Lullaby Girl, multi-platinum singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb will be stopping off at Dynasty as she hits the road throughout the month of August. Lisa says her live shows offer unexpected and varied delights: “I love playing songs from my entire catalogue and telling stories. Every show is different than the last: the audience, the venue, the pre-show snacks – you never know what’s going to happen.
