Dynasty Darlings,
It’s February! And a LEAP year February at that! Ok, let’s talk about it. February has a LOT going both for
and against it. The weird extra R, the varying length, the housing of Valentine’s day which you either
love or
love to hate (or are
ambivalent towards, but intensive #marketresearch has revealed that hyperbole is more fun in a newsletter than nuanced truths, and we paid a LOT for our market research team, so we listen!) February here at Dynasty is like the perfect box of truffles for our Darlings, curated by someone who really knows your impeccable taste and adorable complexities. See our
monthly calendar below and get all twitterpated and goo-goo eyed.
Last week, we bid farewell to
Jan(uary) and she went out with a shish-bang-boom! It was thrilling to host a conversation between
Neal Katyal and
Rob Reiner and we feel like it definitely made us smarter, so watch out cocktail parties -- our small talk game just got
refined (we’ll still burp on command if you insist, but now
with more eye contact.)
Mark Normand delivered two amazing special tapings to two sold-out crowds,
WorkJuice imrprov'ed so damn hard,
Joe Machi was a delight,
Russell Brand expanded our consciousnesses’ (again: watch out cocktail parties! again: we’ll still burp on command, but now with more
presence),
Everything’s Great was great n’ everything! Saturday we started February with a Dynasty Tonight that was a flarpin’ love-heart delight with a line-up of our favorite folks.
Sunday took a break from being the Lord’s day and became
SHAKIRA and
J. LO’s day. Whatever virgin’s blood they’re drinking, pour us a DOUBLE honey! But perhaps last week’s most notable moment: while dancing to a vocalized slow version of
“Get Ready for This” by 2 Unlimited in the alley behind the theater (while Russell Brand was on stage), Jamie and Vanessa stumbled upon a magical space between our building and our neighbors that could become an enchanting new
Dynastyland attraction. You’ll need to attend our Valentine’s Day party to find out!
And now, to the dismay of Garfield empaths everywhere, it’s Monday! But it’s a delight for us because
TONIGHT we’ve got the very humble
GREG PROOPS with his
Smartest Man In The World podcast at 8pm! And who needs a bouquet of roses for Valentine’s when you could have a REAL Rose
TOMORROW? It’s
ROSEBUD BAKER at 8pm. She’s a comic, a writer, an actor, and the Village Voice named her the Very Best of Just For Laughs New Faces, so come see her face for yourself.
WEDNESDAY we have another
Live Talk, this one is double-Adam style.
ADAM DAVIDSON (NPR’s Planet Money, Peabody winner) discussing his book
The Passion Economy with
ADAM MCKAY (VICE, SNL).
FRIDAY we’re so excited for
Outtake-O-Rama, a live show comprised of infamous celebrity outtakes featuring the legendary stars of FUTURAMA…
BILLY WEST!
JOHN DIMAGGIO! And
MAURICE LA MARCHE! Plus head writer
DAVID X. COHEN! Experience the most horrifically entertaining treasures ever mistakenly put down on tape by
William Shatner, Richard Nixon, and many more. Plus the latest from
Trump Brannigan! This will be followed by ANOTHER delightful collection of monster scenes, this one more literal. It’s
Friday Night Frights & Slashback Video presenting a Werewolf Celebration, they’ve put together a wolfy preshow and it will be followed by a werewolf movie that has never had a theatrical release… howl about that!
SATURDAY means it’s
Dynasty Tonight! Night! We can’t wait! We’re so excited about this lineup, probably because we picked it out ourselves. We’ve got
DEMI ADEJUYIGBE! JACKIE TOHN! LAURIE KILMARTIN! MARY LYNN RAJSKUB and more, sweet darlings. Join us!! And stay all night because at 10pm it’s
GREG BARRIS’ DEEP HEALING - we’re just going to put his description of the event here because it’s really good and evocative and exciting: Please wear loose, comfortable clothing. Be psychically prepared for movement & vulnerability. Allow yourself to open and release. Bring your most healing gifts in the form of a song, a sound or powerful healing thought. With
RORY SCOVEL and musical guests
KENRIC MCDOWELL and
GRIFFIN MOLLY.
Then we’ve got a solid-gold
SUNDAY featuring a double dose of Dynasty dates! At 2pm it’s a very Oscars-ish
GO! DAY (The G’Oscars!).
GO! DAY is our free monthly dose of enchantertainment™ hosted by
JAMIE and
VANESSA and featuring some of our favorite artists, entrepreneurs, and sources of inspiration. Join us and get a peek behind the curtain of the theater, and a peek behind the curtain of… your own limitations.
GO! DAY: BE LIMITLESS (slogan borrowed from our upcoming GO! DAY sports drink ad campaign.) This month will feature faves
BARRY & JASON,
BRENT FORRESTER, RACHEL BRODEUR and
RITA OLIVIERA and the lovely
JEANIE BERGEN. Then at 4:30, we’re metaphorically roll out the red carpet (unless anyone has any literal red carpet we can use!) for an
Oscar’s watch party! We’ll have ballots, pizza, and a cash bar. You should: attend! Get all dressed up (if you want to! No presh!) Bring a themed potluck item (again, if you want to! No presh!) and get ready to watch HISTORY BE MADE. Or at least watch the awards show. Our night’s very dapper host will be Hollywood’s own
DAVE HOLMES. We can’t wait to watch with you!
Sweet love,
VanJam
PS:
Come to our flarpin’ VALENTINE’S PARTY!
