Hey there sweet Darlings,
It’s we! Your friendly neighborhood VanJam (Vanessa and Jamie in case you still haven't figured out the #nameglob) just absolutely RELISHING this beautiful, festive, President’s Day. The lights! The gifts! The gathering! The Chester A. Arthur! Holiday magic has never been more 🪄 potent 🤩! Which Prez do we have to thank for these mattress and couch prices, baybeeeee? It’s probably just the elves, ceaselessly working to delight. And the aforementioned Chester. (Fun Fact: Jamie shares a birthday with James K. Polk AND Warren G. Harding! American heroes, or not! Hard to find any info on them but we'll assume they were great with policy. Vanessa shares a birthday with Gordon M. Lightfoot and recent Lovett or Leave It guest Danny M. Devito, who while not officially presidents, are at least presidential.)
Our D’Elves™ are up to their own magic n’ mischief this glorious day. And boy, do they have a week lined up for you!
Our present is THE present! Like, now!
MONDAY, TODAY, PRESIDENT’S DAY: PAT REGAN- SOLD OUT! We’re so excited to have Pat back and you are too, cause he sold out like THIS: picture the D’Elves snap their impossibly tiny fingers, their eyes aglow with Pa’gic.
TUESDAY Second verse, same as the first! PAT sold out another show because he is both IMPRESSIVE and CONSISTENT.
🧩 WEDNESDAY Top secret meeting of the inner circle of the Dynasty Puzzle Club. Inner Circle Puzzlers, PLEASE remember to bring a shareable salad, your favorite incense, and to wear the velveteen shawls we had delivered to your homes last week. If you don’t wear the shawls, it shows disrespect to your fellow puzzlers and also is a waste of your membership dues. Also, Leeza worked really hard on them. Those who voted AGAINST the shawls, PLEASE STILL WEAR THE SHAWLS. Next quarter we’ll get jerseys, ok? And we’ll make sure the shawl-voters wear the jerseys.
THURSDAY at 7:30PM: LOVETT OR LEAVE IT! With MONET X CHANGE, CHAD & JT, and APARNA NANCHERLA! We love JON LOVETT and he’s outdone himself with this guest panel! Join JON and these heavy hitters as they unpack the headlines of the week and have funnnnn doin’ it.
🤩 FRIDAY at 7:00PM: The Last Improv Show! DAN BLACK and CHRISTINA CALPH are producers who doooo the dang thang right! More like, proDOcuers, riiiight? Any way, The Last Improv Show always delivers: high energy, amazing cast, and bonkers guest monologists. Live AND Live-streamed, so there’s no excuse nor need to miss out on the magic! Geography and family dinners be damned. Where there’s a will, there’s the internet.
