Darlings,
March is marchinβ on and we couldnβt be merrier! Did you KNOW that this is the month weβve chosen to celebrate our FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!? And itβs our mission to bring the beautiful 5-year anniversary term, βQuinquennialβ into the popular consciousness. Happy Quinquennial season to all of us! Weβve got lots of exciting EVENTS and PRODUCTS weβll be rolling out this month as we celebrate being five years deep into a dream-come-true with all our favorite folks (lookinβ at you and you and you and you and you) so keep your eyes on your inbox as we unveil CELEBRATORY DELIGHTS.
Speaking of celebratory delights, there was a flarpinβ WEDDING at Dynasty this weekend! It had it all: a chuppah, a dixieland jazz recessional, puppet interruptions (interpuptions?) and BALLOOOONS! We got to keep the balloons and have finally confirmed: balloons on stage make everyone feel really, really happy. How long 'til these wilt? We know not. But weβll have goofy grins on our face until they go flaccid, at which point we will delicately put them out of their misery with a box cutter.
In other news of CELEBRATIONS and POMP: Weβre having an Awards Show Watch party this Sunday! Free RSVP! And youβll alllll invited. So get dressed up, enter our Oscars pool, bring your acceptance speeches and come hang out at Dynasty, darling! The event will be hosted by Dynasty Darling (and Enchantiversity Professor) DAVE HOLMES, so you know it will be super fun and professionally executed. Last year we DIDNβT have a watch party (Omicron) and honestly? It was a tragedy that we werenβt in a room of brilliant people experiencing the slap heard round the world together. We had to settle for explosive text chains and GIF reactions. NEVER AGAIN. See you Sunday!

But, guess what? Sheβs making a soft comeback. Will it be triumphant slash fine? Oh heck ya. Witness the half-baked ideas and the almost-jokes in real time.
Plus: Sheβs calling in many favors, so her talented friends will also pop by with standup and emotional support. Come be a PART OF THE ARTISTIC PROCESS!
