Drippin’ Darlings,
If you’re an Angeleno we send you breezy wishes to survive the impending heatwave. Nothing says “end of summer” like boiling alive! We don’t know what your survival tactics are, but over here at Dynasty we’re offering a 7 night deluxe beat-the-heat situation. WOW. That’s right, A SEVEN NIGHT SOLUTION TO SAVE YOU FROM HELL?! That’s a FRACTION of the cost of a hotel stay, a trip to Antarctica, pre-death cryogenic sessions, installing central air, or having a local witch send your soul into a foreign marching penguin’s body for a brief period (that costs HUNDREDS!).
So, what have we thought of this time!? SEVEN nights of STELLAR PROGRAMMING in a venue with WORLD FAMOUS 69 degree AIR CONDITIONING and COLD BEVERAGES!
“Now that’s what I call music!”
Why would you call that music, fictional interrupter?
“I wasn’t calling your programming music, I was harkening to a commercial I remember and I BLURTED it out! So sue me!”
Ok, can you leave us alone? We’re trying to write a NEWSLETTER.
“LEAVE YOU? I AM YOU. AND I CAN’T STOP BLURTING UNTIL YOU PROPERLY MANAGE YOUR ADD! I’M GONNA KEEP POPPING UP!”
Great.
“PS: You’re never gonna sleep again” 😈
🙄
For the 2% of dear readers’ we’ve retained, we’d love to let you know there are still a very few tickets left for SARAH SILVERMAN Wednesday! GRAB THOSE TICKETSSSS!
Now peruse our week’s offerings and plan your BEAT THE HEAT calendar now!
Drip,
VanJam
