Dear Dynasty Darlings-
How was your "V Day" weekend?! Full of that sweet SELF LOVE we hope! Because ultimately whether or not you are single or in a relationship or in a situationship or in a throuple or in a polycule or in any number of other "arrangements," you realize that ultimately you or the other person or people or avatars(?) are merely reflecting your love back to you. Isn't that so cool?! What we're trying to say is, you're [likely] great!
ANYHOO... As you may or may not know, both parties of the duo named VanJam that put together these weekly correspondences are Scorpio ♏️. Which is why we're also called Double Scorpio 🦂🦂 (mostly by the media and our arch nemesi). On this President's Day did you know that one of them was born on the same day as not one but TWO former US presidents? If you can guess which two we'll give you two free tickets to ANY any show coming up! Hint: It's two of the least consequential former presidents (as far as amount of time given to them in school textbooks in the 80's and 90's at least). Wait, we immediately see a flaw in this contest so we'll just immediately cancel it and say it's the seemingly unheralded James K. Polk and Warren G. Harding. Ok, how about this: Guess the flaw in this contest and we'll give you a free firkin of DynaPop! (with toppings of course!) on your next visit to Dynasty! Bonus: We'll throw in free stickers if you can also offer your favorite non-presidential birthday on that same day! If you are confused by this entire paragraph, you are probably correct. And THAT's The Dynasty Difference!™
ANYHOO... Did you also intend to watch a bunch of the SNL50 stuff this weekend but found the Peacock App (that you downloaded to watch USA Basketball during the Summer Olympics with the intention of deleting it but have been paying for it ever since and ultimately only watched one USA Basketball game which makes the pill even more difficult to swallow) difficult to navigate and only caught the very end? We'll just have to assume it was mostly a 3 hour tribute to Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, which without, in all earnestness, Dynasty Typewriter would not exist.
ANYHOO... It's a new week. We hope it is a real nice one for you! Come to Dynasty if you need to get away! You know we'd love to serve you up some of our signature enchantment with a side of DynaPop!™
WE ❤️ you very much!

10:00PM: Psychic Reading Comedy Show
In this one-of-a-kind comedy show, psychic readings are performed on comedians, staff members, the band, and audience in between stand-up sets.
This show is different. Come for the laughs, stay for the insights. Prior to starting comedy, KATIE BLUNT had a private Psychic Practice. She can’t tell you your future—you have free will—but she can see memories and tell people the roots of their trauma and what is informing their current passage in life.
Brought to you from its New York origins and accompanied by live music, this show is available for one night only at Dynasty Typewriter in the heart of Los Angeles!

ERICA RHODES
