Hello sweet Darlings,
Ever look up at the moon when it’s visible during the daytime and have that feeling “Oh, that’s just our planet’s MOON.” And then you start lowkey spiraling because you live on a PLANET that has a MOON and it’s not “the” moon because there are likely BILLIONS of moons for an unimaginable amount of planets danglin’ around out there in the many, many universes (Neil deGrasse Tyson, if you’re reading this, please be friggin CHILL and don’t fact check us and write us an annoying “informative” email like last time 🙄. Neil, we have DIFFERENT audiences and we write for them accordingly.) and here you are, a creature in a sea of creatures on a planet in a sea of planets with a moon in a sea of - and you think, WOW. Perspective! Life is magic! And then some friggin’ MOOOORRRONNNNN doesn’t use their blinker or turn left when it’s yellow and you’re both stuck in an intersection and the primeval rage that courses through you thoroughly annihilates your glimpse of enlightenment. Nirvana cannot seemingly be reached with MORONS ON THE ROAD!
Anyhoo. VanJam loves you, and hopes you too are getting a lot of sage advice from wise astrological-influencers for this eclipse season.
If you are, then you just know that we’re holding out for April 12th, when, according to all the IG reels we’re being served, everything will be Different and Aligned and Better. 🤞🏼✨🦂🐦🔥🐦🔥🦂✨🤞🏼
Until then, we have created a character called Moron Volcano™. A sentient volcano who exists... to devour morons. "But how do the morons get in the volcano?" is a question you, intelligent reader, are surely asking yourself. The answer is simple: They, the morons, willingly sit in a giant spoon that acts as a catapult. They, the morons, are EXCITED to sit in this spoon that acts as a catapult. It’s important to note that they LOVE the feeling of being flung from the spoon. So even though they are ultimately submerged in lava, you don’t need to feel sorry for them. So the next time you’re faced with a moron, simply envision yourself pointing them to a big spoon, and saying “Mount up, lil’ buddy!” Moron Volcano™ fan art and fan fic WELCOME! The hottest content MAY BE FEATURED in our “iconic” (Neil deGrasse Tyson’s words, not ours) livestream pre-show!
🌋 Thar she blows,
VanJam

🩸 MONDAY, 3/10, 7:30PM: About Those Miscarriages and Other Messes I've Made
A savage glimpse into the messiness of motherhood and miscarriages - and, of course, there’s music because parenting is friggin’ beautiful. BETHANY HALL has created a hilariously savage glimpse into the realities of motherhood and miscarriages. Raising kids and building a family is so complicated and invigorating that it makes you want to shout and cheer and cry all at the same time. This show rejects the isolation, shame, and guilt surrounding miscarriages and parenting. With great humor, it thoughtfully combines pain and grief with the thrilling, breathtaking (and exhausting) joy that is parenthood.
Written & Performed by: BETHANY HALL
Directed by: MAUREEN TOWEY
Music by: ANNE EISENDRATH
