Dearest Dynasty Darlings (Da Triple D),
We continue to bask in the autumny glow of 🦂 SCORPIO SEASON 🦂 'round these parts. It's been a particularly and literally eventful one so far: so many events! We love hostin' 'em and puttin' 'em on and creating an enchanting escape from the outside world once you enter through our hallowed doors. In our experience, people generally seem to appreciate entering into a magical, vintage typewriter-y realm with relics of "simpler" times. Times when writing machines were unwieldy and you really had to have a keen knowledge of margins and tabs and if you misspelled something on a document it required white paint, or completely starting over. And then, if you wanted to make sure that a word like hallowed was being used accurately, you had to open up an unwieldy book and have keen knowledge of alphabetization and if it wasn't correct it required... white paint. ZING! Look at us, connecting dots. If you'd told us 5 minutes ago that we'd have callbacks to both the word hallowed AND the concept of white out, we'd say "You're batshit!" But now look at us! "WE'RE batshit!" And owning it! HA! Now THAT's The Dynasty Difference!™ ;)
Last week was indeed a wild one here, and without getting into the finer details of it, we'll shout out the 99% of folks who come here and are sweet and gracious and appreciative, and say BUG OFF to the 1% entitled few who come to corporate events we host and give attitude to our overly kind staff and do things like choke an innocent toilet to death with a stack of trifold paper towels though there is toilet paper readily available and then say “your toilet’s broken” with the vacant eyes of a serial killer, or fill their bags with handfuls of packs of Skittles and Nerd Ropes n' such and. Sure, there's a concession buyout and you can take what you want, but be reasonable, people! Take a candy or two and leave some for the others! A reminder that these things are readily available at ANY GAS STATION. And gas stations are everywhere in this car-obsessed world we live in! This seems like an appropriate place for a quick additional shout out to our elevated chocolatier partner, Compartes. Compartes: delicious locally sourced chocolate with gorgeous package design, an upside down triangle logo like ours, and available before and after all shows at Dynasty. One day we hope to do a hot collab with them. If you are reading this and have ties to Compartes, help us to make that happen. There will be a reward.
Side note: Apologies for the shade given to gas stations earlier. Gas stations are great. Or evil? Who's to say. Send us an email with your favorite gas station story or a petroleum based haiku for free tickets to something soon! Maybe we’ll also end up doing a hot collab with a gas station! V interested in the one with the little Dino guy. (Sinclair, we believe? Not to toot our own horns for knowing all this ELITE INFO ). Listen, we try to seem down to earth but yes… coastal elite. 🤷♀️ It’s GEOGRAPHY people, calm down.
In final things, whilst a small portal to hell continuously opened and closed at the theater last week like a little whackamole that we kept trying to permanently shut down ( but our mallet was… love ) Jamie spent those days on a retreat in a cabin in a remote forest in Albion, California, a birthday gift to himself! It was more rustic than he'd planned for, though he did know going into it that he would be showering outside in the elements and shitting in a bucket as part of a Humanure™ composting situation. The trip wasn't the creative boon he'd planned for, but he met some lovely people, explored the beauty of the Mendocino coast, discovered a lovely arts scene in Fort Bragg, learned how to build a fire in a wood stove after two freezing nights, awkwardly chopped wood for kindling, picked apples and made apple juice, saw a batshit Scandinavian puppet show, and most of all enjoyed peeing off his tiny second floor balcony into the darkness at 3am every night. The major takeaway: Sometimes you don't get the retreat you wanted, but you get the retreat you needed. (Shout out to the great folks at Salmon Creek Farm for hosting, highly recommend!)
Our mallet is Love,
VanJam
PS- 🦂 This week is also Vanessa's b-day so wish her a happy one! It's also Frank's (Jamie's Dad) birthday on the same damn day! BATSHIT!! And happy bday to all the other Scorpio's in our Dynasty world! Are you one too? Email us and we'll do something special for you on your next visit! 🦂
Now, to our upcoming shows! So many good ones!
