Hey there you sweet, sweet Darlings!
How you been holdin’ up on these mean streets? We’ve been blessed with just a flarpin’ PLETHORA of PALATABLE PROGRAMMING, and we admit… WE LOVE IT. This weekend was especially delightful, with a three show Saturday that included a trivia game show debut (with timewarps! Warp your own time, and watch any time this week!) , a jazzy music + stand up show all the way from a state called New York (!), and a livestreamed unhinged drag show (don’t miss the madness! Available all week and worth the price just to see Meat Skeleton’s 🥵 Mary Todd Lincoln.) Don’t know about yer boxes, but that day checks a helluva lot of ours.
Sunday brought us an epic livestream of the “Naboo Movie” and our stage was graced by an epic cast including Tony Hale, Lorraine Newman, Haley Joel Osment, and Bobby Moynihan. Bobby’s Darth Maul is maybe the best thing to ever happen to the franchise? Everyone brought their A+++ game, and it was one of our favorite livestreams EVER. Miss the fun? It’s not too late! You can still get and watch the stream this week!
Speaking of magical realms and far away galaxies, this weekend VanJam went to the distant world of Ye Olde Irwindale and The ORIGINAL Renaissance Pleasure Faire. And we were PLEASED. We did NOT go in costume, but by god let this be the last year for that regret! Next year we’re goin and we’re doinnnn’ it up! And by “it” we mean smashing our breasts as high as possible. Yes, both of us. DARE YE JUDGE!? Alsoooo, every year we go to the Ren Faire we come back thinking we need to do a Ren Night at Dynasty. Not sure what it would be yet, but it would likely involve harpsichords and mead and a risqué maypole situation. Would this be something you’d be interested in? Or is this just exciting to us? Full-on dress up Ren Nights? If this sounds like something that would delight you, prithee tell us here!
Oh here's a thing! On Friday night we're doing a first edition of DYNASTY'S WORLD FAMOUS $5 MOVIE NIGHT! It's the historic and famous night we just invented where you come to Dynasty and we take a bunch of movie suggestions than decide as a group which one to watch and then we watch it! And since it's Dynasty we'll figure out a couple weird flourishes to make it more enchanting/interesting. And since it's famously only $5, everyone is a winner! Bring some friends for some low pressure fun! And what the hell, dress up Ren Faire style or Naboo style or in any costume you want. We celebrate you. And THAT'S THE DYNASTY DIFFERENCE!™
HUZZAH FOR THIS WEEK!
