Dearest Dynasty Darlings (Da OG Triple D!),
Let's go ahead and start this weekly transmission with a FUN FACT: You (yes, you!) have the infinite wisdom of the entire universe in every cell of your body. Isn't that rad?? Yes, even on a Monday! Maybe even especially on a Monday? Sure, ok! This is something we remind ourselves over here at DTHQ several times a day, generally after bouts of angst or self doubt regarding our [path in life/mortifying past/mortifying future/bodies/etc] or [state of the city/state/country/world]. Or even other stuff! In any case, it's helpful to be reminded of a more magical, enchanting frequency, even if it's difficult to access a lot of the time. If this doesn't resonate or you prefer to wallow, we get it! Let's take a moment to connect on a BATSHIT FACT: Between 7pm and 3am on July 4th/5th, Angelenos set off a world record 18 TRILLION consecutive fireworks! This has been VERIFIED by everyone we've spoken to about it. Do you live in another city that you think may have eclipsed this number? Email us to provoke a fictional firework statistics-off!
In other news, with VAN(essa) representing on the East Coast for a little bit (is Virginia considered the East Coast? Sound off in the comments!), JAM(ie) had to find a suitable co-host for Dynasty Tonight! this past Saturday. A tall task indeed to find a human who could meet the ferocious talent of V, but luckily there was another V in the house: Vikki Flam aka Jamie's mom! As a Dynasty Tonight! regular, Vikki was able to summons Vanessa's spirit, kicking out the bad stuff, giving away prizes, and introducing the house band The Dynasties, much to the wonderful audience's delight! We all learned the hard way that Vikki is a CAPRICORN, not an AQUARIUS as Jamie told Sammy Twelvefingers to announce at the top of the show. Never been to a Dynasty Tonight! before and curious about words like "kicking out the bad stuff" and "Sammy Twelvefingers?" Well there's another one THIS SATURDAY, and hell, you should come on down and see it for yourself!
Also this coming week? SO MUCH GOOD STUFF. Helen Hunt?! Raven Symoné?! Adam McKay?! Kumail Nanjiani?! And More? And almost all of it being live-streamed too? As always...
You are invited,
VanJam
