Open this for DRUGS!!!!!!!!!
Darlings,
Since our last Dynasty transmission we've entered a whole new month. To most, it is the month of April. A month known for showers. 🌧️ And fools. 🃏And searching for colorful eggs and/or unleavened bread. 🪺🫓 And Earth: The planet we live on. 🌍 Right in this very moment, a few people wearing space suits are in a space ship called “Orion” looking at our moon (we have a moon!) and are looking down on us here, apparently the furthest from Earth any human has ever been, taking in the grandeur of a solar system 🌞that extends further than we could ever imagine. With galaxies 🌌 and asteroids ☄️ and other planets 🪐, some of which are gigantic and have several moons. Jupiter has no solid surface! It's just gas and liquid! Perspective.
Anyhooooooo, over here we're calling this month aPill💊. It's got kind of a pharmaceutical theme to it. Obviously we’re not trying to be anything like big pharma. More like enchanted, small batchpharma; An artisinal pharma that creates drugs in the form of experiences that get us out of our heads and back into real life where we can connect with magical people and ideas and gain... Perspective.
So yeah, the scienticians in the labs over at DynaBiologicz™ (the working title for our new pharma division) recommend that you take aPill💊 at Dynasty between the hours of 7-12pm at the theater (if you're going to take it rectally please do that before you arrive- Sludgy), then grab some DynaPop! 🍿and a beverage🍹 and expose yourself to jokes, stories, and whatever else happens on our stage and you'll be cured of all that ails you forever. Now THAT’S The Dynasty Difference™!
At this point it might be funny to list all the side effects of aPill💊 like the TV commercials for drugs like Skyrizi. Skyrizi?! What a crazy assortment of letters to put in a row! But it does have the word sky in it. So we’ll ditch the side effect thing and neatly segue back into space and its vast majesty and how small we are in the scheme of everything. Perspective.
We have so many good shows this month! We hope you will come to all of them! Enjoy aPill💊.
Telescopes,
VanJam
