Hey Y’all.

***Instant typo edit! THE D.C. STREAM IS SATURDAY, JUNE 15th – not tomorrow***

SORRY.

I’m too tired to be doing this 🙂

…………

I am going at about 123,127 miles an hour here and on my way to Ash’s third grade graduation today.

Gahhhhhhhh.

The life of a weird mom rock star….I’m in the hardcore bardo, people.

Packin’ lunches and cleanin’ laundry and dishes and finishin’ new dolls songs about traumatizing heartbreak and kicking ass and taking names ALL OVER THE FECKIN PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could get used to this.

There’s a LOT right now, bear with me for jumbling it all into one post!

…………………………

1. THE TWO UPCOMING DRESDEN DOLLS SHOWS IN WASHINGTON D.C. AT THE 9:30 CLUB TOMORROW AND SATURDAY (JUNE 14 AND 15) have JUST released a few more tickets each.

You can grab them at dresdendolls.com

AND, for all y’all…..I ALSO HAVE A TEENY BIT OF GUEST LIST TO GIVE AWAY!!! IF YOU NEED TICKET FOR FRIDAY or SATURDAY!!!!! PUT YOUR FULL NAME IN COMMENTS HERE and Michael or I will write back. When the spots are gone, they’re gone, I’ll update/edit this post when the list is FULL.

2. THE DOLLS ARE IN THE WASHINGTON POST!

https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/06/12/dresden-dolls-concert-dc/

This is the first interview the band’s done TOGETHER in ages. ITS SO SO GOOD!!!

I just sent whole article (naughty) to the $3+ patrons because it’s behind a paywall. That post is HERE.

But here’s a highlight or two if you can’t hop the paywall:

“Bring everybody, bring your friends, bring your kids, bring your old people, come dress up, celebrate life, be queer, don’t be queer, be whoever you want to be — the Dresden Dolls will take you in,” Palmer says.

Or, as Viglione sees it, “I’m getting visions of the Statue of Liberty with a black umbrella and stripy tights.”

Love and more love.

………..

A HUGE THANK YOU TO NATALIE FOR PHOTO-ING AND TO THE AMAZING PEOPLE AT THE RUBA CLUB FOR HOSTING US!!!

MEANWHILE. D.C. YOU’RE UP!!!!

We are meeting on SATURDAY, June 15th (show day #2!) at:

Whitlow’s DC, right near the 9:30 club!

901 U St NW, Washington, DC

Let’s start gathering there around 1pm!

I’ll show up closer to 2. MAKE FRIENDS!!!!!

I’ll do a long Q&A, hang out, sign stuff, do the thing!

We should be wrapped there around 4pm.

ALL AGES!!!!!!! BRING THINGS TO SHARE WITH EACH OTHER!!!!

The bar will be open. TIP YOUR BARTENDER!!!!

Info from the venue:
-We’ll have the rooftop open at noon but won’t be opening the first floor until this event wraps at 4pm. That said, we only have one entrance so there will be some guests walking through the one end of the first floor to get to the rooftop steps. We can stanchion it off to make sure only those with tickets/invited guests have access to the rest of the first floor space.

– all ages is good for the first floor, but only those 21 and up would be allowed to head to the rooftop or 2nd floor after the event. The first floor turns to 21+ at 9pm.

– Our brunch menu would be available until 3pm and the regular menu is available from 3pm-10pm

AND MORE PHILLY PHOTOS!!!!!…..
