Lucent Dossier at the Edison - Next show 5/14
 

Not sure if I can make this one, but I certainly must make one of the future appearances - this is probably the closest I'll come to Wiemar Cabaret in a long time:

Lucent Dossier

I read about this a couple of weeks ago, meant to send you the info, and promptly forgot the whole thing. I have plans to see Mortified this evening for a friend's birthday, so I too will miss out on this Wiemer experience. Not that I had anything to wear to it, anyway...

Man... just when I decide I'm going to go to my first Dodgers game...

So while we miss the premier, we ought to see about catching a future performance

And a good game it was (it was the first one I was able to watch so far this season).

It was indeed a great solo night out (with 53,000+ others, of course).


A view from my seat (which I bought 20 minutes before game time).

An artistic self-portrait.

But to the original topic: I'm in when they start performing regularly.

Just a quote from their recent blog:

Sigh - I must go

Is this happening again?

Wednesday Nights for awhile it seems

Pick one. I'll go.


Ugh, school nite.

But as long as I remember Figueroa's a one-way street north of Olympic, I should be good.

No Singapore Sling's though. OMG.


Unless you wanna kiss me.

I am so up for this DP and I have been really wanting to go to the Edison anyway so added cabaret=added fun.

Just have to get off work early

They were amazing at Coachella. Everyone should check this out.

As much as I try not to go out on a school night, this looks like something I want to check out. The pix and stories from Coachella certainly make them sound interesting

Hmmm...

Here's their latest blog post - quoting the LAist.

Next show May 14

We Must Go!

Ah yes I got an email about this a couple of weeks ago. Must see!

Ok, the 14th!!! Me says yes!

I have been ordered not to go without DP so I will have to miss this one but probably in June DP any I will go

Actually, we'll probably go sometime in July, so maybe some of you will want an encore trip by then. :)

I need time to finish my steampunk corset before we go. ;)

They currently only have 2 shows scheduled at the Edison - May 14th and May 28th. They will be traveling to Lisbon and Dublin after that. Who knows if and when they will be back, but it's not on their calendar at the moment.

Either of the May dates can work for me with a little schedule massaging if I know in advance.

She is going on a really cool two-week cruise through the Panama Canal without you and you are going to worry about missing a show?

Sack up man!

How about May 28th then? :)

Works for me.

Heck no: we are going on the 14th just to spite the Canal Cruisers.

Bastard! :p

Yep!



(A jealous bastard.)

I'm going to see Gypsy Wildcat on the 28th, so I'm gonna vote for Lucent Dossier on the 14th.

What's wrong with both dates?

I like your thinking!! :snap:

I don't want the people going on the cruise to be able to also get to go to LD. It is one or the other and they must decide.

Note-to-self: Send daily text message to KB from ship, preferably with photo, preferably during working hours. :evil:

As long as you are nekked in the picture, I won't object :evil:

Ugh, last night/this morning has proven that weeknight trips into L.A. and back for entertainment are not something we need to be doing often, if at all.
Definitely will not be doing that again this month. Sorry we'll miss it, but at least we saw them 4 times in the desert.

May 28th.

It will make for a great graduation gift.

Yes.

I'm not kissing anyone.

I'm kissing Kenny Chesney that night.

/swoon.

For the sake of the furniture, that's probably a good thing, but I guess Chris will have to look elsewhere then.

Wouldn't be the first time.

Another blog post to tempt you all:

Another bump to see if anyone is interested in going on Wednesday

I am interested in Wednesday... the 28th.

This coming Wednesday has gotten tough (but not undoable) for me ... and, seeing that I'd like something especially fun for blueerica's visit ... I also vote for postponing to the 28th.

Can't we do both the 14th AND 28th?

I can't go to either, but I vote for the 28th so Erica can go!

I can't do both. Out carousing and drinking till 1 in the morning on a Wednesday is something my employers don't want me to do at all, so it's something I'd like to limit to once a month.

And if you push it to the 28th, next month gets here more quickly!

;)

And we all know how much you let the whims of your employer dictate your personal life...

Alright - the 28th it is.

I will be there.

They told me they won't hire homosexuals, so I have gone without a boyfriend for all these many months. I bow to their every whim. :p

28th. Woo!

EEEeee!

How fun!

The 14th is the day before payday :(

Sure looks like fun, though...

Say hi to Roo

They are going on the 28th, not the 14th.

So, it's 13 days AFTER payday!

Or the day I'll be seeing Kenny Chesney.

(Erica already knows, and is fine with it not that she'd get a say. No guilt trips will work :p)

That's better for me (I think). I'm too exhausted to even think about going out tomorrow night.

wait.... isn't today monday?

Oh, is it?

When you work 7 days a week, the meaning of the name of the day means nothing.

Ok, I know we already decided on the 28th - but should someone be inclined - here's another review:

I just got Tickets for DP and I and set up to have Thursday off so its not a school night for me :D

I can't wait we have been talking about going for months so yea :cool:

Wow. My honey totally killed a thread. ;) :p

I have to recharge. As of now, the thought of staying out that late the day after tomorrow is unimaginable for me.


I hope to have that thought pattern changed. But I'm wiped.

I am going almost regardless. My only exception in not going would be everyone drops out and decent plans arise to replace.






Especially since I don't forsee them heading into the SLC area any time in the near future...

I am hoping to go, but work may interfere.

Ditto

I still want to go

I still wanna go see Gypsy Wildcat (free screening at Universal).

I still want to have sex with Angelina Jolie.

I'm still going to see Kenny Chesney.

Is he having sex with Angelina Jolie?

Many of you know our good friend J (wedding planner, party helper, etc.). She's coming as well. :)

She put a fresh set of batteries in BOB?

No silly, the good ones plug in

Wait, who's going to what now?

In good news... still want to go.

In bad news... my gradumation ceremonies go on for at least two freaking hours and starts at 5PM. Plus family wanting to take pictures, plus, plus plus. I'm supremely disappointed that I might not make it there in time or could put others I want to ride up with into 'late jeopardy'... I know people have work-week lives going on. That and this is probably the first time in at least 25 years that both sides of my family have been together in such numbers. I can't just say... OK, ceremony's over... screw your pictures... gotta jet!

:(

I'm willing to be late and stay up late for a second half of their show, etc... but I don't know if anyone else is. Maybe something else fun on the horizon if this is too complex? Or maybe I'm just making this complex because I'm having visiting-my-family guilt... So, let me know your feelings on this... anyone? ... anyone?

Depending on weekend plans, I may try to catch this show at the art opening this weekend. My first night back in the apartment (after nearly 5 days away) made me realize two things:

1. The place needs a serious **** and spanning before weekend next and it's already Wednesday, and, more importantly,

2. The critters are starving for some attention.

It makes me feel like a spinster to say this, but staying at home with the cats wins this time.

Have fun, all who are able to attend!

We are definitely going. We'll probably get there reasonable early so we have a chance of snagging a couch or some other butt-placement device. By reasonable early, I mean 7:30ish (being optimistic). I know this performance will be MUCH different than the one at the art opening (and very different from the Coachella show I saw), so I'm totally up for doing it all. I may regret it later and I keep my options for bitching open.

I have thrown in the towel and made a decision I will regret tomorrow morning: Susan and I are going. If anyone from the OC wants to car pool, let me know.

Can you drop us off and pick us up at Staples Center? :D

Sounds good - what time are you planning on leaving OC though?

I picked up tickets this morning, so we'll be there

Not gonna make it. Have fun everyone.





Don't kiss anyone I wouldn't kiss. :iSm:

For those who didn't go, you missed an amazing night! Hopefully pix soon (I woke up late and forgot to grab the camera to download).

Coming to a sig line near you (with an accompanying photo):

Absinthe makes the eyes go wander

It was truly a spectacular evening! I'm happy I went, despite the rest of the day's insanity.

Aw, I'm glad a good time was had.


I'm so envious, and so sorry I couldn't go. I am still catching up on sleep lost from the holiday weekend, and I had an early morning DMV appointment.


Hopefully, there will be another opportunity to see Lucent ... on a weekend!

The "Every other Wednesday thing will be continuing for a while at The Edison. Plus there is the Glass Garage Gallery gig this Saturday (which I believe C & L and possibly others are going to).

Yeah, well, Wednesdays are out ... and there's another LoT thing this Saturday evening that prevents me from attending the Gallery gig.

I'm not complaining that my social life is so active, or that I have a job I can't sleep through. But I hope there's a reasonable chance to see Lucent Dossier in the future. I really wanted to go. But then again, I really want to be 20 years younger!

I look forward to seeing them eventually on a Wednesday. Hurrah. So, so glad you had a good time, Erica.

Let me know if you ever want to go on a Wednesday when I didn't sleep merely 3 hours on the previous Sunday.

Lucent Dossier at the Edison was a blast from the moment we walked through the door where we were greeted by the Green Fairy herself



And proffered to sample her wares - viles of Absinthe shots and other concoctions



Having secured an appropriate dose



We settled in in the glorious decore of the Edison





All that was missing was Captain Nemo



Soon we were offed dessert - Organic Cotton Candy, in the best candy dispenser ever devised



Before long the real entertainment began - and it was everywhere



There is a stage of course, but not with the best sight lines, so it was great that Lucent Dossier took their act all over the venue, showing up here and there performing snipits on stage

In the air







In the Boiler Room





And on the Bars





Even the Green Fairy was Dancing



Along with the Red Ninja



Of course it may have all been a vision due to the cocktails consumed



But I'd gladly do it again to seeif it were real

(more photos here)

So, I'm envisioning post-search Google logo, only now it says

Boooooooooooooooooooooooobage

Fantastic night! I can't wait to see more on Saturday.

Cool pics.

At least a couple of those people are Mutants, too :)

O RLY, CM?

Ok, I admit that I had a bit of fun knocking people over with my cleavage. :blush:

Did they do similar stuff to their Coachella show?

Seeing both LD and the Edison in your pics is enough to make me jealous :)

Did you cleave anybody in two?

I was able to upload our photos. Not very many as we failed to grab a fresh battery before departure.

If anyone wants the full size version of any of these photos, let me know.

There was at least one routine from the Coachella show that was imported to the Edison (the one done to the Tin Pan Alley sampled tune), what was fun about this was how they performed around the venue and interacted with the audience.
