Lucent Dossier at the Edison - Next show 5/14

[frodo potter]

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

LAist article- "Last Night at the Edison"
LAist did an online write up on their experience with Lucent Dossier performing at the Edison (which happens bi-weekly, or every other Wednesday... our next one is on May 14th)... here's what they wrote (to go directly to their website for the article you can go to- http://laist.com/2008/05/01/photo_essay_las.php )

Photo Essay: Last Night at the Edison's Incandescence Wednesday


Last night we hit downtown L.A. for the Edison's weekly event, Incandescence, where vaudeville circus/dance troupe Lucent Dossier was performing from the stage, from the rafters, from the floor amid the audience. We sampled the absinthe cocktails which were served to us in vintage-looking glass bottles that we were allowed to take home. And even some of the liquor shots were handed to us in corked glass bottles that resembled those miracle elixirs con men used to shill back in the day. "Promise this will make us tipsy? Hey! It works!"

We marveled at the spectacle of the trapeze artist performing high above our heads, twining and untwining herself in reams of cloth without touching down on the floor. On stage was a dance performance of vaudevillian proportions which got our toes tapping. So much fun!
There was even this lady named Candy who walked around wearing organic strawberry cotton candy that she asked guests to taste. We reluctantly pulled a piece of her cotton candy wig and put it in our mouths. Hmm, er, umm...mmm, pretty good! Apparently she was going to walk around Edison until all her cotton candy was gone. Wish we got a pic of her at the end of the night.
The Edison crowd wasn't as Burning Man as we thought it was going to be. Rather it was a mixture of well-dressed sophisticates and circus people. Making people-watching another fun activity for the evening, which we were able to do from the comfort of our corner booth.
If you're worried that you missed the circus, don't fret. Lucent Dossier will continue to perform at the Edison every other Wednesday at 8pm.
Tickets: $10 before 8pm, $20 after 8pm, $15 with online pre-order at Edison's Web site.

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

[innerSpaceman]

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

[frodo potter]

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

[Disneyphile]

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.

[Not Afraid]

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!
