DENVER : DRESDEN DOLLS CITY #1: WE’RE HERE. info for patrons/meeting up. (Patreon)

Hola Comrades.

Greetings from Denver, Colorado.

What’s with the dismal effin weather, Denver? Don’t worry. The Dresden Dolls are officially in town and we are gonna fix everything. Your hearts will be aflame and your souls smelted like iron in a vat of punk cabaret by the end of the night.

I arrived here last night after my plane was diverted to goddamn Colorado Springs due to storms and I’m tired and slightly grumpy but mostly excited as FUCK to play with my band tonight - really kn tour - for the first time in YEARS. I am punchdrunk on the music in my head. Brian and I are ready to Sleigh.

In hopeful news: we MAY be able to thing/stream one of the New Orleans shows. We are researching a livestream team, hold the phone.

….

This is mostly a housekeeping post for the people coming to Denver - and Santa Fe (and Orlando and NoLa, read along)…so if you’re not coming, spare yourself the pain and skim or skip.

First of all: IF YOU ARE A PATRON AND COMING TO ANY of the DOLLS SHOWS, how will you identify each other, hmm?

Back in the old days of 2019 I came up with a clever little patron-identifying tactic: playing cards. Everyone has one or can find one. Pin one to your bag or garment, or get creative, or even just take a pen/eyeliner and stick a heart or club or slade or diamond on your cheek.

Cheap and accessible!!! If any patrons wanna make my day, bring an extra set of cards and safety pins and share. LOVING YOU.

if you see a another patron, you have my express permission to be a dork and start talking to them. It’s a magic wand. You have something in common. Chat! Go. Okay. Friends.

NEXT UP:

PATRON MEET-UPS in DENVER / SANTA FE!

We are talking to Meow Wolf about the potential of using their space for a patron meet-up, but it’s not guaranteed. If you locals know a great central gathering space, I would love you to self-organize and I may be able to swing by, esp if it’s Saturday or Sunday late morning. I’m committed to family time those days but it may just work out magically.

DENVER! The magic happened and organizing was organized and I just got a text from Dahlia that the shadowbox went into action and picked an time and place. I can 90% be there tomorrow, Sunday less likely but who knows? - forgive my waning and waxing energy levels - and here’s the info:

I’m disappearing into show mode - see many of you soon.

I likely won’t be signing/coming out after the show tonight, but may tomorrow or Sunday if I have the energy. Stay tuned. Mama is still recovering from Covid, 2020-2023, divorce, trauma and all that. Mama is tired and is gonna leave it all on stage tonight.
