REHEARSAL HOME STRETCH…into NYC DOLLS WEEK! NYC Patron gatherings and MORE (Patreon)

HELLO my loves!!!!!

Before I barrel in...THANK YOU for all the incredible lyric-paint last night. JESUS CHRIST. I got a ton of private messages as well, and a handful of texts - even from family members. When you ask...well, I wrote a fuckin book about that, didn't I.

Please know I’m reading everything slowly. I am turning a lot of it into art.

I talked about the process of crowdsourcing lyrics and details on instragram at the piano this morning:

LOCATION:

Gemini & Scorpio Loft, 267 Douglass St, 3rd fl (ADA accessible), Brooklyn 11217

SOME INFO ABOUT THE TICKETS!!: We're charging a pretty basic entry fee just to cover the cost of renting the space - but alongside these general tickets, we're trying out a super exciting thing this time.... we have SPONSOR and SPONSEE tickets available.

If you're well off and want to help others in the community, you can pick up a SPONSOR ticket for a little extra money. This extra money will then go towards offering cut-price SPONSEE tickets, for those of you who are struggling a little more, and can't make the full price. There's no proof or strict guidelines around who can buy the reduced-price sponsee ticket, it's working entirely on an honor system. If you need the cheaper ticket, it's there for you.

So, there are FOUR ticket types available:

GENERAL TICKETS - $10

SUPPORTER TICKETS - $15

SPONSOR - $20

SPONSEE - $5
