The Greatest Night of the Jazz Age

Last Sunday, @ginges-stuff​ and I attended the matinee of the show. It was a fantastic experience.

The venue is built as a 1930s New York nightclub and offers an authentic atmosphere. There are three stages (one with the band next to the entrance, one in the middle and one behind the bar at the back of the room), several round tables on the floor and additional seating at a little higher pedestal on two sides. We sat at a table with high chairs at the side and had a great view from there.

The show started at 1 pm with Miss Belle Livingstone (Suanne Braun) welcoming everyone and promising the greatest night of jazz, ever. She wore a red dress that flattered her figure and gave the impression of a woman who knows the ins and outs of running a speakeasy. Always a saucy quip on her lips, she worked the room and made sure everyone was having a good time.

Belle and Valaida (the resident singer) took turns exciting the audience with their amazing voices. They were accompanied by four dancers (the spirits) and a fabulous band. Through music, song, and dancing, we learned the story of Belle’s life, her past, her hopes and dreams.

Besides the main attraction, there was another show that was hidden from the obvious eye: the choreography of the waiters and waitresses. Well attuned, they ensured everyone got their drinks and their food in the allotted time windows. However, serving drinks didn't always work out the way it should have. Drinks could be ordered with your phone scanning a barcode that included your table number. Somehow the app changed the table number or used a default because several times, we were asked if we had ordered the cocktail/champagne/wine. If we had been any lesser human beings, we would have said “yes” and gotten free drinks which someone else had paid for.

The three-course-menu was excellent and delicious.

At one point when @ginges-stuff​ and I were talking about the upcoming Fedcon event and fangirling over Amanda (as usual), Miss Belle came up to us and asked us if we had a good time. We were so surprised by her sudden presence that we could only affirm with a simple, “Yes, we have a great time.” Then, she winked at us and was gone again. And we missed the opportunity to say something funny. The entire day, one quick-witted sentence was stuck in my head, “Miss Belle, you are looking stunning, as stunning as an Egyptian goddess.” I missed my chance, which in retrospect is probably for the best.

At the end of the show, tension built up once again when the police raided the place and caught Miss Belle with a bottle of alcohol. But she didn't stay in prison long, because there was a party to celebrate.

The three hours flew by, and we left the place with a feeling of “Yes, indeed, we had the Greatest Night of the Jazz Age.”

If you have a chance to catch a show with Suanne, do it. The experience is well worth your time and your money.

Auch wenn ich den Ausdruck damals natürlich noch nicht kannte, ist "Die drei ???" das erste Mal, dass mir eine Art Antiintellektualismus begegnet ist.

In fast jeder der frühen Hörspielfolgen haben Peter und Bob sich darüber lustig gemacht, dass Justus "so gehoben" sprach oder "seltsam/kompliziert" redete. Auch wenn das, was er sagte, zum Thema passte oder ein Detail beschrieb, das bisher noch nicht beachtet wurde.

Ich dagegen (ich war ungefähr 9-12 Jahre alt) hab beim Anhören seine ungewöhnlichen Formulierungen immer aufgesogen wie ein linguistischer Schwamm und mich gefreut, wenn ich dank Justus Jonas wusste, was z.B. der Ausdruck "lukullische Genüsse" bedeutet.

Regentag

„Leo“, seufzt Adam. Er hat alles versucht, aber Leo lässt sich nicht von der Stufe vor dem Präsidium bewegen. „Komm rein, es fängt an zu regnen.“

Doch Leo reagiert nicht, zieht bloß die Kapuze seiner Sweatjacke über den Kopf und sinkt noch mehr in sich zusammen. Pia hatte sie ihm rausgebracht, seine blutbesprenkelte Bomberjacke wortlos mitgenommen, sie beide nur mitleidig angesehen.

Der Regen prasselt jetzt laut auf den Asphalt, verdunkelt in kürzester Zeit den grauen Stoff, der Leo unter sich verschluckt.

„Bin gleich zurück“, sagt Adam, hastet mit großen Schritten in die Eingangshalle, findet den Schirmständer und greift sich den erstbesten Schirm.

Wortlos spannt er ihn über Leo auf. Dessen Kopf ruckt bei dem Geräusch nach oben und für eine Sekunde treffen seine glasigen Augen Adams. Er zuckt mit den Schultern und wendet sich wieder der Pfütze zu, die sich um seine Schuhe gebildet hat.

„Ich war zu spät“, sagt er leise. Dann ist da nur noch das gleichmäßige Prasseln des Regens.

i have like (?) a sideblog for baldurs gate (and now red dead writing. fucking lmao.) that i was originally going to jump ship with in case i decided to not come back. i wasn't going to share the url just for idk identity purposes but i must keep it a buck w you all and tell you i have no current interest in writing for anime outside of my like commissions. like i dont have any desire to post my own ideas and i feel kind of burnt out on x reader stuff all together in my own stuff for anime. i enjoy writing comms bc its another persons idea but its not hitting and it has been like that for some months now.

plus all of the back 2 back discourse has put a sour taste in my mouth. and i want to try doing other things.

which isn't REALLY a big deal in any case but i do feel a little bad (read: very bad) because i still. love anime LMAO. i want to read stuff and participate in fandom just more quietly or something. ITS NOT A BIG DEAL IM AWARE BUT I FEEL LIKE IM ABANDONING MY POOKIES AND I AM NOT. it will come back because it always has for like 15+ years of my life

sorry for the INCESSANT yapping heavens above. but im wondering if anyone would want me to share the url for said blog or if i should drop another hiatus pin and call it a day perhaps.

i will not be giving out my main blogs url for that but if you are a mutual that follows me there i will send u like a DM etc
