If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn’t be, and what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?

This month’s League embraces the wonderfulness of TEA and CUPCAKES and of course, MISSION CONTROL. All things TEA. Tea hats, tea gloves, high tea, low tea, mad hatter tea. Did we say cupcakes?

The Salon:Did you know we have, within our midst of mission control community, a TEA expert? That’s right, our very own Cuteordeath is a tea afficionado, having spent quite a bit of time working for a tea import company. She is going to come and brew up some tea, talk about tea, answer all those burning questions you may have about tea. (and serve you a hot cup!) And what goes better with tea than CUPCAKES? Our very own Jen Angel, purveyor of AngelCakes will be bringing some delicious minicupcakes (some vegan!). Feel free to bring your favorite tea or snack to share.

The Cabaret: “The History of Mission Control” a rollicking historical multimedia review of the bygone eras of our beloved building, going all the way back to the early 1900s! If you have been to a League Cabaret, you know these are always a bundle of suprises.

Private event. 21 and over only (we check ID!). We don’t serve alcohol, so BYOB

What’s that you say? You can’t get enough of Mission Control’s amazing, home-grown talent? You’re itching to rub elbows with swanky salon-goers? And you’ve been missing those smoldering looks that enigmatic diva-devil has been sending from across the dance floor? Fear not! The League is ready to satisfy all your cultured cravings this April.

 

This month’s cabaret features a special event: the official EP release by MC’s own Wesley Morgan, of Swamp Noir! Go noir with broken-down blues rolling out of a Saturday night juke joint, and stumbling drunk into Sunday morning redemption. Junkyard swing that is ragged and raw… irresistible.

 

You can’t miss The League’s own Salon, hosted by Scott Levkoff! Past installments are collected here for your edification and enjoyment on Openly:
