Upcoming shows
We’re baaaack beebees!
Da Salon Dears and Darlings,
It’s been a minute since our last live event, hasn't it? A lot has happened since then, eh? Personally, collectively, politically. But surely we must persist and resist, through community activation and inspiration and collective WTFs.
So guess what time it is?! Nailed it, it’s time for another salon. LIVE! See below for deets.
Literarily yours, Alia & Shan
Get a little ‘ping-ping’ for our next show by signing up for our newsletter:
NEXT UP: Da Salon #18 - Spring 2025 (live)
Details:
Sunday March 23rd, 3-5pm
Life on Art Gallery
133 Copeland St, Suite C1A
Petaluma, CA 94952
Entry is free, but a suggested donation of $10-30 is very welcome and will be divvied between the readers and Life on Art, a brilliant nonprofit that does exceptional, transformative work in our community and beyond. Please see what they're about HERE.
There's plenty of space at Life on Art, but please be a doll and RSVP to this email so we can plan roughly how many chairs to unfold. (Spontaneous YESSES can also be accommodated.)
We entreat you to come out and treat yourself to a loverly afternoon, sitting underneath the spectacular community art exhibition *Unbound and getting filled up by good words strung together in clever ways by interesting people. We're talking about our guest readers, obviously. We'd never be so bold as to say such things about ourselves, for we are nothing if not humble braggarts.
Hey, speaking of guest readers, may we humbly announce that we hit the jackpot!
Drumroll pleeeease for our celebrated readers:
Eirinie Carson, author of The Dead Are Gods (and local columnist for The Argus Courier!)
Samantha Rose, NYT bestselling ghostwriter and author of Giving up the Ghost (new memoir out now!)
Fred Curchack theatrical maverick doing a preview from his “Resurrection of Freddy Chickan” tour (coming to Mercury Theater in May!)
And as always, Alia Beeton & Shannon DeJong.
Your hostesses with the mostesses.
We MC the salon in our prettiest dresses,
and prance about bouncing our tresses.
But really inside we're steaming hot messes,
wielding pens and stabbing at guesses.
Slowly figuring out that art, like life, doesn't have to rhyme.... or even reason?
Dadaist mic drop.
Here's hoping we see you March 23rd!
xoxo Alia & Shan

After March, Shannon heads back to France so expect the next Da Salon to likely be a podcast episode… but who knows!
If you’re uncomfortable uncertainly, leave this page immediately and instead sign up for our newsletter which can provide clarity when we have it.
(And in the meantime, might we suggest getting for comfortable with uncertainty because: current state of affairs).

You and us, both! We’re not sure. We’ll let you know when we have plans. But we’re winging it, just like you. Hey - there’s uncertainty in the world. See previous.
