hello darlings....greetings from backstage at dolls show #2. (regard my lovely shot from last night. someone threw the scarf on stage, bless them).

just a reminder that i will be doing a webchat for y'all tomorrow morning. we'll start at 9:30am EST (note that tonight daylight savings time ends, set your clocks accordingly!!!). should last about 60, 90 minutes if we're on fire.

i'll be trying something different for this webchat....i'll be using a platform called crowdcast that will embed right here in patreon...YAY! so....i'll post tomorrow when we kick things off (RIGHT AROUND 9:30am, so be checking!!).

you'll see the webcast embedded in the post, and you can click through and you'll be able to log-in with your patreon account to chat and tune in. should make sense when you get there. hayley will be with me and manning the comments HERE and on twitter so if you have any problems flag us down (or email her direct at hayley@amandapalmer.net or to get at her super quick tweet @HayleyFiasco). 

MAGIC TECHNOLOGY, i hope it works. (webcasts are so often a bitch).

leave some questions/topics to discuss in the comments, i'll read them before i get on and we'll start from there.

and me, for you: how are you feeling about the patreon in general? the demo songs coming out almost once a month? the idea of keeping stuff private? the platform technology in general? talka to me, i'm readin'.

I am still loving what you are doing with your patreon. I trust you with my money, and I am happy for you to do whatever the fuck you want with it. Sometimes I love what you put out, other times I don't, but I love the way it's working right now and I love that you are able to create and can also use the money to collaborate with other artists as well! In regards to stuff to chat about during the webchat... Well you could talk patreon, but I feel that may be a little like preaching to the choir considering everyone watching need to already be patrons... I guess you could talk about what it's been like enlisting the help of other artists and being able to pay them for their work. Also you did mention a while ago that some of the songs you've been working on over the last few years MAY end up a new Dolls album... Is that still a possibility. Oh and you said London is your only other fall show but what about your winter/our summer, can we expect to see you down under at all? No pressure, just asking! If you want to talk about life/world shit in general, maybe tell me why the world seems to be going to absolute shit right now. I felt like for a while shit was getting better. People were becoming more tolerant, they were educating themselves about stuff they didn't understand rather than just dismissing it because it didn't fit their original idea. Attitudes towards the environment were changing, attitudes towards women, the LGBTQ community, other races, other religious beliefs etc were changing. I thought there was more tolerance in the world. Now everything is fucked and getting fuckeder (not a word I know...) I actually kicked my Dad out of my place this afternoon because of how dismissive he is of the whole Kevin Spacey shit. He can't see why it's a big deal and I can't see how anyone can think it's not!?!?! It makes me think he is a man that shouldn't be trusted and I hate that a thought like that could cross my mind, but here we are. (It's not the Kevin Spacey shit per say, it's because by dismissing that he is dismissing the significance of the abuse I've experienced.) That whole #metoo campaign was such a double edged sword as well. So tell me, are humans actually becoming shittier or am I just becoming over sensitive?

Looking forward to the Web cast later. I'm sorry it will be early for you, but 2:30pm here in London is perfect! The world is a shitty, shirty place right now. I'm just about keeping it all together, so haven't been able to listen to the most recent songs from you because I think they would break me. Can we take some time to talk about any good things which are happening? And how people are keeping themselves going atm?

I'd say that the public/private question to me isn't really concerning. Having some exclusive stuff gives an extra incentive for people to become members. I can't say that there's really anything controversial here. I'm very satisfied with how it's going - that there are waves of activity. It's really how I hoped it would work - that you would have the freedom to create at your pace as the artistic opportunity arose. I haven't had any issues - technical, philosophical, or otherwise. I'm lucky enough to have money to give and I feel just as good about the contributions here as do about my newspaper subscriptions & the money I give to organizations I support. I am really appreciate the insight and background on your projects - not because it means I get transparency on what my money's doing (read: whatever, take my money and make the things!) - but because it makes me more deeply appreciative of the art itself. I also have to say I appreciate the sustaining nature of how Patreon works - that it's not just support this one project so I can do it and that you can keep coming back without launching a whole new campaign. Ani Difranco recently crowdfunded an album using the Pledge Music platform but that felt very different and overall I came out of it feeling like it really wasn't any different from having simply purchased an album and merch on a typical album release, except that I prepaid. Certainly the offerings were more diverse since they collected pre-payment and could therefore only order what they knew they had demand for. But I couldn't help but think of all the effort that went into promoting that campaign - reaching out to fans, getting them to go to the page, etc. and how all of that would have to reproduced all over again she decided to go in that direction again. I'm still happy I supported the project, but it made me more appreciative of patreon trying to create a space where people can plug in, stick around, and give you something to come to when you're ready to make more.

Hi! I'm also new in these parts. I joined just before "The Ride," and at this point, that song collided perfectly with my life in a way I'll never forget. Just contributing a fear set off an explosion for me that was badly needed. And then the song cleared a path that has been blocked for a long time. So, I thank you and look forward to where else we all take each other. I have been wondering, again with life/art collisions, if you could ever continue creating in one long-term residence?

It did take me a while to transition from the blog but now that I have, Patreon itself is fine, and your thingmaking and the variety and pace of it is just about perfect. The thing that interests me most is insight into your goals as an artist and what we, your patron community, can do to help you achieve them. How can we best share and amplify your work? (Beyond social media, since my entire network are either people who are already fans of yours, or people who tune out when I mention you because they think I am just blah blah blah Amanda all the time.) How can we support you, beyond the financial? How can we inspire you, clear whatever obstacles block you creatively, and and help you get wherever you want to be? And ... do you know where that is? Are there Goals, Plans, Dreams? Paraphrasing Neil, is there a mountain you want to be always heading closer to? If there is, I want to help you get there.

I love everything about patron. I love being able to truly show support for the arts and the people who inspire me

Amy Ropple

Oh yeah and Cookie and I are setting up a little art sharing project between an art class of my 8th graders in Reading and kids in the program she is working within, inspired by your "In Harm's Way" video and song. I played the song for my class and it inspired conversation & creative plans. They can't send $$, but they can send a good will gesture of art... :) TBC.

On lunch break now! Please make the magic happen!

The chat was awesome! Thanks for your time.

I couldn't make the chat this time, but wanted to drop by and say that I'm loving everything you're doing with the patreon! I saw that this crowdcast chat was recorded and I'd love it if all of them were made available to the $10+ patrons for a week or so? Just so that we can listen to it later if we weren't able to attend live! Thank you so much for doing it with this one, because that's my wishlist item! Absolutely loved the last songs you've put out! <3
