The whole experience (Electric Fetus in-store and then full show in St. Paul) was amazing, enlightening, and humbling to be a part of. I was lucky enough to share it with my girlfriend, who has quickly become a Palmer-devotee, and my dog (Evelyn). You have been such a great conduit for openness on many topics and an inspiration for folks to do the same in regards to important experiences in their life. In regards to the show, I had three take-always. One: Your musical performance was once again amazing. I’ve seen you for Theatre Is Evil at First Avenue, and The Woman’s Club a couple years back. This brutally honest Shiw was a perfect balance of raw performance, rawer emotions via stories, and perfectly timed humor to lighten things *just enough*. Two: As a man, I have been having my eyes opened by women in my life, but none around me who have tackled the subject of abortion (maybe that’s my family’s Catholic teachings getting in the way). I now feel better informed about how to help an individual who is going through this incredibly hard and personal decision, but I do have one question: How can I help make sure that this topic can be talked about openly and without charged and judgmental connotations? I will never be able to articulate abortion feels via first-hand experience, but I do want to help shape a safer space for people to share this “hush-hush” topic. Is there a way that I can keep the dialog going? I don’t want to make anyone feel like I am mansplaining, imposing judgment, or hijacking a topic that I cannot fully experience and articulate. Three (and this is just a matter of language and viewpoint): I *really* wish we didn’t have to call it RADICAL empathy. I pick no bones with you for your use of this term, my issue is with society. I don’t see why it should be radical to say that we cannot begin to imagine someone else’s experiences and the reasons why they feel that they were thrust into the decisions they made (in many cases it’s easy for us to empathize with “heroes” or good choices, but somehow we believe in monsters and evil to separate humanity from the worst decisions humans have made). However, this is somehow radical to us; it is radical to accept reality and offer compassion... and that’s sad. Instead of radical empathy, I think it should just be EMPATHY, all other forms of “empathy” that don’t accept certain scenarios or groups of people should be called “selective empathy”. And really, selective empathy just seems to be another form of being judgmental. Whew! Sorry for the long-winded response, but it does feel fantastic to have this outlet for honesty. Even if I cannot be this open with everyone (yet), at least we have our tribe. A heartfelt THANK YOU.

I commented earlier but wanted to add: if at any point in time you have a moment I would love to write down the quote from Coyote about the mother bear. I wish I’d have quick typed it into my phone but was so wrapped up in the show that it wasn’t until talking to my mother in law that I realized I couldn’t remember what exactly it was.

That was the best concert I've ever been to, and I've been to some great shows. It encompassed everything I wanted to know, the perfect experience - I love storytelling, and I am always curious about the circumstances that art comes from, the human experience that led to this moment. I didn't know what I was in for before I went in, and I was so happy to have experienced that four hours. When I bought my tickets in December, I had just been diagnosed with breast cancer. I went through surgery, a month of radiation, and on Wednesday had the last thing done, surgery to have my ovaries removed. Cancer is in my past now, and your show was such a punk rock way to celebrate! Thank you for being you, and everything you do that puts yourself out there. -Mel

Amanda, I’m too sad! The show made me proud to be a female artist. Thank you. I hope you got my book of sad poetry. 💚🐭😘

Barging in on St. Paul from Massachusetts. Hi, Amanda. I've finally had solo time to listen to the album and just wanted to say....hi. thank you. It's Patriot's Day and the marathoners are running through alternating rain and sun. Notre Dame is burning and I am crying. My little sister is pregnant, and scared. Her fiance can't come to the U.S. because of immigration. We haven't told our mom yet. But I went with her on Friday and saw a heartbeat on the ultrasound and I held her hand. This album was beautiful, and I read the art book while I listened, and I'm glad I didn't have time until today. Hi. Thank you.

I finally ask you what is the matter

i would have told you if you’d only asked me, if you’d only asked me

Another post days later, because it takes time to process things. Thank you thank you thank you for doing this album. For doing this show. For ripping your heart out night after night to bring the darkness out into the light. I saw you in St Paul with my sister and your show helps heal thing we didn't know were broken. If you're willing to record the show and put it out there as a thing, when the tour is over, even just a patreon exclusive, I think it would be great for those who cant get to a show. But as it's very personal, and rather sensitive, I understand if it doesnt happen. Again, thank you. <3 <3 <3

I saw the guestbook the day following the show, but was still processing what I experienced. I even told a friend afterward that going out for a drink was off the table, because I was so emotionally tired after the show, having felt so many things and let a not insignificant amount of tears stream down my face (I needed that hankie before I picked it up at intermission!). You took us on a journey that night. I love your storytelling and music in equal amounts, and embraced the connection that came from you sharing yourself with us. I also about died when you came to sit in front of us on the lip of the stage (I was one of the three who were "in the light"). I was a big ball of anxiety ("OMG ARE PEOPLE LOOKING AT ME?!") and delight at being so close as to share what felt like intimate space with you. Thank you for sharing your gift with us, and for being an inspiration for me and so many others.

"Too SAD Amanda!!" hehehe, it was exactly as it should be. Thank you for a wonderful evening of sharing.
