This was my first time getting to see you live! You are an amazing artist but more importantly you are an amazing person. Thank you for sharing your amazing radical empathy with us tonight. The world definitly needs more of that! Much love to you, Neil, and beautiful Ash! Good luck with the rest of your tour! I know I had a comment before but I needed to add this ;)

Last night was my first time attending one of your shows. I brought my husband with me, and he'd never really listened to your music, but we were both blown away. I've long struggled with anxiety and depression. For almost my whole life, I've been afraid of something, whether it be what has already happened, or what's to come in the future. As an artist I've tried to make sense of these feelings endlessly. The reminder that I need to reach into the dark with both hands, and grab onto whatever that fear is and bring it out into the light, was something I didn't know I needed to hear, but I realize now how much I needed it. I feel a lot less alone thanks to you, and I'll be forever grateful for it. Love you.

The show last night was amazing!!!!! Thank you so much! I hope you come back to visit soon, please. My husband and I even joked about seeing you again in Kansas City tonight, ha.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for my ticket to tonight’s show. I wanted so badly to come and see you, but had resigned myself to it not being in the cards. The universe had better plans, though.

Sorry this has taken a couple days but I have to thank you for something very specific. When you talked about if you can you must (so true!) You took the time to talk about "being safe" enough to do it. Thats more important then most people realize. As someone who was not safe for a long time... Thank you. Its up to those of us that can to be the voice of those who cannot. I wasn't lucky enough to "be untied" but I eventually untied myself and ran like hell. Some days I still feel like I'm running but your art is one of my inspirations. Thank you for taking me into the dark safely and making a beautiful light!

Dear Amanda, This was an absolutely incredible, emotional experience I’m going to hold with me for years. I’ve been listening to your music and story for years and finally having the chance to see you live has been so worthwhile and unforgettable. I know for a fact that the paintings I make would not be the same without you. Your music has enveloped my studio practice and I hope someday I can inspire and make a difference like you’re doing... just wow. You’re so brave. Just an incredible performance. I can’t wait to see you perform again and continue making music and art that the WORLD NEEDS. The world needs more strong and empowering women like you to NORMALIZE the female experience... to bring to light conversations that need to happen and to fight for our basic human rights (ability to have safe abortions). I’m happy to be fortunate enough and have the opportunity to be a Patreon and support your art. Thank you thank you thank you. Just wow. With love, Alexis

Thank you, Beautiful Powerful Dakini, for the Pick of Destiny. It made the first AFP show I attended extra special. The pick is sitting on my Guan Yin statue altar to bless the rest of the tour. Then I will frame it. Now, burn my white college ruled notebook aka Mother Fucking Journal of Doom after you have a moment to sheath your machete once the tour is done. Though, valiant machete pose by bonfire light would be awesome. You landed in Ireland at the right time. You landed in Missouri at the time. All the things will burn at the right time. https://images.app.goo.gl/X9ueTMcufV4ipUYv8

Oh, Amanda, I’ve waited 11 years to see you in person and the St. Louis show was well worth the 4 hour drive and then some! Living in a small Indiana town can make it challenging to see talented artists. The next closest you’ve been to me has been Chicago, but the timing of those shows and my anxiety of traffic has always got in the way. My husband, one of those incredible male allies, made sure to purchase tickets the minute he saw them and I’m forever grateful to him for that. My heart needed you and every thing you said on that stage. It was like a concert/TED talk/improv/open mic night all in one, unlike anything else I’ve experienced. There Will Be No Intermission is the first and only album that I’ve ever connected with on such a deep, dark, personal level. I always thought I was strange because I just didn’t “connect” with much music. Sure, I like a ton of artists and songs, but nothing made me feel like I could truly 100% relate. When I was a teenager all of my peers were obsessing over boy bands and pop songs that while very catchy, they lacked substance. I was struggling to figure out who I was, was traumatized by being raped when I was 15, and basically just felt so alone in this crazy world. Your album gave me validation I didn’t know I needed. I listened to it all in one setting - crying and laughing over and over again. See, aside from the rape that I always felt I was responsible for (as so many others can relate), 15 years later when I was 30 (nearly 4 years ago) my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. That was the worst phone call of my life. I’m an only child so we were very close, even though I never had the courage to tell her about my rape and regret that still. I didn’t get pregnant or an STD/STI and just dealt with the entire high school talking about me. Being an adult was different though, or should have been. About 3 months after my mom got her diagnosis I found out I was pregnant. We decided that we wanted a baby after going back and forth for a good 5 years on that topic. Then at 5 weeks had a miscarriage - alone and in my bathroom. I handled it myself and wanted no one else to help. I understood what you said about being in a hotel room alone more than you could imagine. 6 months after she was diagnosed, we became pregnant again and this one was viable. I was a nervous wreck the whole time. We never told anyone except for a couple of close friends that I miscarried our first attempt. I didn’t want that burden on anyone else. I then became a mother in June of 2016 and just 3 months later in September 2016 my best friend was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer. In January 2017 my mother passed away. In February 2017 my best friend passed away. They both only got about a dozen good days with my daughter. You said at your show that you were in a “death and birth sandwich” and holy shit I was too. I was barely hanging on and trying my best to keep my 6 month-old baby alive while the two women I loved both took their last breaths. I had also gone through some severe PPD/PPA, gallbladder removal surgery, and a baby who refused a bottle so I was touched-out beyond belief. My hormones were creating a total shit show on the daily and I’d be lying if I didn’t think to myself more than once if it all was worth it. If I was worth it. I’m beyond lucky that I have a degree in counseling because I was able to implement strategies that I teach others, and without that mental health background I’m not sure I would have made it through. Your show brought some of those suppressed emotions back to the surface for me that I was finally able to look at square in the eye and process. All of this to say, it wasn’t just a four-hour therapy session for you, Amanda, it was for all of us. The Disney songs were the cherries on top of it all, too. I’m forever grateful for your beautiful, courageous, and brutally honest soul. Thank you from the bottom of everything in my being.
