Thank you so much for taking us on your journey! This was my first concert with you and I had so many feels. My grandmother self administered her own abortions and ended up needing her uterus removed later in life, I suspect because of her treatments. I wish that she had had options that were more safe for her lifestyle. Thank you for being open about your experiences and writing Voicemail for Jill. Also my friend Jenne and I will never hear the main songs from The Little Mermaid and Frozen the same way again.

Amanda Fucking Palmer. I still don’t know what to say, it’s been two days of absorbing all the feelings and I still don’t know what to say. I came with my sister, she’s younger and I’ve almost always told her everything. She used to laugh when I would get serious and talk about all of my feelings; I had a lot of them. What I think is funny there is that before I discovered you, I never knew what to do with them. I would cry alone, hiding from everyone, feeling weak and silly. I’d pretend everything was okay. Then I found you, and I cried some more. After awhile I stopped hiding. Stopped pretending. I figured, if you could shout all this out to the world, I could at least tell my sister right? My entire family struggles with mood disorders of various flavors. Your music really made me believe there was nothing wrong with me regardless of them, it’s okay to be a little crazy, okay to be a little angry, okay to be yourself, okay to be uncertain of where you’re going. Okay to want to run every black Jeep (or Honda in my case) off the road until you finally get over that ex. Friday night brought back the entire journey I’ve had since discovering you, and I had my lifelong confidant and support holding my hand through it all. She cried her way through it all with me. Now, we have families and careers of our own and your stories and music hit in a completely different way. It was desperately needed by us both. Thank you for sharing yourself with us, thank you for everything Amanda. XOXO

Hey Amanda 👋 what's the name of your friend Jason's..? floating circus thing. I went ahead and took the day off work...But I don't know what this amazing event is called 😲

Just read about Portland#1 and want to support you 100% about empathy and compassion. No rape issues, no abortions, so I can’t say how I’d feel, but I may be the only person in Seattle who feels sorry for trump. What a horrid life produced this horrid person. I saw your pre-show at Joe’s Pub and now the perfected show you did in Seattle. Your hard work shows. You have built your narrative and it is a thing of beauty. The Frozen riff is fantastic and fun. I regretted I did not drag more friends to your transformative show. So sorry that Portland night #1 was so combative and hard, but you are causing catharsis and creating healing and that is just not easy for all people to accept. Thank you for risking it all.

Hello Amanda! Thank you for the photos! I was very excited that I was able to be there for the group photo. The show was a thing of beauty. Thank you for playing the Dresden Dolls songs! The Disney tunes were an unexpected treat and I truly will never hear them the same way again! 😂 Your ability to combine humor with soul-baring truth is a true talent. Thank you for being you!

It's been 3 days and I am still emotionally hung over. Kudos, my friend. You are opening the cracks for the light to get in ❤

I'm just now signing this 'guestbook' because I was so wiped after the show and had to mentally unpack. Then came an unexpected root canal, and I've been knocked out on Vicodin. So I won't be as eloquent as I could, but still want to leave some words. I read your book before I heard any of your songs. I've never been pregnant and don't think I ever want to be. I went alone to your show and could have made friends with strangers, but felt too timid. You looked so comfortable in your own skin up on stage and I wish I could feel that way. I don't know how to bring my walls down unless I've already known someone for awhile. But you give me a little more bravery. In the last 3 years I've been your Patron: I've gotten myself to get up and make art, to post about what I believe in (even though I'm terrified about what the Republican side of my family will say), to believe my body is beautiful. You are just fucking fierce, and I love to follow your example and work it into my everyday life, one thin thread at a time.

I flew all the way from Dallas (and got stuck in Seattle) to come to the show! Bad weather back home meant 2 cancelled flights and a surprise extra hotel stay, but it was totally worth it to see you! This show was amazing. I laughed and cried way more than I expected to, and the way you wove story and the music together was absolutely art! The paramount was a gorgeous location and I’m so glad I came! Love you forever AFP!

Thank you for coming to Seattle!!!!!!!!!!!! One of THE BEST SHOWS I have ever seen!!!!!!! I brought two new AFP converts and they'll be reading Art Of Asking now! And thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you for sharing your stories. It's nice to know that I'm not as alone as I felt in my fucked-up-ness. I thought I was supposed to suffer in the darkness. Thank you for showing us your darkness, too. Your radical compassion is also mirrored in my heart. Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you. I see you. I love you. We are not alone. ♥️🤘♥️

I loved your show in Seattle. My first show of yours, but not my last. I have heard of you for a long time, but heard bits of your new album on NPR and was hooked. I have been so obsessed with all the thoughts of motherhood lately and your album was so powerful. I sent a link of A Mother's Confession to my mother, as an "I forgive you for everything" offering. She died 10 days before you came to Seattle and I cried through so much of your performance. And so much of the time between then and now. Thank you for helping me feel what I need to feel when I desperately want to shove it away.
