hello loves.

well.

it seems like i'm going to be on this island for some time to come.

given the unmeasureable situation in the states, it just does not seem like a good idea to race back to new york.

i've decided i'm going to stay here, with ash, for at least the next few months. i've moved into a smaller and more sustainable air bnb in hastings, and i'm living a very small and manageable little life with ash and my housemate and pal xanthea, from melbourne, who's helping out with a little bit of everything.

and together, we look out at the sun setting over the sheep every night and wonder what the fuck happened to our lives.

we still don't know. we'll get back to you.

as may of you know, this was supposed to be a down/off period for me, post There Will Be No Intermission, to get my shit together and have a big long rest.

but i can't help it - i'm here, and i want to DO THINGS. 

that being said, i have some things to talk about:

i have TWO THINGS COMING UP HERE IN HAWKES BAY:

this saturday, june 20th, i kid you not, i am busking at the napier farmer's market. i'll be sharing the slot with a few local friends. 9 am -1pm (ish). comer by and say hi: https://www.hawkesbaynz.com/visit/us/napier-urban-farmers-market

can you picture it? i can.

......


THEN

friday and saturday nights, JULY 3 & 4....in hawkes bay

i am going to do a TEENY TINY COUPLE OF HOUSE PARTY-style shows, called "sitting room sessions", with a pal i've made here named jamie macphail who puts on these beautiful little intimate shows.....

they only fit FIFTY PEOPLE! i went to one a few weeks ago with the artist reb fountain and it was so cosy and wonderful...


THIS SHOW IS NOT PUBLIC AND I WILL NOT ANNOUNCE IT TO SOCIAL MEDIA.

there are only a few tickets, and they go on sale Tto jamie's mailing list TODAY.

i am giving you guys the heads up so you can nab tickets.

......

here's how it works!

FRI AND SATURDAY - JULY 3 & 4

in haumoana, hawkes bay (address will be sent to you!)

7 pm doors, 8 pm start.

as i said above....the shows will be tiny, in a small out-of-the-way little hidey-hole in haumoana, hawkes bay. 

tickets are $45.

you have to EMAIL JAMIE TO GET A TICKET AND ADDRESS!

his email is jamie@macphails.co.nz.

LET HIM KNOW WHICH NIGHT YOU WANNA COME.

IF YOU ARE IN WELLINGTON OR AUCKLAND OR ANYWHERE....WHY NOT TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO COME TO THIS WEIRD PLACE? COME ON, DO IT.

.......

if you miss out on tickets, DO NOT WORRY. i will 100% be doing more stuff in hawkes bay at some point soon. just trying to figure out what. maybe something at the opera house in hastings....or paisley stage or the cabana in napier, or ALL THREE....

i just paid a visit to the opera house...boy is it pretty...


and furthermore....if ANYBODY here on the north or south island has any ideas for venues where i can do something fun and exciting .... i'm open.

i'll be here til at least october. 

i will DEFINITELY BE COMING BACK TO WELLINGTON to perform the canceled show in the church, so keep your eyes peeled.

know of a venue....that i should come play? something warm and welcoming that can fit 100-500 people?

let's do it. tell me. email management@amandapalmer.net with ideas.

i'm particularly interesting in doing something weird in dunedin...i've never been, and i want to take ash.

hit me.

Love the photo of you in the opera house! Have an amazing upcoming show in NZ!

This is charming! mysteriously, unfathomably charming . . . i wonder if Ash will write a story about a young boy sheltered in place on a magical island . . . whose mother traversed between busking at Farmer's Markets and Opera Halls.

We are coming down from Auckland for the show on the 4th - my first trip out of town since lockdown! The last gig I saw was AFP at the Hollywood - and now she will be my first post-lockdown gig too - I do like that symmetry! xx

Hooray for more adventures for you and your tribe in NZ! I would love for another show to occur in Auckland! XoOx

Yaaaaaay! The Queen slowly flexes her gig muscles again! Xoxoxox

I'm concerned, because New Zealand in the last two days has had new COVID cases from out of country; they are trying to trace them. My birthday is the fourth, and I fucking HATE my birthday. I want to be held but that's not in the cards for obvious reasons. I guess for my birthday I'd ask for your heart. But that isn't reasonable, because I am always thinking of Neil and, well, I can't ask for your heart (I don't mean this romantically) if it reminds you of Neil. That said, I've been hurting so much in isolation. So if anybody wants to wish me a warm heartfelt birthday, with no perfunctory crap, I'd appreciate it.

Happy Birthday, Brian. You are a shiny bright star. I like how you express yourself. Be well and keep speaking your truth.

Just saw amanda at the farmers market today. Was spectacular. So entertaining, even ash doing the Robot! Is certainly a worry that covid is back in nz but atm hawkes bay seems to be safe.

Amanda... I just wanted to tell you that I couldn't go to the market to see you but my friend convinced me to busk at our local market here in welly and I had my busking christening (it was lightly raining) (or as my friend put it loss of busking virginity). I made eight dollars (and two doughnuts, literally) and we went for a coffee. I feel awesome.

Looking forward to something happening at the paisley lounge in Napier Amanda! It was great seeing you at the farmers market on Saturday - even if you didn’t recognise me 😂

Stephanie Thomas

it was a bit of a crazy time when we met, just coming out of level 3 lock down and the myriad of things going on. Let’s share some wine soon eh x
