goodbye, hello. (Patreon)

hey guys.

i just slaved for an hour or so writing up an email for the golden email-list....i know most of you are probably on it, and there's very little news that hits the email list first, but you should all be on it, because you should. it's usually a best-off what's happening and i'm going to eventually (i keep saying this) use it as the platform for the "ask amanda" column that i keep promising to kick off but WTF people keep dying and being born and i keep not having time and i want it to be good.

so.

you join the email list HERE, it takes 4 seconds, and i try to keep the emails amusing and beautiful:

i'm finding my footing with this baby very, very slowly, but it's truly strange work.

i've hired my first real babysitter. I HAVE A BABYSITTER. i don't like saying it. i feel like an adult. i am an adult. i am an adult. shhhh amanda, they'll hear you.

tonight we decided to have a calm easy night watching the democratic debate, which i live-tweeted, and 

-neil dropped a piece of firewood on my macbook

-the baby threw up all over both of us AND the couch

-i gave my finger a second-degree burn taking some root veggies out of the oven

i'm feeling the bern, yo.

and i'm clearly not an adult.

phew.

..............

in news, and this'll be included in the email that goes out tomorrow or the next day...i'm closing down the APP.

YOU HAVE AN APP?

yes i have/HAD an app, i built it about three years ago to come out with theatre is evil. and while it was kinda cool, most people are communicating through the patreon FB group and here, and the app costs $500 a month just to exist. so i was like: fuck it. and i'll make a better app when i have more budget and a better plan of what i'm going to do when i overhaul the amandapalmer.net website, another project that i've got slowly in the works, especially now that i have a little more budget to work with and a core group of supporters. (that's you guys. hi!)

so, bye the app. if anyone here is devastated, tell me. it's possible i could keep it online...but it really feels like a waste of dough at the moment.

some things come, some things go.

a few other quickies: 

-THANK YOU for all the people who supported geeta's patreon. it looks like about 200 of you took the plunge, and she's beside herself. you're awesome, if it was you. i can't wait to see what she writes!

-if you're in santa fe i'm doing a BERNIE SANDERS webcast event this saturday (jan 23rd) at around 3 pm. details forthcoming, i'll let you guys know first because there are only 120 seats!! stay tuned and follow the twitter too.

-the "machete" undertaking is sounding amazing as we mix and mix and....

-i have another musical surprise coming your way. you'll see why i had to when you see it. trust me.
