hey lovers

i was on the fence about this one because baby ... but as you vancouverites know I've done a show in Vancouver every year for a few years running to coincide with TED to drag some of the TED talent to the people's stage. it's always a fanfuckintabulous night. 


I wasn't going to even attempt to put the show together this year but sarah shandl - the amazing helper I found THE NIGHT BEFORE THE FIRST SHOW VIA TWITTER convinced me the other night over text. she was like YOU GONNA DO IT and I was like NO, BECAUSE BABY and she was like YOU SURE and I was like YEAH and she was like REALLY ARE and I was like AGGGG OKAY LETS DO THE THING  QUICK CALL THE VOGUE. and they had a night free. so BAM. 


the line-up is always a total surprise because I never know who I'm going to run into at TED...but it's always so good. 


here's a little write up from our first year:

at the very least, maria popova and I are going to talk about children's books and Alice's adventures underground and she's convinced me to cover "white rabbit". so there's that. and I might be able to find a string quartet and play you some of my surprise ....


also, I'll have a baby since I'm a single mom that week at TED.

Great poster. I love the "with a bunch of random people" part! Only Amanda can pull this off.

Alice in Wonderland? Just don't give any pepper to the baby! ;-)

Sounds mind-blowingly amazing… so many of my favourite things in one place, and it's on my birthday! Alas. Someday.

Slightly off topic, but I'm not sure your January "thinging" took. I don't see any outgoing patronage to you on this month's statement.

Thank you so much for doing it! I just bought my tickets and I'm so excited to see you again. Last time I saw you live was the Vancouver show with Neil in 2011(?). It was fantastic. Looking forward to seeing you again (and Maria!). <3

There's a local group I've just heard of recently called the Impromptu Rock Choir that hosts a weekly drop-in choir with random people of any skill level. Just this past weekend they got together for a Bowie tribute night. Perhaps you could recruit them into the festivities? <a href="http://www.impromptumusic.ca/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.impromptumusic.ca/</a>

Has anybody heard whether the Amazing Amanda might do some signing or hang around a bit after the show?
