(patron-only post!)

hola comrades!!!


i  just realized (it took 4 people reminding me) that TODAY IS THE TENTH ANNIVERSAY OF YES VIRGINA - the dresden dolls' beautiful 2nd and last real record. my heart. go listen to it, it's still as beautiful as ever: https://dresdendolls.bandcamp.com/album/yes-virginia


it's that time of year...the boids are signing, the marathon runners are literally crossing the finish line a mile from my apartment in boston (well, it's 2 pm, so..the slow ones are)....


i'm throwing away old vitamins ....i'm getting my car fixed in the garage down the street....i'm deep-cleaning grime and shit out of my apartment and there are TAPES everywhere (see image).... and i am actually listening to them. the baby is going to get a real, traditional R.E.M. and Cure education, goddamit. *flip*...AND I'M ON FIRE.

.....


MEANWHILE - today was a perfect day to launch the long-awaited official patron FACEBOOK GROUP. where else can i post all my shitty photos of my old R.E.M. tapes? 


i've been trying and trying to find an alternative place for discussion.... especially one that's HOSTED ON PATREON, but it's slow slow goin. so for the time being, FUCK IT! let's use facebook. i don't want to spam this here patreon list with 23 thoughts and articles a day....but all that stuff needs to go SOMEWHERE. it used to go onto the dolls forum, then it was myspace, then.


SO, here it is, ZEE OFFICIAL GROUP!!! if you're on facebook, go go go:


https://www.facebook.com/groups/afpland


....if you ask for an invite you'll be accepted pretty quickly, we're online all day. i've finally been clearing out all the links and articles that are too deep for twitter but not appropriate for my regular FB page, which i try not to post to all day long every day. this group is for technically for our community of patrons but we're not policing it hardcore....just be mindful. 


and FYI, the unofficial FB patreon group is still up and thriving and being moderated by omega...it's not goin anywhere! my metaphor: this new official group is like a massive rowdy bar, and the unofficial page is like the room upstairs from the bar. the two pages work in symbiosis. 


LASTLY....i have exciting news in the THING DEPARTMENT. i think i'll have something pretty amazing for you by the end of the month, stay tuned. this one kinda came outta nowhere.

I love cassettes! I do not love Facebook and am not on it. Will there be no more Patroen posts here? Will I have to join FB now to get any news or posts? *sad.

Oh, and I have Yes and No Virginia on my fone, which I listen to on random along with a lotta other stuff, daily.

I still have all of my old cassette tapes but nothing to play them on! I have most of the good stuff on CD now though. There are a couple of tapes from when I guested as a DJ on my local radio station which I'd love to listen to again though! I'm not on Facebook don't trust it. It's pretty hard for me to keep up with the Patreon posts already though! I'll listen to Yes Virginia on my iPod (I'm so old school!) today. Xx

I just saw freckles with those huge blue eyes!
