....

AUCKLANDERS...I MADE IT EASY...TAKE THE PASSENGER FERRY!!!

MORRA HALL IS RIGHT NEAR TO THE FERRY LANDING in waiheke if you're coming from the CBD. it's about a 10-15 minute walk from the matiatia ferry to morra hall, and then another 5 minute walk into downtown oneroa. i picked this hall (and am doing the two shows there) specifically so you can get on the ferry and eat in town either before or after the show. the 8:30pm show will be over by about 10:30pm so you'll easily be able to get to one of the last ferries, which leave at 11pm and 12:30 back to the mainland!!! here's the ferry schedule: https://www.fullers.co.nz/timetables-and-fares/?from=AUCK&to=WAIH

ALSO....

if you want dinner spot recommendations: 

go to 

-cafe fenice for pizza/italian

-red crab for thai

-ajadz for indian

-sol cafe for cute local everything-food and very nice vibe

if you really wanna treat yourself, book in an early dinner at mudbrick vineyard, right outside of town. you can get there on foot or bike from the ferry, or take a cab. it's goddamn stunning and the food & sunset views are to die for. 

tell them amanda sent you.....

......

HERE ARE THE AMAZING OPENERS!!!!!:

my new pal CONSTANCE MARAJ, self-proclaimed "Living work of art, Celtic Maori Witch, Drag Queen, Artist, Conceptualist, 90's child, 80's baby...."

and my other pal PRINCESS CHELSEA, whose music i've loved for many years.

AND to whet your appetite, here are some shots of the venues.....

i took these photos of palm beach hall a few days ago. ash was attending a BIRTHDAY PARTY there :)

here's morra hall....EEEEEEE......!!!!!

and here's tiny little omiha hall in rocky bay....

.,................

meanwhile.....life? well.

greetings from the new zealand "winter school holidays" as they call them....we are still in queenstown where the wind whips and it's freezing, but, dude, i'm killing it at motherhood because, well, ash is having the time of his goddamn life. 

HE LOVES THE SNOW SO MUCH AND CNNOT STOP EATING IT. and the mountains....my god.....you've never seen shit like this. maybe you HAVE....but, i mean...i certainly hadn't. 

THANK YOU ALL for all the suggestions two posts ago!!!! i've been knocking things off one by one.....we went to arrowtown yesterday (as suggested by many of you) and he bought a tuatara puppet and named them koro, after our drag queen friend....see above. 

here's ash in arrowtown....with a maori picture dictionary book he just coerced me into buying for him....he also wanted some ugg boots with ribbons on them and i did not say no.

i also took him for his very first kiddie skiiing lesson. holy shit....he loved it. LOVED IT.

i'm overwhlemed, however, with all the back-and-forth about whether or not - and when - to go back to the states. i'm in a mental free-spin-out.

so....i was excited to hit the slopes yesterday for the first time since i was 15, but having rented all the gear (boots, skis, a jacket, gloves, snow pants, the works....), i was fielding texts from my houseguest-sitter back on waiheke about the power not working and i was dealing with conversations with neil about what to do with our life and i started getting hot in my coat and snowsuit and i saw the massive crowds of people at the chairlift and literally did a 180. i just gave up.

i left ash with his kiddie ski group, turned around, explained to the people at the ski gear rental that i was backing out, graciously accepted their refund, and went to the cardrona base ski slope cafe to try to think for fifty minutes by goddamn myself. 

sometimes you just gotta bail. sometimes you just gotta go to the ski slope bathroom and have a little cry. sometimes you just gotta accept how incredibly privileged your problems are as you order a coffee on a ski slope and deal with the problems on your godamn iphone.

heading home....? it's looking more likely, but the delta variant is fucking it up. i don't know, guys. i just don't know. i am still not sure what's happening with my movements on any given day, and i am practicing my zens, and trying to give this child a life that appears and feels "normal".  it's normal to him. 

he's happy. so everything is fine. i also got my period yesterday, and i'm peri-menopausal, that probably didn't help. we'll see.

here's ash, as happy as i think i've ever seen him....

more soon.

i love you all.

hang in there for me

Finally get to bring my sister to see you after her being unwell for the before times intermission show and the in between times St Matthews show! Third times a charm for our local wee hall Morra! Evening show tkts just purchased yay! Let me know if you need any set up help as I'm a quick bike ride away from the hall and have a couple of pretty star led light curtains and led light gizmos that could be pretty in the Morra Hall x

Oh wow I just saw on Instagram you are doing the Routeburn this weekend. It is so epic and also it is massive!! Some bits are pretty exposed. Oh my what a journey... I hope the weather is kind to you. The South island energy is beautiful and deep huh...i am so excited you are getting to hang out down there. There is a little side track near the end of the Routeburn (the Other end if you're starting Glenorchy way) that is sooo magical, you might be sure tired by then but I really recommend it. Such special little alpine lake ecosystem with all these teenie rare alpine plants. Gosh so so many years since I did that hike. Take lots of care and enjoy the magical deep south. Xxx

Kathryn Drew

I'm Just thinking about Routeburn again. Wanted to come online to warn you. That person who said it is easy. I'd say Moderate. I did it in three days and they were three long physically hard days in my memory (this was back when my body was healthy)...it would maybe be better stretching over four and staying three nights. Maybe it felt harder because I was camping and my second day was super long to get to the tent site. i went from lake makensie hut all the way to routeburn flats. Also...winter...a few sections could get pretty dicey, they're exposed and steep. I'm sure your friends and the locals have given you all the info you need but I just wanted to add this. People get caught out in the bush here all the time. Turning back is always an option okay my love? Edit....ahhh...Maybe you only plan to walk in for a day and stay one night and walk back out the same way...that would make more sense. Im looking at the DoC website (reminiscing!) and it has some pretty serious warnings about needing alpine skills and avalanches etc and i'm sure you must've checked all that out. In fact after looking at the DOC info, I'm pretty sure you're just doing a day walk and if you were planning on doing the whole trip I'd say please please dont!! Please kiss the sky for me and have an alpine lake/river dip!!. The Routeburn is magic. How utterly excited I am to think of you experiencing that deep south forest beauty. Love you x

Baby, I would sit out there in beauty and safety for as long as you can stick it. Both me and my husband are vaccinated and he just tested positive for Covid (lots of mucus and nose nastiness so I'm assuming it must be Delta). It wasn't too too bad or too long lasting, and I didn't catch it even being in the same household and sharing spoons and kisses, but his fever did get up to 103 and that was scary. I don't know if Ash is vaccinated, but I recommend not fucking around with it if you don't have to.

We’re in an odd spot at the moment. Unless NYS requires it, we’re not sure if the Montessori school our son is starting at this Fall is going to require masks for his age group, but that’s the new recommendation of the American Academy of Pediatrics. ( https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/all-children-should-wear-masks-school-fall-even-if-vaccinated-n1274358) ) We know our son won’t have an issue wearing a mask, but feel iffy about his school not requiring it, and don’t love him starting at a new school where something like masking could be a divisive issue from the first day.

Carla Norman

Fully vaccinated, was allowed (with proof of negative Covid test) to travel by air from Canada to US to see friends/family. First time I've left my immediate neighbourhood in 16 months. Not going to lie - it's been amazing, and everyone I've seen has been fully vaccinated and super-careful. But I've been here for 3 weeks, and I'm heading back (with another negative Covid test) and I think I'm a heartbeat ahead of Delta and renewed lockdown.

Two of us coming for the 8pm at Morra, and don't have anywhere to stay so would prefer Saturday before the 8pm concert.

Laura Wellner

Ugh, peri-menopause, I'm so sorry. BUT the good news is, it won't kill you. That's all I got. I survived it. I'm done with it, and I'm still navigating the body I've been given. What the fuck. Life. Grab life by the ears and kiss it or kick it, it's yours. Love n' hugs!

my 5yr old nephew in NYC was in a montessori school, and he was required to wear a mask. He's changing to a smaller school this fall and is going to summer camp there now, and they also are requiring masks. He wears a mask everywhere when they are out of the house, unless they are able to be really socially distanced.

Karina

I take it Ash no longer misses his home back in the US, does he even remember it? Have you asked Ash if he wants to go "home" or stay there? I don't envy you being in the position of trying to decide when to go back to the US. I have to say it is very fucking frustrating having you in our hemisphere, and sooo close for this amount of time but not being able to come catch a show! I've never been to NZ and those photos of the mountains are really making me want to go even more, they remind me so much of Scotland. I wish I'd taken advantage of the travel bubble before Sydney went to shit again. Now I am stuck in lockdown again.

A little late to booking the tickets, but planning a weekend escape from Wellington! Just booked for the 4pm show on Saturday and can't wait!

Laura Mazzola

Why don’t you come home for a couple of weeks and see how it feels - would you be able to go back to NZ if you wanted? You would join the COVID rodeo with the rest of us, for sure we are going to have more Delta waves, need boosters, etc.

Jozias

Know that I suffer as long as you're not here in the US. As long as I didn't get that hug that I didn't dare to ask for. I will never and die suffering. At least I will know this life was of great value to suffer from, because I learned to know you and your family. I love you more.

I know it may not be exactly the one you are waiting for, but it seems like maybe a hug across the internet waves might be appreciated... so here's one from me to you: {{{hug}}}
