patron-only webcast/AMA about to start - and THE SHOW ON SATURDAY WILL BE LIVE-STREAMED! (Patreon)

hallo loves

JUST ABOUT TO GO LIVE, https://www.crowdcast.io/e/u10elzj6, for $10 folks. there's already a group assembled, i may be a few minutes late (probably closer to 11:15/11:20, i need to throw a shirt on and tune the uke). just start chatting and asking questions! hayley is gonna join us, and other guests....

it has been a week. my beloved da, jack palmer, came for a woodstock visit and wound up in the hospital (or as the brits and kiwis would say, "in hospital") for three days and the last three days have been, well...that. 

he's okay, holding steady, got discharged last night, but everything is.....very wonky and i've been away from my desk for obvious reasons. 

it's a lot. 

i almost canceled, but you guys know me. let's just do it. i was hoping that the webcast today would be a high-end, well-curated slick and fancy something or other but NO, you're just gonna get me on my laptop in my underwear, since i slept 12 hours last night after getting dad home, and it's very on-=brand for amanda. underwear and weeping and ukuleles it shall be. but i DO have a piano...and i do need company and poems. it starts at 11:11am EST in just a few minutes, ask me anything. i need to commune. it's for the $10 patrons only to keep it small. i'm also gonna bring on TWO surprise guests, maybe three if it works out :)

here's the link again, you need to sign in through patreon to access the cast:

AND SPEAKING OF WEBCASTS....

THE O+ FUNDRAISER at the OLD DUTCH CHURCH in KINGSTON, NY ON SATURDAY IS 100% GOING TO BE LIVE-STREAMED FREE TO THE PUBLIC, funded by you you you.

it's going to be absolutely incredible, and this line up (me, gracie and rachel, holly miranda, writer/activist father nathan monk, writer/poet sophie strand, and ukrainain performance artist/painter svitlanda zavialova to raise extra money for ukraine) is NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. it is going to be a magic, magic, magic night. i am so excited we could get a streaming crew together. i am so glad i have a patreon to fund this shit. PLEASE COME AND WATCH. it'll start around 7:45/8pm saturday night, aug 13th. link coming soon (and bless her heart, hayley is going to be the stream-master). and the webcast /crew is AMAZING, we had a great meeting yesterday:

you patrons are footing the bill, and i goddamn love you. it's such a great cause, and we'll kick back dough to the organization - who really needs it - and to the artists, who can now get PAID! it's such a win win.

we will probably send out the ACTUAL LINK for the show/RSVP, etc on thursday or friday...watch for it.

you can still buy tickets for the SHOW ITSELF, in kingston, NY, here: https://opositivefestival.org/31390/o-benefit-amanda-palmer-in-concert/

meanwhile.....my podcast with susan cain was supposed to come out today...and .....fuck . there's a lot. i don't know how i'm gonna get all this done, but i'm gonna try like hell. 

SEE YOU ALL SOON.
