Kia Ora Aoteroa Patron Whānau!!

Greetings from down here. I'm scrambling, and enjoying it, and reeling in comfort and gratitude from your responses to the last post. I fucking love patronage and I love you and I love feeling safe enough to make unsafe art.

You have my back and I really feel it. 

This is everything to me.  

I WANNA HANG OUT BEFORE I LEAVE THIS COUNTRY AGAIN....

Everybody else on the globe can basically ignore this, or just read it and get grumpy that you're not in New Zealand with us.

I've got a rental house for the week again here on Waiheke Island, and I'd love to invite any patrons over for a ukulele strum and a chin wag on …

SUNDAY, JAN 15th from 2-4pm - this is the day of the Waiheke Artworks Theater Fundraiser!!! (which is very sold out, hooray).

Bring a snack to share if you can, but no biggie. We'll sit and chat and mingle and I'd love to have a chat with you all about All Things Kiwi and patreon, I've missed doing this sort of thing.

I don't have a piano handy, but I can play a new song on uke :)

IF YOU CAN COME, PLEASE RSVP. I'll send the address via post on the morning of - and if there's too many people to fit in the house and the weather's fine, I might re-direct us all to the beach....

Don't worry. I'll give you really clear directions, and I'll email the address by around 10am, it's in downtown Onera, which is TINY. about a 15 min walk from the passenger ferry! Here are the Auckland-Waiheke Ferry times.

There's a 12, 12:30 and a 1pm from Auckland to Waiheke that'll get you there with plenty of time. 

PLEASE RSVP,

I LOVE YOU,

See and hug many of you on Sunday,

Let’s enjoy this while we can.

Alina Siegfried

So close, yet so far! Will be thinking of y’all from Wellington x

Tym Rourke

Sad I will miss being half a world away! But happy for those that aren't who can be present!

Elaine Wilson

I chose "stop it," but I don't really mean STOP it, I just mean, like, stop it. 💜

Robert Williams

Next ninja trip … the Barossa valley, south Oz 😁❤️

Kirsten Petersen

Hey Amanda - it's weird for me to say this since we have never met, but I just want you to know that I love you. Maybe if we met we wouldn't get a long. I'm an introvert, you're *cough* a spectacular extrovert. But I just love your goddamn mind. Love it. I read everything you have to say, and it always makes me think, and the world needs more of that, and I just ... wanted you to know. Keep doing you.

My cat wants to go meet strangers so he can purr at them.

Wish I had known you were heading back to Nz- would have loved to have come to a concert in Auckland with a little more notice! Love from Tina in Wellington

You should have given us an option to vote, hey, enjoyed reading that you are getting your thing on in Aotearoa. Yay!

Nora Czy

See you soon! I'm bringing a friend :)

Christiane Roeller

It's so nice to be at least in Aotearoa with you at the same time - but I'm in Napier now, probably climbing Te Mata Peak on Sunday. Have fun, be happy, love from Christiane.

Rebecca Ryan

Aw that’s so good ..enjoy the pace just for a bit..there 💗 Aotearoa is just down the road..really..and over some water..for me.from Melbourne 😅 dammit Have fun folk! xo

Deniz Bevan

I'm totally grumpy :p I hope you all have an awesome time <3

Jessica Miller

I hope it is wonderful for those attending. I'm not upset or disappointed, I don't feel taunted. Compersion and so much love.

Stefan Kügler

Can't you be there in a bit over one month, that's when my wife and I will be attending a wedding in NZ. Too bad, Austria is just in the opposite side of the Earth. 😪

Misty

As someone who got into your music and community during your long stay in NZ, I really resonate with the third option.

Maxwell Holder

HAVE FUN!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

DarkStardust

I clicked the 'taunted' option but don't really want you to stop. I can't make any of the American events either :D Keep on doing the things!

I handed my phone to my dad to show him an email from a contractor that did some work on his house. When I came back into the room and asked if he was finished with my phone, he said "In a minute - I'm reading about her music." I looked to see what the heck he was talking about, and saw that he was absorbed in this email, even though he had no idea who you are or what Patreon is! I just spent the last few minutes trying to explain that you are a musician, but also sometimes a statue, and some people only know about you because of the way you talk about crowdfunding, and that you are from New York, but actually sort of Boston, but now sometimes New Zealand, and one time you went to Cuba and just made sure a bunch of artists got paid to make art.

John Doherty

Not taunting at all. I like to think of it as a tease, making me think of similar gatherings in other stops

Len Tower Jr.

Molly, And you have barely scratched the surface of Amanda's career. You might find a good interview for your Dad. -Len

holly

Thomas Herlofsen

All the love. Keep taunting us from Woodstock, New Zealand, everywhere. Just be happy ❤️

Mel

Ohhh I just moved to NZ (Auckland) with my partner this week and don't know anyone here. this is definitely the best timing ever 😍 See you tomorrow ❤️

Jacki Parry

Yes, I can make it. See you tomorrow!

Nora Czy

Is there an address?
