HELLO MY LOVES

I'll read comments here before we take stage tonight in NoLa for the final show.

TL;DR: the dresden dolls stream from last night was epic and it's up here:

THANK YOU ALL FOR FUNDING IT!!!!! WHEEEeeeeeEEEEEE.....

**I'm on my way right now to meet up with the New Orleans patrons - if you missed the memo, info here: Jackson Sq....Michael and I should be there by around 5:30. We'll get photos for you. Thread on the shadowbox: https://forum.theshadowbox.net/t/new-orleans-meet-up-weekend-of-6-23-25/11429/35**

And....that's a New Orleans killer-ass stream wrap.

We sleighed in New Orleans a second night, this time on camera.

I am fucking exhausted, Brian is fucking exhausted, and after a long nap and a short field trip to the Music Box Village today (they opened up for us! thanks Leah!!!), we are headed to do show #3 in New Orleans. THE LAST SHOW OF THE SEASON. It's been an invcredible run of dates, and we are flattened and joyful. I will write more about the tour wrapping up and what it all means...in the Althing, which I'll try to get out mid-week.

.............

The stream last night was just SO SO SO astoundingly good, all the feedback has been stellar....and I wanted to thank you all for funding it so that the global community could watch the band FOR FREE!!!!!!

We didn't send the link public, but about 4,000 people tuned in, and about 7,000 have watched it since last night (!!!) ....here is the unlisted link again - GO SEE!!!!

HOW LONG WILL IT STAY UP? I Dunno. I was gonna ask you guys.

You paid for this (and it wasn't cheap :)

We are gonna leave it up for at LEAST another 5-6 days while we decide whether or not we wanna flip it public or take it down.

I don't speak fluent internet anymore and don't even know how to deal with these things.

Leave it unlisted? Leave it up and pimp it to social media? Make it disappear and YOU HAD TO BE THERE?

Grab two or three of the strongest clips and put them on YouTube, standing alone?

I don't fuckin know. You tell me. Seriously. What should we do? I'm reading comments. Nobody seems to know anything anymore. It all feels random.

I posted this up before I went to sleep last night:

Holy fuckballs …. and that’s a wrap internet and New Orleans. That’s the sickest show the dolls have played possibly in the history of being a band and my god I am fucking tired and have taken a shower and goodnight and I am slowly ever so slowly remembering who I am and what I am capable of when I am not forcing myself to be quiet. My fucking god I love my band and Brian Viglione so fucking much. That man is incapable of phoning any fucking thing in ever and I am a very very very lucky musician. Goddddamnnnnn and good night

(I also sent this short little voiceramble into the $5+ patrons' ears this morning. I was so happy and floating down the streest on cloud nine.....)

Some last night fun photos.....

A bit about our very special speaker-guest; Amy Irvin.....

She's the co-founder and former executive director of the New Orleans Abortion Fund, we met shortly after I got to NoLa through the various activists here.

She talked to the crowd about the very sorry state of Abortion rights here in Louisiana.

We are DEEP SOUTH HERE.

Abortion care is pretty much criminalized here in this state, and people have to far hundreds and sometimes thousands of miles (and spend hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars) out of state to find options.

Amy's outfit, Creative Community League, "utilizes cultural strategies for movement building, supporting artists, storytelling, and other dynamic community involvement in fostering conversations about sexual and reproductive health, rights and justice in creative spaces." Basically: it's a community network to help progress in the Repro Rights area.
