april POETRY BONANZA in NYC. w/ regina spektor, meryl streep, & more... (Patreon)

hey loves...

just landed at home. fucking exhausted, but weirdly happy and relieved to be back in the states.

lots of work to do in every department. ready. ready? ready.

i'm just about to send this below info out to the general afp/dolls mailing list (which i'd love it if you were on, by the way - i only send emails there every 3-6 weeks with mega-important info: join here... http://amandapalmer.net/emaillist)

mainly...I HAVE A TON OF WEIRD POETRY GIGS in NYC coming up in april, for national poetry month. i also have a weird little appearance in boston that i am ONLY ANNOUNCING HERE on the patreon because it's so tiny.

if you're a $100+ patron, contact hayley and she can get you tickets for either the 13th or the 24th.  they've given me ONE (1!!) VIP ticket to the meryl streep gig, but i may be able to give it away here - so stay tuned. i wouldn't give that one to a $100+ backer - since it's so special i'd hold some sort of lottery for all the NY patrons and hope that it went to a perfect home. we'll see what we can do....

anyway - here's allll the info for all the gigs -
