HALLO LOVES

firstlies, welcome to a handful of new patrons...i assume you wended your way over here because of the judy blume video. HELLOOO!! WELCOME!! it's nice here and you're about to experience the overwhelming joy of getting lots of rambling emails from me. excuse the typose.

today: i'm in the recording studio in cape town recording a bunch of piano demos and surprises (you'll be getting one of them soon)....and if you MISSED the amazing and shambolic talk live from the studio last night. it's archived HERE: https://www.facebook.com/WeAreTheEye/videos/2006306736361173/ 

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

the judy blume video is doing effing beautifully on the internetz, it's racked up 20,000 views and nick offerman from parks and rec said it made him cry, so i feel like i can die now...keep sharing it around! i'm so very proud of it.

..........

meanwhile, THE UK/IRELAND DATES are about to go on sale to patrons only, bloody hell, its TIME TO GET TICKETS. by the time you read this the links will probably be live.

these shows are going to be intimate and piano-y and wonderful...i'll be working out stuff for the upcoming record, signing after all the shows, and probably be ASH-FREE (eeeee) because neil will hold down the dada fort in london while i travel around with andrew o'neill, this beautiful heavy-metal-comedian-in-a-dress that i know many of you already know (he's AMAZING). andrew and i will undoubtedly come up with hijinx.

so here we go:  here is the info and links for the patreon presale. tickets go live for patrons at 10 am GMT (london time) wednesday. 

read carefully.

A Conversation with Amanda Palmer and Lauren Beukes

The upcoming February lectures conference, held at UNISA in Pretoria on 22-24 February, will explore how South African queer lives, engaged writing and theory intersect with the narrative(s) of the contemporary moment. A number of texts will be discussed, including the works of Lauren Beukes, as well as the film, The Wound/Inxeba. For more info, see www.februarylectures.co.za.

We are very excited to announce a special session, entitled “Lauren Beukes and Amanda Palmer, in conversation”, on Thursday, 22 February, at 16:15.

A very limited number of seats are available for this exclusive session. The first 40 people to send their names and SA ID numbers, along with the special password LaurenandAmanda to februarylectures@gmail.com, will be able to attend the session for R200.
