I'm so looking forward to your show!!! I've always enjoyed your in between songs rambles the most! You're such a natural at talking to people and telling stories, after your concert I feel like you just poured magic dust on me ✨

This is EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED. I'm currently volunteering at a local chapter of Rock Camp Alliance and our adult camp is just wrapping up. We take people (most of whom have never played an instrument) and in three days take them through instruction, band formation, and tomorrow night they'll be performing on stage for all their community, friends, and family. We talked a lot about fear today as we got ready to dismiss--what campers were afraid for tomorrow's concert, and what advice the volunteers (most of us musicians ourselves) had for those fears. One of our directors likes to talk about a kid (we do a summer camp for littles, 8-17) and hi said their biggest fear was that they'd poop their pants on stage--always a good ice breaker to help the adults get perspective, but some of our peeps have some nerves left. Listening to this as I'm settling in for the night has been the perfect advice. I want to bring a lot of this to the table tomorrow, just help our campers work through those fears before they take to the stage. This was so timely, as most things on your blog seem to be for so many of us. Thanks again. I'll be passing some of this wisdom on to about 60 campers tomorrow.

On the possibility of recording / filming The Show: I've been wondering whether I'm going to miss out on seeing this tour completely. With the UK dates coming out in the last post I've been thinking about logistics of getting to London maybe or Glasgow to see the show which normally wouldn't be a problem but I'm currently 36 weeks pregnant and about to enter a whole new chapter. And with talk about 'losing' the Evelyn Evelyn show to time, I'm wondering if there was any chance of a recording of the show happening. Living in Edinburgh, and with family in London, I got a lot of Amanda and the Dresden Dolls last year so I was going to chalk this one up to swings and roundabouts and count my blessings but it would be great to have a whole recording of the show for folks who for whatever reason can't make it out to the party.

I found myself in a spiral of fear last night and thankfully had my partner was there to talk to me. I've been feeling increasingly afraid of driving. As our lives get busier with a child we are discussing getting a second car. Suddenly I was lost in a paralyzing string of terrible thoughts. It kind of sounds silly typing it out, but in the moment I connected it to all of my other fears and suddenly I couldn't see the person sitting next to me. I would say that fear has been one of the defining factors of my life. At times galvanizing me to do amazing things and other times freezing me in my tracks. Thankfully, I woke up this morning and the thoughts of last night were faded by the sunlight and kid running into my bed. I listened today while juicing a pile of inedible clementines. Thanks for the talk. Today is looking brighter.

Kate when you get your exhibit let us know on Patreon. I’m not on FB &amp; I live in MSP. I would definitely love to see the art of a fellow AFP fan!

This is so true. It’s nice to be able to say yes I actually do know what I’m talking about, most of the time, and I’ll do it anyway, fear or no fear. I loved Ash’s interruption! Very familiar. But the most lovely thing about this voice ramble was hearing your laughs. Really made me smile coming home from work in the English dark. 😘

I love these. I have off from work today, so I am catching up on the ones I missed while I'm hanging things up in my new apartment, which I am calling the Isle of Elba, because the love of my life has banished me here for a time. It's a long story and I practically wrote you a book on the relationship voice ramble post above this one. Thank you for letting us in. It feels good to hear someone say "I love you"

Ah, I'm having this same fear of launching a project, but on a much smaller scale. I've been having this same talk with myself, "If it fails, it fails and it won't be the end of the world". I'm starting a new store to sell my handwoven art and even if someone just buys one piece I will be so happy.

I finally sat down and read The Art of Asking on a flight to and from LA this weekend, and having just finished that it gives some things you mention in these voice memos an amount of context that really adds an extra layer to them for me. I love it!

There is some footage from Evelyn Evelyn at the Oberon! It's here on your channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAsQhNgQc-w" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAsQhNgQc-w</a> (I had posted this link to my blog because the back of my head is down there in front.)

I cant help but connect this ramble to The Ride as well. That knowledge about fear is what makes the ride fun. Once you accept that you will be scared, it's thrilling instead of paralyzing. Loved that you shared background work on the show.

This one is very zen. No time for fear. Too much to do. Forward motion. Moving on.
