The show was amazing and I loved it! I was a little nervous going by myself but I made friends with the pink-haired woman from the meetup and her boyfriend... even though we didn’t sit together we talked before and after the show and are Facebook friends now. So that’s awesome! Also just wanted to tell you that the very next night after the show, my friend who lives up in Sacramento saw Neil in Santa Rosa! He texted me saying “I saw Neil Gaiman!” And I was all “I saw his wife last night!”

Amanda - I have been a fan of yours since I was 14 years old &amp; have seen you put on countless amazing shows over the years. But, fuck, this show was truly a step above the rest. I have never been more proud to support you as an artist than after this show. Your open and honest discussion about such dark subjects was so refreshing to hear &amp; I have not stopped thinking about this show since. I cannot wait to re-watch this performance to excess once the recording is released. I've been in awe of you for years &amp; this only re-affirmed that awe 10x over. So excited to be with you on your ride &lt;3

I love putting these amazing photos as my office desktop image because someone always asks who it is. Usually I say it's Amanda F. Palmer. Sometimes I say it'

Sometime I say it's my girlfriend, Charlotte. I've had one person say, oh! She doesn't shave her pits, either!! Like we're the best lesbo couple.

Saturday's show was a complete rollercoaster, or "Ride" if you will. One moment my eyes were filled with tears, the next you had me laughing. It was amazing. You were amazing. Thank you &lt;3

Amanda! It was my first time seeing you live and my twin's second - we both loved the show. We've been fans since our goth theater high school days when we were handed Dresden Dolls cd in 2003. The patreon photo was such a cool thing to be part of - suddenly stumbling into a whole community on the same journey with me and then seeing you come leaping out of a car to greet us. As for the show, it was an incredible experience. Your art has meant so much to me over the last decade and a half and carried me through the dips and rises. The Art of Asking was inspirational. The first time I heard Judy Bloom, I was reading Neil's Ocean at the End of the Lane (a big fan of his as well, I've got a sleeve of Death from Sandman). I was absolutely struck by the feeling that you both were speaking about the way a story can live within you, in such different kinds of art. The last time I heard it was when you opened the show and that's a memory that will live within me forever. I couldn't agree more with the stand you're taking in defense of women everywhere and I cannot understand anyone who doesn't. Thank you for you art and your dedication to feminism! You're making the world a better place.

My husband and I were at the LA show on Saturday. I became a patron on your birthday. I bought our tickets back in February and did so on the thought of "what am I waiting for, she isn't doing this tour again." I've been a fan since my fave cousin played me a CD he burned with Dresden Dolls songs, of which the very first one to hit my ears was coin-operated boy, I was utterly hooked after that. Your music makes me feel everything. So many emotions. That show was fucking epic, I cried, laughed, put myself into your headspace and imagined how you felt during those stories you were telling us from your life. It was all at once emotionally draining and invigorating. My hubs was preciously unfamiliar with you as an artist and he says he is forever changed after seeing you perform and listen to your stories. You put it all out there on the stage, raw, open, honest, funny as hell, humanly human in the best of ways, deeply thought provoking. Simply just an amazing woman. Thank you for doing what you're doing. We love you and will continue to support you and the causes that matter in life and fight the patriarchy tooth and nail right along side you.

It was my 4th Amanda's concert. The first one was back in 2012 in San Francisco, it was fun and kinda crazy. Then I went to a concert in Australia in 2017, it was profound and cozy. I went the next day, because I had to, even though I was 8 months pregnant and the heat was unbearable. And now, in May of 2019 I drove all the way to LA from San Diego, by myself to see Amanda. These 4.5 hours were heartbreaking and cathartic. Thank you so much for this. I think the effects of this concert are not in full swing yet, as it planted something inside of me that just keeps on growing. And I will report back on what I harvest from these seeds. Another thing was to seat next to a very conservative woman. She was brought by her daughter, but she acknowledged from the beginning that their views are very different. As the night went on, the woman was more and more shocked, shaking her head in disagreement over all the abortion stories and people's reactions. She chatted with me during the intermission. I wanted to scream "you are wrong!", but having a thought of radical compassion planted into my head by Amanda, I did not. I listened and and I something inside of me wanted to hug the conservative anti-abortion women. She judged Amanda and the fans, and I fought the desire to judge her. It was a challenge, a work out in compassion in love. I love you, conservative anti-abortion lady from Bakersfield. I love you for coming to a concert which you knew you would hate just to be closer to your daughter. I love you because you sat through the whole thing and did not leave despite being upset and scared. I hope you and your daughter are closer now and that you changed your mind. But I love you if you did not, because once you open up your heart (inspired by Amanda in my case), you can't close it.

Amanda, thank you, thank you, thank you, for all that you are doing! And thank you for saying everything you say so damn well!! Been a fan for awhile but this show blew my mind, heart, and soul wide open to a surprising degree and the friends I brought along had the same experience. It took us a couple days to recover and we kept commenting that we don't know how you go out and do this night after night. So we are sending you all our love and strength to help carry you through - take care of yourself out there on the road lady! I think your message is so important and I wanted you to know that the idea of "radical compassion" resonates with me so much with all I see around me daily and I will carry that with me from here forward. Much love, Siah

This was my first Amanda concert!!!! My emotions over what I experienced at The Ace Theater are too prodigious to capture in words. The power, the tears, the raw honesty; the palpable energy of human connection, and the agony of the human experience. MIND BLOWN. It was such a profound experience, I still can't stop thinking about. I didn't think it was possible to love Amanda more than I already do. I was wrong. You can always love more, give more, positively change the world more. Amanda, "Thank you" seems too small, too weak, for what I really want to say to you, but I will say it anyway. Your work of the past, present and future is incredibly important. Thank you for being brave. Thank you for being our voice. Thank you for being unapologetically you! XOXOXO

This is the pink haired woman, OMG thank you so much!!! I did get to speak with him a bit, thank you, and your show was absolutely out of this world amazing. I bet you could hear me crying, it was beautiful. After everything that's been going on, you were the light in the darkness. I actually listened to "Voicemail to Jill" on the way to the first abortion and spoke with a young woman, scared like I was and never had gone through it before either. I wrote your name and the title of the song for her, I told her it's what has been getting me through and she should definitely listen to it. All this death( my best friend died right before the end of last year 2 weeks before his wedding RIP Audie, then my other best friend had an abusive boyfriend that wouldn't leave and a Mom who was in hospice at the house with maybe a few weeks left so I helped get her a TPO so her and her 6 yr old could be with her Mom and have peace at the end, I stayed over with them almost every day RIP Sandy, then my fiance's grandma passed and I was unknowingly pregnant through the last 2 incidents. You helped me more than you could ever know. Thank you for your Art and thank you for being there singing beside me. Xoxo-Tiffany
