The State of All Things: MAY 2019 {official thing} (Patreon)

(patron only)

hello my loves.

i'm gonna open this Althing up with a fantastic preview from my vancouver show that just came out.

“...she’s doing something about the fact that years and years of U.S. political, economic, and social advances are being rolled back by what she rightfully describes as old, rich, conservative white men who are desperate to hold on to power they’ve had for far too long.” - The Georgia Straight 

YARRRRRRR

i love it when a journalist just totally...gets it. thank fuck for those occasional moments.

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

welcome to another monthly round-up of this crazy existence we call life.

if you’re new to the patreon (and i know there’s a ton of you, well.........HELLO!!!, this is my monthly Everything Blog. hayley rosenblum, my right-hand gal in the new york office (and often on the road) helps me put this together and it’s like our own little weirdo newsletter of all Things AFP, especially for those who don’t have time to read EVERY. SINGLE. POST. 

i know. 

i write a lot. 

sue me. 

i have a ton to say. 

especially lately.....that’s what i keep saying to people who are like “FIVE HOUR SHOW? AMANDA WHY?”

i’m like: i have a lot to say. it takes a while to say it all.

but also - i don't expect every patron of mine to READ EVERYTHING. there's SO MUCH. 

and also, i've been steeped a a general, deeper appreciation every day of this damn patreon. the more i tour and talk about it, the more i talk to newspapers, radio stations, people.....

i realize how beautifully bold and unique and - here’s my new favorite adjective - EMBOLDENING! - this patreon is. it makes me BOLD, these 15,000 people all giving me their money to make art and content that they believe (well, hopefully) believe in.

it’s fucking incredible, really. the more it grows the more bold and yet humbled i feel. thank you for being here. 

all of you.

this was one jam-packed month….almost no music writing, just infinite stage-expressing and a lot of activism…and a lot of work to get my podcast in gear…more on that below.

i’ve been criss-crossing this Great Nation (wait, what?) of ours in hopes that my particular brand of storytelling and musical howling will make a modicum of impact on the slow descent into the swamp of history. don’t ask me to make a metaphor that works. i’m tired.

wrapping up the THERE WILL BE NO INTERMISSION tour feels weirdly unfair. i want to do more, especially now that it feels like the show has found itself and i’m getting GOOD AT IT.

it took, oh, twenty performances, but i finally know what i’m doing with this thing.

and i feel like it’s the right time to be touring these stories around america.

and now i am taking it over to england and europe. and it’s like: they don’t need it quite as much. maybe they do. i dunno.

the message about truth and light and pain and fear, i mean, sure it’s universal.

but the abortion stuff? STOCKHOLM IS FINE. northern ireland, on the other hand…that’s gonna be a show worth filming (and i might use patreon money to do that).

i did film LA with a huge fancy crew, but i fear it wasn’t the best best performance of the tour. i think i might try to squeeze one last special show into the summer just so i can tape this fucker now that it’s fully baked. i don’t know guys. some day i’ll get this right.

after portland and a few podcast interviews (including storm large!! and erika moen!!) i’m going to head home and collapse for a bit of the summer. i’ve barely seen my kid and husband in a couple weeks. i really miss them. i’m gonna sleep in my own bed, stop eating so much bread, get my body back into shape, and think deeply about how i want to attack the tour in the fall.

sadly, a lot of the venues i’m playing have REALLY early curfews. there are towns where the show is going to have to be a mere 2.5 hours. literally half the length of the show if i add every bell and whistle. it’s gonna be a summer project to figure out what to leave in and what to take out.

for you europeans/UK: i hope you’re proud of whatever comes out the other end. i’m trying hard.

...........

WHAT HAPPENED THIS PAST MONTH...

it was may. 

while i toured, THINGS CAME OUT.

i put out a little film:

VOICEMAIL FOR JILL - behind the scenes of the music video documentary 

this documentary isn't just about the "filming"....it's about the art-feelings around abortion.

it's about something much more emotional. i hope you watch it - if you missed it, catch up here:
https://www.patreon.com/posts/abortion-shower-26862095

..........

i tried something new!!!!

i did a kind of diary-recording.....

A LEGITIMATE ADVENTURE IN D.C. with laurie penny

this is a long listen....about an hour. 

but it's REALLY REALLY GOOD.

it's funny, it's dark, it's thoughtful, it's political......we put a shit tone of time into editing it and making it listenable.

try it out:

....

this wasn't an art thing, but goddamn i'm proud of my husband, so i'm treating this like one of my own....the premiere and backstory about GOOD OMENS, neil's new TV show....

https://www.patreon.com/posts/carpet-of-eden-27213617

people are loving it and neil is so so so happy.

after years of working on it, it's as much a relief to me as it is to him to have it done.

we can kind of go back to being married now, hooray!

....and below are some more photos, group shots and other bits of info and happenings from the road.

SAN FRANCISCO

the day before my show in sf, i played an in-store at bandcamp's beautiful new brick n' mortar record store in oakland. their entire team was wonderful to all of us, and as i said in my love letter to bandcamp, they have helped empower me and so many other artists to stay independent in the last 10 years.

fuck yeah:

here's sarah at bandcamp and my tour manager chez showing off their cat tattoos on their hands.....

ANI TIMES!!!!

at each show i've been signing 10 copies of ani's new memoir, "No Walls and the Recurring Dream" as a benefit for the abortion care network.

sf was the first show i had them, and after sf, la, atlanta, nashville, st louis, kansas city and denver we raised $4,541.96 for them.

in st louis we had some books leftover after the show, and we gave them to planned parenthood st louis region for them to fundraise with, so even more good will come from this. thank you to everyone who has donated and bought a book, if you want to donate direct to ACN, you can do so on their website: http://abortioncarenetwork.org

here is our sf group photo, taken by hayley outside of city hall

LOS ANGELES

here is our group photo, taken by hayley at grand hope park....

HOW THE PATREON HAS GROWN....

this is the second Althings posted after the 1st of the month, when patreon bills credit cards. we usually see a couple hundred people drop off in the beginning of the month due to payment errors and credit card issues, it takes a few days for this to adjust once people fix their accounts. it's life.

as of this writing there are 15,120 patrons pledging  $57,469 for the first THING of the month. 

ROCK ON WAYNE.

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

patreon charges you "monthly"/"retroactively".....meaning that you get billed on the 1st of the month for all the Things released the month prior (for example, you were just charged for the Things released in april on may 1st). 

so i don't have the final figures for this month, as they're still being processed, but here's april:

(i say this every month, but if you're new....)

because people have their pledges capped (HAVE YOU NOT CAPPED YOUR PLEDGE? if you are on a budget, you should. here's the tutorial again), the first Thing raises the most money, and anything released thereafter raises less and less. (I LIKE THIS. it means i never feel too guilty!!!!!).

the numbers below are gross. not net. basic math. meaning: it's the money raised before fees were deducted by patreon and is not the total deposited to me. patreon takes a 5% fee (which they use to build and sustain the platform, which is GOOD) and then there's a payment processing fee, which varies on a ton of factors and is usually between 5-9% of the total collected. 

also, none of this reflects the money i SPENT MAKING THE ART, running my business, etc etc. 

i don't share that level of nitty-detail-stuff with you because i assume it would bore you to fucking tears. but you can trust me: paying for a full-time staff, office, manager, accountant, and massive team of art-collaborators ain't cheap. sometimes we barely break even. so be it. this is awesome.

......

just a reminder, i posted this last month but it's worth repeating:  patreon just introduced a new pricing and fee plan that took effect on may 7th, however all creators who've had accounts up until then are grandfathered into the old, original fee structure with the 5% patreon fee and the 5-9% credit card payment processing fee.

.....

in april, i Thanged three Things:

the "music + mental health" talk + Q&A at berklee, on film! {official thing} was the first Thing and it earned about $64,843 from 14,902 patrons.

a poem (+recording) for you, "Empathy is Nothing". {official thing} was the second Thing of the month and it earned about $31,009 from 9,327 patrons.

LET'S CROWD-EDIT A DOCUMENTARY! the footage from SXSW {official Thing} was the third and final Thing of the month and it earned about $21,261 from 6,466 patrons.

(we say "about" because patreon may be still trying to process some pledges that have yet to go through...we never know, you know.)

them's the numbers.

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

DISPATCHES FROM TEAM AFP!

from hayley....

I am not sure how each month gets busier than the last, but here we are at the end of May (well, the start of June), and WOW has this been a ride.

The biggest update I have to share is that Patreon wrote a blog based on the key takeaways they got from the workshop panel I did with Camille Hearst, Patreon's Head of Merch , Product last March at SXSW.

You can read the article here:
https://blog.patreon.com/make-your-music

and if you want to listen to the full audio recording of the panel, you can do that here:
https://schedule.sxsw.com/2019/events/PP93033


Most of the month had me bouncing around to help out with the tour, and it was exhausting and exciting and all the things. It was truly an honor to be the Patronator and meet so many of you. Lots of patrons came up to me and shared such kind words of gratitude and appreciation, and it made my heart swell.

In lieu of long text, here's a little photo diary from the tour :

This May, the tour brought me to cities I love visiting:

San Francisco and Oakland

....where I totally geeked out to the Bandcamp staff before the in store, because it was an honor to be there putting on this event. When I first started working with Amanda in 2009 we used Bandcamp exclusively, at the time it was one of the only, if not the only, tool we had direct creative control over, and it was the first platform that let us think outside the "music industry" box in how we released music, merch and art.

Amanda heard me geek out backstage and asked if I'd jump on stage to speak in front of the crowd when the event started. I said, "Sure." That was an honor for me. My friend Norah snapped this pic of me on stage:

Los Angeles

where I met Lauren's beautiful dog, Tycho. it was love at first sight. I haven't washed my cheek since (i kid, i kid).

And May also  brought me to many new cities that I haven't been to before:

Atlanta

I was not in town long but I got to stay with my friend Bethany and she helped us out a tonnnn at the Criminal Records in-store and show - like when she held my phone, while I was live streaming to facebook, so i could snap this silly picture of Amanda with my camera:

Nashville

I booked my flight in the evening the day after the show so I could see some part of the city. I went to lunch with my friend Emily and she took me on a pedestrian bridge to show my the skyline when it suddenly started to down pour without any warning. i got soaked head to toe, my duffle bag got soaked, I was happy I did not have Amanda's ukulele with me (THANKS AGAIN LAUREN)... on top of that, my flight was also delayed a bunch of times, so this was certainly an adventure.

St. Louis

at the last minute Amanda got an invite to speak at Planned Parenthood's emergency response rally in the morning before the show so we changed some things in her show-day calendar, and made sure she could be there. it was a total team operation. I feel so fortunate to have worked with Planned Parenthood affiliates on this tour, and proud of Amanda and the team for speaking up, lending our voices, and doing everything we can to support access to reproductive health services and education. It felt like we took a team field trip and I am glad we're the type of team that does this together.

i have a few pictures on instagram from the rally, here:
https://www.instagram.com/p/ByGT0zsl5y8/

Here's me and Michael getting sunburned:

Kansas City

When we arrived at the venue after driving for about 4.5 hours, I got the New York Times alert that a judge allowed the Planned Parenthood clinic in St. Louis to stay open while they continue to fight the state in court. This was a relief, the fight is still on, but it felt good to see Planned Parenthood win even a small victory for the people of Missouri.

Amanda popped out into the lobby after the show and snuck behind our Patronator table. Here she is with Michael and I, as we signed up new patrons (HI NEW PATRONS!) at the end of the night.

Denver

...was a dream. it was my last show working on the tour and the energy was great. We signed up the most patrons out of all the previous cities and sold out of the Ani books before intermission (we even sold the book Amanda had on stage to promote the fundraiser!).

This tweet sums it up quite well:

while working and traveling to shows, the AFP fort was held down, with so much happening all the time, it was nice to spend some time interacting with people in person, helping folks out IRL and helping Amanda and crew put on a killer show.

While we're out on the road we're still plugging away in AFP land, working on the patreon projects that are in production, working to execute and coordinate all the events that are happening on the side of the main tour show (like podcasts and in stores), and everything else: email blasts, photo archiving, press scheduling, THIS VERY ALTHING and so on.

I'm so proud to be part of the team, and so glad to help bring this album, this show, and this art into the world. Thanks, Amanda for bringing me along on this ride.


Love,
Hayley

from michael:

Hello Patrons!

I’m writing this post at the very last minute from a coffeeshop in Vancouver, BC, so my apologies in advance for the stream of conscious style writing . . .  

Another month on the books and what a great month it was.  I took most of the month off the road and handed the road-warrior baton over to Hayley and Whitney to rock the Patronator role in SF, LA, ATL, & Nashville so if you were planning on seeing me in any of those cities. . . sorry!  I stayed behind and held down the NYC office and while traveling can be hard, coordinating things from thousands of miles away can sometimes be even more challenging.  I’m definitely one of those people where if I’m not actively working on something I tend to worry that something will go wrong (running out of spoons, rabid raccoon, random typhoon, could be anything really).  So this month I had to really try to practice the art of letting things go and trusting that it will all be ok.  And all in all. . . it was.  I gotta say, I am so fortunate to work with such an amazing team.  We all work so hard to get it right and by and large, by supporting each other, backing each other up, and creating space for one another we always get the job done.  Podcasts were recorded and released, the shows were amazing, there was a full blown wedding complete with marching band and everyone was happy and more or less healthy by the end of it.  That’s a damn successful month in my opinion.

There were of course many many other things that went on this month, but I have to say a special thank you to Caitlin who not only was gracious enough to open her home to me for two nights in St. Louis, but brought be along to her and her husband’s game night and even created room for me to play.  It was a unique and wonderful experience and one of those moments on the road that makes me so grateful to this amazing community.  You all rock.  She also recommended perhaps one of the best coffee shops that I’ve ever been in – Shameless Grounds in St. Louis.  A sex positive space that holds workshops, meetups, has a human sexuality lending library and a delicious collection of pictures, bondage dolls, and plaster casts of vulvae.  All with. . . NO SHAME!  I want there to be inclusive spaces like that in every damn city around the globe, but I’m really happy that there’s at least one in St. Louis.  Here are some cool pictures!

That’s about it for me for May, I’ve got to get ready for a run of 4 shows in the PNW (which I love so much and will wax poetic about in next month’s Althing!)

Cheers!!
