I’ve been an avid listener of yours since hearing an NPR interview with you back in the mid-2000's. This was the first time that my wife and I have been able to see you in concert, however, and—as expected—you blew our minds. You are a true artist, a true performer, a true lyricist, a true inspiration. You’re just true. You open yourself up in such a way that strengthens those around you. Thank you for who you are, for doing what you do, and for empowering other people to be better. By the way . . . pre-show, you complimented me on my shirt and—being off in my own little world—I didn’t even notice. I had to be told after the fact what had happened. So here’s a belated thank you!

as expected, my first time seeing you live was amazing and heartbreaking and profound. i cried through most of the show and felt weird about it til intermission, when i saw a few fellow red-eyed folk and offered small commiserating smiles... i so appreciate you sharing so much of yourself with your fans, and you and all your staff and crew for making it possible. i hope someday to entice you to come visit the feminist ecovillage i live in (dancing rabbit, in NE MO) - i think you’d find it interesting, maybe even inspiring, and i’d love for my community-mates to have the chance to get to know you and your work. my heart says thank you, for all of it. &lt;3

Dear Amanda, just as promised after you hugged me in the Patreon I've signed up and pledged. Thank you for coming to our dark city, KC. Your music has always been an amazing catharsis since your Dresden dolls days. It was amazing journey to follow and just let go. I've never been to show where the performer moves so casually among friends that I initially someone was just wearing some amazing cosplay. Thank you again

I was too sad today and listened to coin operated boy it helped a little. Thank you for everything you do and I fucking love you too.

We traveled from Arkansas with our teenage daughters to see you last night - Thank you so much from all of us for a wonderful show and for all that you do. I feel compelled and inspired by your performance, and I do hope that there is some way that our gratitude can help refill your well as you filled mine. With love, a couple of Sarahs and family.

Thank you so much for your storytelling.

I’m late. But hi, Amanda. I first met you almost 15 years ago. We came up with this Mandy Goes To Med School brigade idea. I found a slutty nurse outfit, tore apart so many dolls, and made cupcakes with doll parts stuck in them (funniest part was that you couldn’t eat one bc you were vegan). I did this act before so many dolls shows. I travelled. And now it means so much more. I bought myself a cake after my abortion. Damnit i wish you were still in kc. Fuck, i love you.

Hi Amanda!! Sorry to be late to the signing line. Hope you still see this. ‘Twas my hubs and I first time seeing you live!! It’s been hard to figure out how to sum up an experience it feels I’ve been waiting so long for. I wish I had the use of my voice and body when you zoomed right by me on the balcony but I was, well, Frozen, heh. Star struck to say the least. I wanted to hug you so hard and tell you I love you so so much, how proud I am of you/us, and show you the Fix Yer Shit ‘Postcard in the Mail’ from way back-2017 that got me into this amazing Patreon Family and from fan to super fan. Still Art In The Mail to this day and thank you for creating that tier (was webchat previously-and almost got to chat with you live last fall but my laptop wasn’t supported, oopsies, another almost opportunity). I love that you are a vessel for Art in it’s many beautiful layers and formats and connections. Big enormous shoutout and so much love to @hayleyfiasco for letting me fan girl all over you, and about Amanda at the Patron table and for asking to take a pic of me and said postcard. So thoughtful and made me feel all the love. It meant so much that you seemed as excited as I was. I’ve been wanting to meet you Hayley for so long as well and you are so gracious and kind. You and Michael rock!! The show......wow. That was me at the top shreaking “Thank you for marching! I love you!” And you were like what? Oh your welcome! It just came right out, so in a way I still said/screamed what I was burning to say, heehee. Sorry to the ears of those in front of me as I may have done a lot of screaming and singing and laughing and crying out loud. However, it was so extremely cathartic and everything I didn’t know I needed. I was feeling glum about show length and jealous of other shows to be honest, but quickly snapped the fuck out of that. We’re SO LUCKY to have had you at all!!! Thank you for coming to Kansas City! There may not have been the same time/curfew but goddamn there was intimacy and intensity distilled down into a much more potent brew if that makes sense. I feel I got lost in time anyways and still saw the most important and powerful show I’ve ever been to. I adore your storytelling. You are so honest, open, conversational with the audience, and so fucking funny. All the feelings were felt. I love the nod to Tori before you walked out, and Neil’s amazing opening/announcement was brilliant! (Tori led me to learning about Neil, and Neil about you. It’s lovely and connects some dots.) The show was everything I hoped for and so much more. Please come back though after Europe if you can. I’d love to still hug you in person!!! I love you so much!! Thank you for continuing to cast nets, tighten the knots, and connect the dots. I made friends and connected with a lovely girl and her wife thanks to your nudge to meet a stranger at intermission. I have learned and continue to learn so much and about so many other artists through you. It’s beautiful. I was able to share my teary, heartfelt abortion story with the lovely Planned Parenthood. All the boxes have been checked. It feels wonderful. I miss you so much already! I wanna stay on this amazing Ride with you and I shall. Thank you!!! Xoxoxo

Amanda, Thank you for letting me sing "At least the baby didn't die." I needed to do it. "A Mother's Confession" is the song that made me decide to drive 5 hours (from Oklahoma City) to see you. I had severe postpartum depression, anxiety, and OCD. I was hospitalized for a week with "intrusive thoughts" toward my baby. He's a few months younger than Ash. I still panic when he cries sometimes and ask myself "what kind of mother am I?" Curfew makes me sad!! I wish we could have continued the journey with you. It felt like such an abrupt ending. But thank you so much for your vulnerability on stage. You are brave and make me want to be braver.
