hallo loves

i hope you’ve recovered from the shock (or thrill) of seeing me and jason webley‘s bums this morning. 

it really did rain yesterday in woodstock. i swear. 

its my last night at home until april. 

i tour the UK and europe until christmas, and then we go to australia and new zealand. 

i won‘t see my bedroom for seven months or so. 

it used to feel thrilling. 

nowadays it just feels kinda tiring. seven months is a long time to live out of a suitcase. 

but i will get to see you. and talk to you. and sing for you. and do things with you - all you people over there across the big pond. 

i’m homesick but i’m happy. 

leaving the house is always hard. which objects to come on this seven-month journey? i better like this underwear. i will be recycling the same 10 pairs of underwear so often for the next seven months. 

but i have become an expert in this art of leaving

of un-attaching 

to attach 

to something else 

someone else 

something bigger. 

i love you all a lot. 

thanks for making this all a lot easier and less scary by being my patrons. it’s less lonely than it used to be 

really. it is.

PDX: putting self out there; moving to a better pad for Nicholas, to make more art & yoga in 2 months — working on updating my website portfolio. Love you, Amanda — this was the best post. Good luck, star friend kindred. ✨

Amanda, do you think when you get back from Tour or while you’re doing some of the tour, could write ‘How to do/build a Patreon’ handbook? Kinda like a ted-talk, but just a small handbook to share/teach artists to make real money, but still be authentic and real to themselves? I’m sure Neil might be playful on it, too. & Jason Webley could play and add thoughts — and the mime friends or any of your neato friends would probably give you shares in your hat? 🎩 Okay, just an idea to get you through the 7 months 💡? ✨✨✨🔮🐾🧩🌏

Also - I am so new to patreon - I ended up back on the main page for awhile, and saw where you mentioned doing something very special when there are 50 k of us supporting you.

Zoops. Forgot that hitting ENTER makes a whole neew comment. Anyway, when you said it might be something based on Goodnight Moon, and would be (like) a prayer, I immediately teared up. There is something so deep and sweetly dark and good in that book. I think of you and Ash. My former 4 year old just turned 25. He turned me onto you as Dresden Dolls when he was in middle school, and I returned the favor by bringing him with me when you played Seattle June 8th. Life is meant to be this way- so connected. Good night noises everywhere ( untill it's time for us to wake up and make some) Love to you and all.
