IT'S THE LAST DAY. we are streaming tonight! lots of info, say hi + last nights group photos! (Patreon)

(public post)  

hallo loves

if you were at the london show last night - the patron photo (and shintaido photo!) is below...and feel free to use this post as a virtual check-in with me, each other, all that. we are running around at 2736 miles an hour right now, but i'll be reading comments tomorrow.

and....what a show. a post-election london, a holy church venue, drooping mic stands, and 1,600 people from this community tuning in from all over the world. i got home around 1 am and took a bath. then cuddled into bed with neil and ash and awoke to the sounds of porridge and tea being made. i got a thai massage. my head is dead. we just got out of a production meeting and against all odds, it sounds like everything went off without a hitch last night. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE??? WEBCASTS ARE NEVER THIS EASY. maybe we are finally learning how to do this shit. 

i cannot thank you all enough for being with me last night, whether it was in the flesh or via the magical internet. we are loading in and about to DO IT ALL AGAIN tonight. join again, pop by, and if you know anyone who may wanna see the show, nows a good time to poke them to join the patreon. you were all charged yesterday so tonight’s is technically a freebie. anyone is free to game the system and join just to peek and then flee. you know me. whatever.

taking a look at the backend of our crowdcast stream, we had over 1,600 (!!!) patrons tune in from literally all over the world. here's a map that shows where you were watching from.....

as a reminder,  you can watch the archive of yesterday's livestream here: FRIDAY's broadcast.

i'll keep the archive up for a little while (we'll see). after we stream tonight's show, we're working on releasing a final version to share with you to watch at your leisure, which will also include some extra footage we're recording on site that isn't on the live stream (like behind the scenes footage of me and the crew putting the show and the webcast together and an interview about these shows and the tour).

we Thinged yesterday's livestream to cover the costs for both nights, so you won't be charged for tonight's stream.  tell your friends to join and share the link. the stream is for patrons only but you can join for $1 a month and decide to bounce before you're ever charged, i won't mind if you game the system here. OKAY? okay. you never know who's gonna come over and stick around.

friday's shintaido group! 

and our patron photo after last nights show. if you're coming tonight, stick around after the show and head to the front of the stage and i'll come out for our group photo. we have a curfew so we can't stay and hang out in the venue area.

now, just like yesterday, we're live streaming the entire show tonight for patrons only. here's the details again to get ready.....

SOME INFORMATION ABOUT TONIGHT'S WEBCAST:

we'll be putting the stream on at 6:15pm GMT london time (find your timezone here), the concert itself will start promptly at 6:30pm and we'll broadcast until about 10:30pm.  

in the 15 minutes before the concert starts, we'll have a special GUEST STREAM HOST in front of the camera interviewing patrons and hosting the evening for you. meet cal, our hype queen and hostess. cal and i collided in edinburgh a few months ago and became fast friends; she's a scientist, musician and trans-activist and an all-round amazing person. (here’s a link to cal’s music). she'll also be interviewing patrons during the 20 minute intermission so there will be continuous footage for your viewing pleasure, even when i'm off stage.  

here's cal last night with daniella, talking about The Margins Project and the great work that they do. that's hayley off to the side reading the webcast chat stream on her phone. you can ask cal a question by using the ASK A QUESTION button on crowdcast while we're live. hayley will answer questions in the chat and cal will chat on camera during intermission.
