WELLINGTON, well...there will be an intermission. (Patreon)

{public post}

my loves 

well, it looks like there will be an intermission after all. 

WELLINGTON - i am so very sorry but yeah...

it hasn’t been mandated by the government, so i will be taking the financial hit, but i think given the recent developments here it is the safest thing to cancel tonight’s gig (3/16) at st. peter’s.

 it was a hard decision to make and the venue wanted to go ahead, but really, it feels like the lines have to get drawn, especially given the news that someone flew from brisbane to wellington over the weekend, went to a cafe, etc, and tested positive. who knows, now. let’s be safe. 

every ticket holder was emailed refund info. 

in good news: neil and i are stuck here for who knows how long, he and ash made it over here yesterday. 

my family is together. this is the best. 

and i am almost positive we will find a way to do a wellington gig here before leaving, when the smoke clears. or maybe we will just move here for a while. it’s real nice, and we love you kiwis so much. 

meanwhile: i am doing a FREE GLOBAL WEBCAST tonight at 7pm (wellington time) in lieu of tonight’s cancelled gig. come. it will be free to the public and neil will pop in and read, maybe ash will do a zombie puppet show, i will play & we will talk about everything.

this was supposed to be the last show of my global tour. i lucked out. so many of my friends were not this lucky. i am canceling one show. that’s almost nothing. 

everyone on earth: please be kind and gentle and understanding to all the artists, crew, freelancers and venues right now, all of whom are seriously scared and in freefall and making impossible decisions. do not yell, judge, blame. this is not what we need. advise, sure. gently.

last but not least: there are a billion ways to help artists and freelancers right now and a billion sites cropping up. i am working hard with thiannon giddens’’ team, my team and the team at Patreon to help create a hub and structure. if you want to get involved, stay tuned....it’s all happening very fast. 

we are gonna get through this.

 the internet - may it stay stable - is going to be an INVALUABLE tool to help creatives/artists/freelancers regain their footing. we will figure it out. we have the technology. let’s use it for good for once, people. 

FOR NOW, the best thing you can do is to donate any cancled gig money onto the venues and artists who need it. give to your freaked out friends and local freelancers. if you have an artist who is crowdfunding / has a patreon...GIVE. 

this is a time to be generous and band together on the net, and to use everything we have learned to help each other. 

love from aotearoa, and much more to come. 

there’s a lot of work to do. 

♥️🙏🏼♥️
