hallo loves...

greetings from hastings, aotearoa new zealand....where i'm finding my footing once again after taking xanthea and ash on a nerly two-week road trip where i tried NOT TO WORK. i was mostly successful. i'm buried in unanswered things, and not too stressed about that, and figured i'd record you a little stream-of-consciousness voice-ramble while i buckle down and start working on the Althing and the many other Things...

it's embedded here, and also here on soundcloud (and i enabled download permissions):

quick news: WELLINGTON, and HAWKES BAY, i'm about to put two shows on sale, one make-up show in the same church i was supposed to perform in in downtown wellington (august 29th), and one new show in the beautiful hawkes bay opera house (sept 11). tickets for wellington will go onsale to ORIGINAL TICKET HOLDERS ONLY first, then to patrons, then to the public. tickets for hawkes bay will go on sale to patrons only first, then to the public. stay alert.

meanwhile...if you want to see what i got up to over the last two weeks...i posted photos to instagram nearly every day....make sure you're following me over here @amandapalmer...and i'm trying to post more to the forum.

here's a little new forum discussion i just started about a sad subject....deaths from covid. this was based on a post made by my old friend, emilym brodsky, about her dad dying very suddenly from covid, and how the system failed her family. 

it seemed like a good way to start the hard and difficult discussion about the people we've lost, whether the death was direct or indirect. if you've lost someone to covid, please feel free to share your feelings over here: 

https://forum.theshadowbox.net/t/covid-deaths-please-share/4254

i'll be reading and posting there.

....and meanwhile....i love all of you, i hope you're all hanging in there.....and i'll be writing and sharing a lot more here over the next few days and weeks.

it's been strange times, all around.

how are you all ... doing?

i'll be reading and responding to comments all night.

Thank you for these open, sincere ramblings ❤️ My 89 years old grandmother passed away yesterday. Nothing to do with covid but I haven't met her for a long time due restrictions and even before that as we live a long way apart. But she could live in her own home her whole life and wasn't in a hospital more than day so I'm grateful for that and the relatives and professional help that made it possible. Meet your loved ones if you can ❤️ these are strange times and if you can, you must is a good advice.

Oh man I've not been able to get used to celcius either, I've been in Japan 5 years and it's still so weird! Can't fathom how to convert it, my brain just always thinks "cold" because the numbers are so low and I have to set my A/C / heater units in celcius every day, STILL I don't get it. And not only do I still occasionally go to the wrong side of the car, but also on the rare occasion I hit the blinker/turn signal instead of the windshield wiper and vice versa haha. So happy to hear you and Ash are getting quality time, that's so awesome! Happy to be there for you in this format after your work has been there for me so much in my life. Love the rambles!

I feel pretty overwhelmed lately, which explained the fact it took me a few days to read this post :-/ I wish I could be in one of your shows and just close my eyes and listen. But I live in Christchurch. All the love Amanda, all the love.
