hallo loves....

a very quick one!

well, my frozen elsa cape sure is coming in handy this week. this little video iembedded here is the same one i just uploaded to the CAMEO app.

you can now book ME, to make YOU (or a friend or loved one) a private, personal video.


here's the link: http://cameo.com/theamandapalmer

it's $250 and all the money is going to defeat trump.

why? 

well....after years of saying "no" to joining cameo (and it was hard, because i have an old friend who works there in the music dept), i’ve just changed my mind....and joined the growing list of artists who’ve jumped aboard the cameo bandwagon for one reason: to help inject funds into the biden/harris campaign and ensure a historic landslide. 

this is one of the most effective ways i can think of right now to raise as much money as possible.

so....i'm selling a limited number of these personalized video messages (probably no more than 30, because i'm a busy goddam mom and i want these to be GOOD) on cameo for $250 each, and all of the money is going straight to fund the biden/harris campaign.

wait, why....?

because. trump. must. go.

please....everyone in america....

VOTE.

and if you've been on the fence about sending any money into help prop up the most important election of our times....i'm here to give you a reason/excuse.

.......


if you’ve never used cameo, it’s super simple:

it’s an app through which you purchase a private video from an artist/comedian/athlete/celeb.

they can cost as little as $10 and as much as $1,000. there are all sorts of weirdos using it, from my pal brian viglione, to snoop dogg, to charlie sheen (?!eek), and alyssa milano (who is also sending 100% of her profit to the biden campaign).

the app looks like this:


........


the video message can be for YOU or....for anyone you want.

you can name the person, say a few words, give me some direction about what you'd like. i then make the video (within a few days) for you and the app sends it through to you, and an email or text notifies you. TA DA.

it's very fun.

some ideas:

-send a video as a surprise to a friend who's a fan and feeling down....

-buy a loving message from me for your favorite amanda palmer HATER!

-give someone a birthday song from me! (ukulele! piano! you tell me!)....

-get some early christmas shopping done and BUY THEM AN AMANDA PALMER video.

-send me a poem or quote (not a long one, include a link or title so i can google) and i'll read it!... 

-ask me to play a verse of a favorite song just for you....

-give someone a miscarriage or abortion get well message!

-if you have an amanda palmer fan in your life, buy them a video now and save it for a birthday, anniversary or christmas. there are no rules about how far ahead you can think....

obviously, you can get REAL CREATIVE with this.

OK

i'm down.

let's do it.

let's raise some money.

let's get the orange man out of office.

READY? GO.

again, you gotta get the app, and then you can search me. direct link to book is here: http://cameo.com/theamandapalmer

Can non-US citizens also contribute?

This is amazing Amanda! Question: how long are the videos? After the fires here in Oregon, I took "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" from Cabaret and rewrote it "Yesterday Belongs to Them" (because stupid modern nazis now appropriate this song and I don't want to let them have it.) How much of this could you record for a Cameo video, and would that fall within the boundary of Things You Are Willing to Record? Would I be able to share a Cameo Video FAR and WIDE? Thank you! The smoke in the forest is stifling warm, The trees all blackened to the stem, Now gather together, after the storm, Yesterday belongs to them The branch of the linden is burnt and charred, The dove lost amid grim mayhem But now we can start back from their graveyard Yesterday belongs to them. People in the town streets are not blind as before Dead leaves cling to trees in autumn But now says a whisper, "No more, no more." Yesterday belongs to them. Now brotherhood, sisterhood, show them our sign: Peace we will make, tyrants condemn The morning has come And it doesn't cry "MINE!" Yesterday belongs to them.

oh that’s PERFECT!!! yes - i can do that. if there’s not enough text to paste into the cameo request, just remind me that you’re audrey from patreon and i’ll float back here to grab the lyrics. I LOVE THIS. and yes - you can share the video anywhere you wanna.

This is awesome and I am LOVING the Elsa cape. I can think of so many friends and occasions for which I would need to send an AFP video, but I only have so many $250s to throw around. But what a great cause. Thanks for looking out for us from the other side of the world.

Yes, it's pretty fun, you should definitely keep it up. I think this is a great idea to support Biden and his campaign! Fun video, Amanda!

Nikki Mierjeski

Thank you for helping fundraise! Just dropped my ballot off today for Biden.

Erin

Request and PM over Patreon sent! I love that you find ways to double give!! To a good cause AND to your fans. Seriously, you're just the fucking best.

Hey Audrey - if you can’t afford the $250 for this then I’d be happy to contribute. Would $50 help? Your lyrics are great and it’s for a great cause! Let me know?

Dear AFP, this is so very cool, and I just made my request. If I may elaborate on the details of my video? (I wanted more space to converse on the Cameo request page!) The video is for my daughter who made me a fan several years ago when she handed me your book, "Art of Asking." She recently complete her Master of Library Science degree and landed a plum job in Tillamook, Oregon. Your video is a perfect "congratulations" gift. Along with the excerpt from "Judy Blume" (that I requested for the video), please share your love of books and reading and laud her with praise. Thank you so very much, dear AFP!!

Oh my goodness, Abigail, that is so kind of you to offer. I already bought it, but I'll be honest... I don't know how I'm going to finagle my budget this month now. If you were willing to bump me *whatever* you wanted to support the lyrics, I would be so grateful. You can find me on paypal at ajoygreathouse@gmail.com .

It is amazing that you are doing this to encourage our donations. I just saw the video you made for my request and it was so wonderful. Everything about this has made me so deeply hopeful. It feels absolutely amazing to have a personal video from you and to also contribute to Biden Harris is one continuous cycle of happiness! Thank you AFP.

I was going to sign for a Cameo today, but it seems to be unavailable at the moment. Did I miss my window of opportunity?
