headcount, please!...for live-stream (in about 7 hrs) & the hawkes bay & auckland NZ patron parties (Patreon)

hello loves.

just a quickie poll, for those of you around the globe AND those of you in hawkes bay and auckland (thank go we stayed at level 1, eh?).

big show day. 

i woke up with a head full of questions and little stories from the long-ago coming to derail me. then i went through the lyrics of all the new material in my hand. i feel like tonight’s show - and the stream - is going to change something. connect something. move something. i don’t know what, exactly. i am still drowning in the odd reality that i get to perform on a real stage to hundreds of real people, and most of my friends do not get to do that. 

i’m trying to figure out how to feel that.....the right way. 

i’m trying to make sure my new community likes me and knows who i really am. i’ll be in an opera house from 1915 with all the local ghosts that i am just starting to understand. i will wake up, make ash breakfast, make mama coffee, read us some books, take him to the library and maybe we will use the net the stream and try to catch some fish, as promised. i have call time at the theater at noon for meetings and tech. noni is going to watch ash all day but he’ll be able to play at the theater since there’s so much space. the audience arrives at 6 pm. 

the stream goes live at 6:30....show starts at 7pm.....i hope you're all in there and chatting away with each other.

i suppose i’ll think all day about what i am going to say. everything feels so strange right now. this morning, i am most grateful to my patrons, who keep supporting me and my art through thick and thin. because of those 14k people and their contributions, i’m able to do a huge project like this and make it free to the world. i never take it for granted. well, that’s a lie. maybe i do take it for granted. but maybe sometimes that’s what they need me to do so that i can spend the day thinking about art instead of how this goddamn stream is going to capture viewers and make a profit. it doesn’t need to. 

it’s already in the black!!!!

THIS IS SO AWESOME.

so, in order of need.....

1) the STREAM IS IN ABOUT 7 HOURS!!! TELL EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD!

this show is going to be EPIC HISTORIC AMAZING

you can watch it on crowdcast (recommended), but you can also watch on youtube and FB, and you can do me a solid by spreading the links around so people everywhere find out about this FREE event, thanks to patreon.

i cannot wait to see you all there online in a few hours.

a couple housekeeping notes: HAYLEY, who usually mans the audience side of the stream, is very likely going to be ASLEEP during the show, because new york atime change. my local pal RACHEL (aka @rahera_k on twitter and IG) is going to be manning the decks! if you want to help us spread the love, grab screenshots from the feed and tweet them at me, she'll be running @amandapalmer while i'm on stage. you can tag me in IG, too, and she'll see and spread anything that's good!!! GO NUTS!!! i really want to get the word out to the world about this show. it's going to be so magnificent.

the stream starts at 6:30 with ROSHEEN AND SOPHIE and they are going to entertain the fuck out of you!!!! 

everyone here locally is so excited. i cannot wait.
