various and sundry love from banff, and SUPERKATE needs a place in london! (Patreon)

(patron-only post)

hello loves

i'm in banff, canada, for a conference called TEDsummit...mixing my little brain with the brains of scientists, archeologists, tech nerds, musicians, and trying to figure out my little place in the big universe....and the clear and icy-fresh mountain air.   it's SO GODDAM beautiful here, holy shit. i'm juggling deep brain exercises (this morning i attended a discussion about the future of ectogenesis and the ethics of creating babies outside of human beings).... and playing with a baby on the forest floor and it is, indeed, a perfect mish-mash. TED paid my way here because i'm on the braintrust, and my wonderful friend fiona from nearby vancouver is along for the ride to help take care of little anthony. 

a few things to catch you up on:

STEREOGUM premieres me and jack singing "glacier" by john grant from koko in london. it's beautiful footage! go look:

......

i posted another spontaneous poem video, this time of a stupid-fun POEM I WROTE, live from the bathroom of the toronto airport. i then had to defend my right to allow my child to crawl around on a bathroom floor to the aghast. oh my god, if these people could see where this baby crawls...he's been on floors ten times dirtier than this. and he's great. beside the point: ENJOY THE POEM...

also in the slight kerfuffle department...this guy i know, ian, sent me this article on medium, about the sad disintegration of his relationship, and it angered a lot of people. read the whole kerfuffle here. i think it's a great piece, honestly. not enough men write about miscarriage and these sorts of subjects and whether or not you agree with his choices...it's a nice emo read:

also...

SUPERKATE, my wonderful assistant, managress & woman-of-all-works, is considering coming to london for the proms (around july 25-aug 1 ). i already have a place to stay in camden in somebody's tiny guest-room (i'll be with the baby) but she is looking for a PLACE TO STAY - can anyone in london put her up? as long as she has her own room or a basically private space she'll be thrilled. email: superkate@amandapalmer.net. if you can put her up, she'll crack your back, and we'll try to get you tickets to the london warm up show we're doing (venue not announced, but it's on the 26th!)

all for now
