a quick note post-proms bowie (Patreon)

hello loves....

first quick: the dresden dolls warm-up show is SOLD OUT! it sold out within a day of going on sale, and i'm so so excited. i hope i hug a shit ton of you there.

i have a lot to catch you up on but i'm exhausted from yesterday at the proms, WHICH WAS JUST EPIC. the BBC made a little 3-minute highlight reel and you can also watch the ENTIRE show here...go feast your ears and eyes:

i'm on four songs..."station to station" at the beginning with neil hannon from the divine comedy and connor o'brian from villagers (i tried to learn it the day before, so, not the strongest performance there, whatever) then in the middle i duet with anna calvi on "black star" - the highlight of the night for me, then i rip out a "heroes, then i'm back on stage at the very end for a singalong with marc almond (from soft cell!!!!), "after all". ash had just woken up so we brought him on stage, why not. he loved it. he kept trying to grab the microphone.  royal albert hall debut at 10 months. WHERE DO YOU GO FROM THERE, honestly?

and....you've got a Thor Thing (i've been calling it a Very Thpecial Thor Thong. and in my head, it's a sonic postcard.) hold tight, coming in a moment. performance-wise, it came out wonderfully. i was scared to listen for fear it didn't work. 

and....i love you.

thank you for patronizing me.

more soon.

tired amanda

oh p.s. i bought a pair of ridiculous darth vader platform high heels for the bowie show and wore them for "station to station" and am going to auction them off to charity. stay tuned.
