Amanda Palmer inspires me by being so amazingly open and raw towards the human race. She has an beautiful ability to make pour herself out through her music, her blogs, even the way she dresses. I have an infinite amount of respect for her.
Just after the Dresden Dolls played at the edinburgh fringe they played with Future Cinema. While I was handing in my stuff at the cloakroom Amanda comes swaning through the front door looking amazing says hi to some people and then comes over. My boyfriend asked her to sign his piano book and chatted to us for 10 seconds or so. Great moment. I love her.
I finally met the love of my life when I went backstage after her performance with Sxip Shirley at Joe’s Pub a month ago.
I strode over to her, and immediately when she saw me, she stroked my hair and said, “You’re beautiful, I love your hair..” (I’ve got blue and hot pink hair), signed a huge lovely heart and the words LOVE on a cloth napkin I stole from Joe’s Pub, two small papers, and the back pocket of the jeans I was wearing. I asked her for advice for an aspiring singer/performer, and she told me “First of all, you DON’T look as stupid as you think you look. You’ve got to go out there and FAIL. THROW yourself out there emotionally and completely, and fail, fail fail. The more you put yourself out there and fail, the more you know you’re really getting somewhere.”
Then I hugged her.
Amazing moment
I was at the Onion Cellar, sitting at table 27, center front row.
During the encore, she and Brian Viglione were talking about penguin suits and I cheered very loudly (I used to have a penguin suit that I wore a lot.)
She looked at me and started talking about penguins and respective suits.
I almost fainted.
