What an amazing blend of the old world and the new! I must admit I was brought to tears when I watched "Sing". I have watched the video and live versions, and was brought to tears before. But, this time, it was different. I am so very grateful for what you and Brian are doing. Thank you for raising the vibration and the consciousness of the planet. You are helping to bring about a major shift in consciousness through love and light and music! I wish I could explain to you how thankful I am.

What I am doing seems like it's pointless and I should just give up and let other people do this stuff, it would be so much easier to chuck it all in and... cut grass all day long. <BR/>But then what would we have created - nothing! <BR/>Would we have changed the world or anyone in any way - no!<BR/>Would it fulfill us - noway!<BR/>So is the effort worth it - of course it is! <BR/>It's difficult because it's important and worth doing. Our ideas need to be out there.

(I'm a professional, <I>uncertified</I> geek) Your mistake, as you now know all too well, was not to back up your work. Burn CDs, get an external hard drive, a bunch of flash drives, whatever. Redundancy is the KEY. Don't put all your eggs in one basket deary. <BR/><BR/>Bring your Mac up to my house in NH, go for a bike ride with me, and I'll see what I can do to recover your hard drive, if it's possible. OK, no time for a bike ride? Just send the computer. I'll see what I can do.<BR/><BR/>Mad props on your Pops gig! What I love best about your work is your fearlessness and variety and your sheer creative force. Your nervous laughter in that video is also extremely cute! Such a Doll you are!<BR/><BR/>Write new songs if and when they come to you. Sure you have time. But you're an artist, and you should be able to recognize the muse when she appears. Surely there are many more songs inside Amanda Palmer?? If not then that's OK too.

The humiliation people feel when a team, they feel represents them as a people, loses. For that, I envy them as well. The focal point, the conviction and faith they invest is impressive, yet the placement of said energy is, in my opinion, questionable.<BR/><BR/>ABC Africa is a documentary worth watching. Made in 2001, interesting filmaking, it's as though you are provided a scrapbook to look through, though instead of images you are given video clips.

Here’s the thing. <BR/>My friend and I happened to be in Westport when you played in KC last month, we’re both fairly recent, but HUGE, fans of the Dresden Dolls. We had no idea you were in town until I happened to notice someone’s car in front of your bus had The Dresden Dolls written on it’s window. I freaked. I’m usually known as the collected one, but you guys are literally one of the maybe 2 or 3 acts that I’ve been dying to see. I was terrified that it would be sold out, but the fates aligned and my mind was blown…continues to be blown…Wow.<BR/>In true fashion I went home and discovered your blog, whose archives I have been slowly devouring for the last month or so, making me feel like a real creeper, let me tell you. And I have to say thank you. It was better than any autobiography or biography I have ever read. Real. Immediate. Often completely random. And always amazing.<BR/>-<BR/>Punk Cabaret IS Freedom<BR/>-<BR/>And by complete coincidence, I was watching Mirrormask when I read your latest entry.
