Seeing these tour pics I wanted to ask you if you're interested in getting some high-res-versions of mine, because I think they're better in terms of quality. Don't want no money or anything ;). Here's a sample, not even retouched in photoshop: www.raventhird.de/files/palmer_logo.jpg<BR/><BR/>Drop me a note, mail or something and I can zip and up the photos somewhere for you :).<BR/><BR/>Sebastian Baumerinfinitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235057671360204908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-78789460860246997062008-09-01T09:53:00.000-04:002008-09-01T09:53:00.000-04:00Hi Amanda,This has surfaced on youtube: http://www...Hi Amanda,<BR/><BR/>This has surfaced on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guS1B0qy22c<BR/><BR/>You and your dad at Troubador. not great picture butgood sound.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for a day of fun and cake in all sorts of places yesterday xxxDitaDoll79https://www.blogger.com/profile/02800997387002949264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-12335883097941886562008-08-27T14:07:00.000-04:002008-08-27T14:07:00.000-04:00The photo collage is great!I'm sorry you lost your...The photo collage is great!<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry you lost your favorite coat. I totally understand how that feels. I travel a lot as well, because of my work and I've left pieces of me all over the world. The worst moment had to be when I realized I'd left my coveted Doc Marten boots someplace. I'd had them for like a decade. I was crushed. Thankfully someone located them and returned them to me 6 months later! Yeah!<BR/><BR/>I have to say though, the pony sweater was a good score! <BR/><BR/>I really enjoy your blog. You always seem to write from your heart. Its refreshing to see in this day and age of plastic people who are always hiding what they really feel. :)Russtyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09242063771881415169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-25311371050609681412008-08-24T23:10:00.000-04:002008-08-24T23:10:00.000-04:00I'm sad you don't seem to have pictures of the sho...I'm sad you don't seem to have pictures of the show in Toronto.

I can't tell you how many blue sweatshirts or fall-type coats I've lost!<BR/><BR/>More frequently I've been losing data on my computer. It's what happens when I save stuff on the desktop, then I think I've copied it somewhere else and then delete it... Once I also kept my most up to date files on a flash drive... and then lost the flash drive.<BR/><BR/>That's awesome about the Apple Store people. I've heard it's hit or miss when you want to get stuff replaced not under warranty. I suppose it helps when you're an international performing artist. ;)<BR/><BR/>I did laugh a bit at your picture with the email in the back and all the folders on the left. I used to think I had a lot of folders, but it's nothing compared to yours!<BR/><BR/>Also glad to hear that Emily White is back with you again.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15031549233834303453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-53685222312481698612008-08-23T08:40:00.000-04:002008-08-23T08:40:00.000-04:00I am sad about your stuff!

Maybe you should keep all the small things you love and really really don't want to lose in some kind of small bag that you could easily carry around with you. Just don't lose the bag. Eh, but I'm sure you've thought of this. Hope you find something that works.<BR/><BR/>I just got a new laptop. On Sunday. Actually it's my first laptop. Toshiba. Can't afford the Mac but they look really nifty.<BR/><BR/>I really have alot to say but I'm getting ready to go out of town for the weekend for a friend's birthday. Packing and all that shit is taking up my time. Waiting on the laundry right now. I'm in charge of making sandwiches. I think I'm going to cut up some gouda cheese and bring that too. Love that stuff. Anyways, I'll be listening to you on the trip down and back and probably inbetween. My laptop isn't hooked up to wireless yet so it gets to stay.<BR/><BR/>Keep on keeping the art rock love alive.<BR/><BR/>All my love,<BR/><BR/>Andrea <BR/>(Sue Majeski) <BR/>(just felt like adding my whole name, don't really like the middle....and I'm done)andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07913929047899255513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-48209427742356182402008-08-22T00:25:00.000-04:002008-08-22T00:25:00.000-04:00Well..I've read other people on your message board...Well..I've read other people on your message board make comments similar to the one I'm about to make, so, I'm not too worried about sounding too out-of-line here.<BR/><BR/>Alright.<BR/><BR/>In just shy over two weeks since I got to see your solo in SF, you've gone across the country, ending in one amazing art fest in NY only to hop over to Europe and play downright bad-ass festivals over there. What has my ass done? Worked on moving four hours south to something, better, but still up here. Not EVEN met a new face. Put some fliers around town? <BR/><BR/>I guess what I'm saying is, it's amazing how busy your life is. There doesn't seem to be a moment where you stop. It makes me feel like I'm slackin', even though I'm trying to work with what I can around here. I just get so down on myself, sometimes.<BR/><BR/>And my roomie is currently in (MOTHERFUCKING) China, so that's been making things a little slow, as far as the move goes. <BR/><BR/>Anyway. Try not to beat yourself up too much. I know how it feels. Lame.<BR/><BR/>I usually just end up calling myself a douchebag, only to pathetically whine back that I'm not. 'No I <I>am not!</I>'<BR/><BR/>...<BR/><BR/>I can only hope the universe smiles down on me in some fashion and grants a little luck my way. <BR/><BR/>In the mean time, I'll stick with plotting and working.<BR/><BR/>Very nice with the free Mac screen hook-up, though. Well played.<BR/><BR/>...<BR/><BR/>Why did the Vermillion Lies not like me when I met them? That broke me inside. <BR/><BR/>How do I always manage to make a bad first impression? It's almost guaranteed. EVERY TIME, DAMN IT.<BR/><BR/>...<BR/><BR/>I always end up breaking my shit, as opposed to losing it. Very frustrating. <BR/><BR/>...<BR/><BR/>I still need to check out Emilyn "Cupcake Punk" Brodsky's stuff, if only out of principle. Her name's pretty close to mine, and I've never really seen that before. Plus Brian seems to have pretty good taste, so he'd be a bad-ass producer. Will check it out soon, I will.<BR/><BR/>...<BR/><BR/>I finished a song about a werewolf. Oh yes, I know you just laughed. Trust me on this one. I don't fuck around. :)June Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178004193962192649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-73162597709010432262008-08-21T23:51:00.000-04:002008-08-21T23:51:00.000-04:00Dear Amanda, I'm sorry you lost a lot of your stuf...Dear Amanda, <BR/>I'm sorry you lost a lot of your stuff. That totally sucks. On the bright side, your New York concert blew my fucking mind. So thank you so much for giving me something I've been thinking back on for the past week and a half.

Don't let yourself get too discouraged because you're doing an amazing job!! I know because one of my very best friends, William, works at the Lakeshore Theater in Chicago. He called me and let me listen to your sound check and it seriously made my day. Then, he emailed me the footage of you saying hi to me and I got to be giddy as a school girl for the next few days. You are a huge inspiration to me in that you go after the things you want despite any fears or apprehensions and I definitely need more of that in my life. Anyway, sorry I'm such a gushing groupie! I hope to get to see one of your live shows soon!Megan Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00863010478841480944noreply@blogger.com
