Hanging.Very.Tight!

I wonder how many dates there will be... I doubt I'll be able to travel around to see numerous shows again next year. I lost my job/business in July and have zilcho in the $ department. Doing internships now which mean no prospect of money for quite some time! :-\
that really sucks :( I'm sorry.
Hopefuly you find some money!!!
I'm hoping that I can go to an AFP show as a birthday present, since my birthday is at the end of Jan....

Fingers crossed, for both of us ;)

Thanks, and yes fingers crossed for you as well!

I am sure I can get to at least one show in Sydney if she has one, so it's all good, I just really loved getting on a plane every weekend and going somewhere else when she was here. I definitely can't complain if I don't manage to do that again because it was amazing to be able to do it at all. I just hate not having money now, it makes me very uncomfortable, I've not been in this position since I was like 15, a fucking decade ago!

I take it you're not turning 18 in January? What state do you live in?
i'm turning 15 in Jan >.<
& i'm in Victoria


Damn so no where near 18. So chances are it'll be at the Corner Hotel and strictly 18+ ... Fingers crossed it won't be the case or she can do another gig somewhere for underages. Sydney was all ages last time so maybe you could come up here!
damn damn bloody damn *inside joke*
can i take my mummy? xP


Hehehe, well my Dad came to 2 AFP gigs I've been to, but that's because he likes her music!
i'd like to go to sydney for a show! good luck to me asking if i can -___-
mum doesnt pay much attention to what i listen to
the only attention it gets is "what shit are you listening to?!"
gawd.  i'd force her to come if it gets me in, lol, which it probably wouldn't


You know sometimes if you call ahead to the venues prior to the event you can ask if they'll let you in as long as you are accompanied by a parent or guardian. SOME do, not all so once you find out where it is, it's worth a try!

There is a venue called the Evelyn in Fitzroy that have all ages gigs... 400 capacity room!

Anyway I'd assume everything is already booked if she does tour Oz in February.

well the evelyn sounds appropriate haha. it is an evelyn evelyn tour, with her and jason separately as supports right? i swear i read something along those lines somewhere...

I do like that Amanda usually plays at the Corner when she's in Melbourne, since it's actually pretty close to home for me, but just once, I really, really, really want to see her play at the Forum.
I know it's bigger than the usual Amanda Palmer venue, but it's my favourite venue in the world! Plus, there is a bar on both sides of the room, and that's just impressive

The fact she sold out in Melbourne so quickly last time would probably make that realistic. She has played in a venue of similar size to that in Sydney and it virtually sold out but her following in Melbourne is bigger! They never do all ages gigs there though do they?

I think that's later in the year and not sure if they're coming to Oz. I think playing the Evelyn for that would be awesome!

QFT - the forum is a way better space than the Corner.

Nah, I don't think so. 18+ is how all these venues make all their money. It's so rare to see an all ages gig these days

I reckon she could sell out the Forum though. Or come close to it

I think I have seen one or two shows on sale there that were all ages. Fuck I don't miss the days when I was underage!

Just check with the venue first. They MIGHT let you in.

Will be talking with my AFP/DANGER ENSEMBLE travel buddy soon about Melbourne. I am really strapped for cash but I don't know how I can't go. Will keep scouring for Sydney dates as well!
