WKAP CHICAGO BRIGADE ROLL CALL
contact/info sheet
12-03-08


Amanda Fucking Palmer
D/O/B April 30, 1976
D/O/D September 16, 2008

Metro
3730 N. Clark
Chicago

So, what is so much better than dinner and a movie or dinner and a show?  Why a funeral procession in Amanda’s honor and then her show with the Danger Ensemble of course!  And coming out to play and perform with the brigade.

* Doors are at 6:30 pm so the brigade should be ready to roll at 5:30*
If you can’t make that time just let me know ahead of time and then get there as close to that as possible.

Early meet up: will be at 5pm at Mcdonald’s down the way from Metro on Clark Street/corner of addison and clark across from Wrigley(that big place where they play baseball or something of the sort).  We can go over things and if people need to get ready you can use the bathrooms there as well.

My contact info: Jennifer Jolly cell# 815-988-2337 for day of show. Text first so I know who you are. 
I will be available at Jollygirl@aol.com until about 12 pm on Wednesday.
I will be dressed as Al Capone so I will be easy to spot at Mcdonald’s.

As for the outline I will bring it when we meet beforehand because that way we can all collectively agree and collaborate.

Theme=  1920's Chicago gangster/roaring 20's/and some Irish...think Al Capone...flappers...funeral...mourning...long black coats and suits for the outside procession...parasols and presents for amanda's altar...candle's-flowers-flower petals-ponies-pictures-notes and platitudes...if you want to speak or read or sing/perform something in her memory you are more than welcome-you are VERY much welcome...we also have music and singing and stilt walkers and a funeral procession...so come join in and celebrate Amanda Fucking Palmer- the artist formerly known as alive in whatever way works best for you...as long as it is legal and does not piss off the venue...


Come ready to mourn and have fun with the brigade and the crowd.  Improv and crowd interaction is highly desired but if you are a super shy type feel free to march in the procession and quietly participate.  ALL participation is welcomed!

*also we have not just one but two DAFP’s a.k.a. dead Amanda fucking palmers-one will be outside and one inside...I will bring a workout mat and yoga mat so you won’t be right on the ground but we still need black or burgundy shrouds or sheets?  Anyone want to tackle it?  Pretty please with brigade cherries on top!
               

I look forward to meeting you all~performing and playing with you all~and then rocking out to the show with you all!!!!

Rock/art/brigade love,
jennifer jolly

P.S.  If you know of anyone who wants to join in and this did not get to them feel free to pass it on...thanks.  I emailed it to the 17 people i have email info for but wanted to post it here for the few i did not have info on.

P.P.S.  if you go writing my number in a bathroom stall please make sure it is a gay bar and remember to add "for a jolly time please call"...hahaha

WE ARE SO BRINGING IT~THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!  :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :love5:

Hey there,
I've never brigaded before but always really really wanted to and I will do whatever the hell y'all want (yes, anything...) if someone can give me a ride to the show (I am in Beloit, WI right on the border between WI and IL).  I got a ticket because itevaporated said she could give me a ride but now the show is two days away and she hasn't replied to my PM with any details. 
So...itevaporated or any other kind and merciful souls who will be passing through Beloit (or I can take a bus up to Madison and meet up with you there) and want to help a poor desperate AFP fan and guide her through her first brigade...well, I'd love you forever.

WEATHER ALERT !!!!

Fucking winter can suck it...not mother nature as i don't want to anger her-haha!

Check the weather reports on tuesday night but as it stands chicago might get 6in of snow on tuesday and there is a 70%chance of rain or snow on the day of the show...

UMBRELLA"S & PARASOLS PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO WORRIES about the brigade we will just switch it up and do more inside...the funeral march will definitely start outside but both DAFP's will be inside if it is too cold or too wet...i am making a chicago is a fickle little wintery bitch contingency plan so YES THE BRIGADE WILL GO ON and be as amazing as ever~we will just make the weather a character so there!

DO DRESS WARM!!!!  Hats and gloves and scarves and jackets-Oh My!

I am going to make myself a drink now, have a smoke, and resume gluing myself to stuff and getting paper cuts and creating some wicked basement art while talking to myself and laughing out loud...and of course listen to WKAP at stun volume for energy and inspiration...

 :headbang:

ALSO: remember to take into account extra travel time with the bad weather and whatnot and watch out for snow advisory parking issues because they are beyond evil about that in chicago...

weather~smeather!

looks like rain in the morning on wed turning to snow with but a mere 1-2inches and in the breezy 30's...

the way i see it is it will make it easier to look all sad~morose~generally miserable for the outside funeral procession part...and cause we are mourning afp's death too of course-haha!

If anyone has any last minute questions let me know.

ALSO:  if anyone has any extra tickets let me know as we have some brigaders who will buy them from you!!!!!

 O0

PS if anyone has some dark blankets they want to bring that would be great...i have a small dark navy fleece for outside DAFP but more would rule!

WKAP CHICAGO BRIGADE OUTLINE


Ok, my lovely, amazing, and wonderfully diverse but ALL talented merry band of Chicago Brigaders~here is the basic outline.  We will talk over more specifics day of but I think this will give you the gist of what we are going for.  I nixed the more specific outline sponsored by my OCD and anal retentiveness to give us more room for improv and fun in the face of less structure.  If anyone wants more specific input and suggestions just let me know.  And to all the virgin brigaders we have joining us~WELCOME!  The most important thing to remember is to have fun and enjoy yourselves and to know you are not alone...art is fun and brigading is a blast...it is your chance to be a part of the art instead of just observing...you will all rule old and new~of this I have no doubt!  Wow~this paragraph is actually longer than the outline-hahaha!

*the outline has been emailed to those I have full contact info on and the rest of you here will be getting it in a PM shortly...EDIT: if you did not receive it here nor there PM or email me

rock/art/brigade love,
jolly

you ALL seriously  :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

beautiful strangers are the best strangers of all...oops i think i just laminated myself to my laptop~oh the joy of manually laminating hundreds of funeral cards~weeeee

did i pm you the outline?

if not let me know and i will get right on it!

UPDATE:  would anyone care to tackle writing a eulogy...we have someone coming from way out of town who was writing and reading it but due to circumstances out of their control they might not make it on time or get to finish it in time...if we end up with two you will each read yours...if not i have something i will print out to read as it will be perfect for her...would love to write it but i am still finishing up laminating my arse off~packing shit up creatively and efficiently for quick set up and organizing last minute details.

never found a shroud so i will bring an extra long black coat so our outside DAFP will be warm and funeral like. :love5:

and thanks again to those helping others out with rides and tickets... :headbang:
