1) Amanda just released the video for Oasis -- which is fantastic. I wish I was in it. You can see Emily Freaking White in there and Beth Freaking Hommel as the nurses. My editor once told me that the best thing that could happen for my book would be for Walmart to refuse to carry it. Based on that, I think Amanda's well on her way to incredible sales.



2) Amanda's assistant, the lovely and talented and aforementioned Beth Hommel is having an art sale / fundraiser to get money to buy a plane ticket to Louisiana and get inspired. Check out her shiznit.

3) The Big Book of Who Killed Amanda Palmer is, I believe, at the printers. Holy crikies! I can't wait to see it.

4) trillian_stars and I went out for a walk yesterday and when we got home, there was a pile of stuff at the door from various birthday well-wishers THANK YOU! including a bottle of champaign (excuse me, California sparkling wine). We celebrated.

Then we watched Sigaw which scared the wimpling blinder out of us. Excellent ghost story set in Manilla.

5) This morning our favorite brunch place was inexplicably closed today, so we made lentil soup









and Toasted Trillian Bread!



And there was more stuff left at the door from anonymous peoplz. Great balls of socks!

We're going to go for a walk again and enjoy the lurvely weather and then it's the last performance of The Trial and a big party afterwards.

roswell grabbed piece of bread & ran off with it, chewed it mercilessly but didn't seem to actually eat it. she licked up a lot of the tofu cheese but Roswell's mostly about making a mess rather than eating your food. she didn't try the lentil soup.

That video was fucking awesome! I can't wait for the book. I'm putting together a troupe to go see Amanda either here or in Portland in December, so any security flaws in her setup you know about which would enable us to bum rush her backstage would be appreciated.

I spent a lot of yesterday evening listening to a friend of mine gush about how much she LOOOVES Amanda Palmer.

What's on Toasted Trillian Bread? Looks like chopped onion and bell pepper.. but what's the white spread?

Either way looks delicious! Your pictures of food always make me salivate.

Do you happen to know if Pope directed the vid? It doesn't seem quite hi style, but it is INCREDIBLE. And not just because it features my dear Beth.

How do you put out food without someone stealing it? I have 3 little offenders I have to lock in the basement when I make anything. The second I turn my back, a little 4-legged thief tries to yank whatever I happen to have off my plate!
