AMANDA. FUCKING. PALMER.


I am in love with this woman.

I love everything she represents, and everything she creates. She's had such an influence on my life creatively that I was more than a tad overwhelmed when I met her and she signed my kazoo at her recent Academy gig in Dublin. Then she hugged me, and the chorus of "(I Just) Died In Your Arms Tonight" started playing in my head. Sigh.

I've half written a review/tale of the concert about three times now, and it's more than a month later. So instead of writing it myself I'm going to put you in the direction of Joey's review here, which is exactly what I wanted to say, and more. It was a truly unique musical experience (and I'm not exaggerating) .

You're probably feeling a bit short changed with this blog post so...

...here are some more photos of the the gig:

(AND THEY'RE BIG 'UNS!)
