Who Wears The Silver Underwear In This Relationship – Neil Gaiman And Amanda Palmer On Tour

Having kicked off Halloween night, Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer are in the process of working their way up the West Coast on a mini-tour titled An Evening With Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer. Ok, so other than being married, what do an author and a musician hope to bring to our entertainment experience?

we’ll have a piano, a ukulele, and maybe some other weird instruments, as well as some unpublished and uncollected Neil Gaiman stories and poems. we’ll both probably switch up what we’re presenting from night to night. we’ll be taking questions from the audience, chat-style, and trying to do special things in each venue, busting out a few surprises, and more or less trying to feel like we’ve connected with you, the people we love and usually only get to talk to directly on twitter & blog-land.

Um, ok. What about those of us who live on the other coast? The one with, typically, fewer earthquakes or other kinds of apocalyptic weather events? Jeez, Amanda – you started The Dresden Dolls in Boston! No love for the home town? What’ve you got for us, ma’am?

since this is going to be such a small run, and so many of you amazing people won’t be able to attend, we also decided to RECORD THE SHOWS, and CROWD-SOURCE THE FUNDING. only HERE on kickstarter can you pre-order and lock-in some really tasty rewards for helping take “An Evening With…” from a five-show tour most of you can’t witness, to a worldwide release commemorating the whole shebang!!!

So, if we donate at least a dollar, we get a digital download? Wow! Pretty cool! Say I’m really crazy and I want to throw, oh, I don’t know, $2500 at you. That’s right $2500 American not that Greek Euro stuff, this money is only mostly stable. What’ll that get me?

{6 DAYS OF NIGHT | ALL SHOWS} A “Golden Ticket” VIP experience for ALL five shows including 2 tickets to each, admission to soundcheck & meet and greets with Amanda and Neil, the best VIP seats in the house, EVERY piece of merch available (including all solo NG & AFP items, TBD), a special hug from Amanda & Neil for being SO supportive, and a tour laminate & lanyard + signed, personalized, and NUMBERED (of 100) limited edition “An Evening With…” CD set & poster + limited edition signed & numbered fine art print of AFP & NG, taken by Allan Amato + surprise from AFP & NG + digital download

“A special hug”. Huh.

Well, I suppose, as helpful reader Trebuchet pointed out, I could’ve just watched you on Craig Ferguson.

Oh, brother...

As much as I enjoy all things Rocky Horror, I’m not entirely sure what Amanda did Neil to lobotomize him in such a way that he only very occasionally springs to life in that clip to channel his best Schroeder, but that’s good work. Perhaps, she may just want to give him a cowbell or a triangle next time. Or a handgun.
