...

i am going against everything i said previously and pre-ordering "who killed amanda palmer."


the chance of her playing a concert in your fucking living room is too good to pass up. i know i won't win, but it never hurts to try... that and i want the spiffy stuff in the $100 bundle.

that is if i can pre-order it and be one of the 672 people that are allowed. if not, it's the $34.99 bundle.

worth a try

for my music appreciation class we have to do a 5-7 minute oral presentation about something musical. the catch is it can't be over classical music or old composers. i don't know about the other people in my class but this made me really excited because i immediately thought of the perfect artist to do my presentation on...

amanda fucking palmer.


my professor said he's looking for uniqueness, freshness, and preferably something or someone that a lot of people might not know about. i think amanda fits those things and much more.
seeing that most people probably would not know who amanda palmer is without the dresden dolls, i'll be including her musical companionship with brian viglione as well.

it's perfect. there are so many resources, art pieces, quotes, songs, and things i haven't thought of yet that i could use in this presentation. i want to do it early so i can maybe introduce people to her around the release of the new album, "who killed amanda palmer."
i'm thinking of making a 3-4 song sampler to give to everyone as a gift along with using songs and video for the presentation itself.

i'm excited.







my excitement for this made me feel better for not being able to go to the nine inch nails concert at red rocks tonight. i still regret not buying tickets... damn it.

hmm...

so i went to the taste of colorado with my sister today. for those unfamiliar, it's a food/drink festival that takes over civic center park in denver. there are restaurants and little shops that set up along the streets. you buy tickets and at each tent they have food or drinks available for you to get with your tickets. they range from tastes, which are just little samples, to full meals. obviously full meals take up most of your tickets (some are up to 18 tickets) so i went around and got samples which range from 1-5 tickets.

along with a really good sample of a black peppercorn steak, i ate alligator... yes, alligator.
here's a picture of it:it really wasn't that bad. it smelled kind of like fish and had a really unique taste. i would have eaten the whole cup but the fact that i knew i was eating alligator tail got to me and i couldn't finish it. my sister couldn't either. i ate two pieces and she ate two.

not something i would eat again but i'm glad i tried it.
