An Evening with Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer
Summary: An amazing performance.
Longer version, or as long as I can make it before wanting to go to bed as I have to get up for work in 7 hours: I've always been pretty indifferent towards Amanda Palmer, as I don't follow her music and all I knew about her was through other people. But, I will say that she seems a lot of fun and she's quite talented and her and Neil together are really fucking cute. lol
Neil Gaiman is classic and English and very good at what he does. Love that accent of his and it is just as lovely in real life as it is on an audio book. He's also not half bad at singing. :) And I heard a few poems and short stories I'd never read before and they were terribly amusing.
The night was a little sombre overall due to AP having visited Occupy Vancouver earlier in the day and learning about the girl that died. She sang a cover of Death Cab for Cutie's "I Will Follow You into ihe Dark" in honour of her.
Couldn't stay to get my book signed as it was already 11:40 by the time they finished and with 1100+ people in the theatre, I had no idea how long it would take to get to them. They also said there would be no time for pictures or chatting which is something I would prefer to have, so signatures can always wait for another visit.
But it was overall a very fun performance with lots of laughter and I'll be happy to get my copy of the audio from tonight once the shows are all done, knowing I was there.
