It's times like these I totally hate being stuck in Sweden (one of my greatest dreams is that you visit Sweden some day, seriously, I will - perhaps with some violence - fill up thirty arena's for you.)
It sounds awesome though, and that dress you wore on the photo with Brian was very pretty

Dearest Amanda, are the rest of the music video posts coming or are you going to leave it with just Astronaut? Much love.

Yeah! Well I'm unemployed right now, but this is a show I can't miss, already bought two tickets for the show and two tickets for the flight from Milan to Boston. If any other European fan would like to be there for NYE, Lufthansa got low cost tickets from EU to US.

So jealous I don't live closer to Boston! Seeing you in Philly soon! Can't wait. I'm bringing my daughter and one of her friends. Whoo!

I know it's not possible, but how great would it be to have streaming for Losers On New Years Eve On Their Computers. The June 08 show was epic.

Oh, hi Amanda~ This is a request because my friend doesn't speak english, so I'm a messenger. She thinks it could be awesome if you sing something in german. I don't know the reason, but thats what she wants. Yup, she listened your work because of my awful covers of your songs, then she decided to learn a little about you, and I think you have one more fan.
And thats all!

Whoo hoo! Seeing you play with the POPS last year was one of the most mind blowing experiences of my life. I can't believe it's going to happen again, and on New Years!!! Congratulations, by the way, being asked back to Symphony Hall so soon and on New Years is a real honor. You totally deserve it and all, but still, congrats!! Can't wait to see what you come up with for the show and which special guests will be there. EEEEE! I hope you feel less jetlagged soon; I've recently learned how terrible adjusting even a few hours can be. Good luck <3

Already have my ticket. SO EXCITED. I've been smiling since I heard about the show - my bff and I saw Ben Folds with the Pops on Friday and were talking about how sad we were that we hadn't seen your show(s) last year, and now we get a second chance! Awesome.

Dude, that is just so un-fucking-believably awesome. I can only imagine what it must be like for a native like you to be up there with the Pops, and what a show it'll be! Makes me miss New England all the more....

Things that are wonderful and special about this: - Seeing you on my birthday - With the Boston Pops Symphony - And my wonderful artistic mother - Who is flying out from San Francisco for the occasion
I can't wait!

Super squee! The only thing stopping me from going is lack of money... and parental restrictions. Other than that, I WOULD SO BE THERE.
If it was in Seattle, I'd drag all of my friends and make a very loud and raucous crowd. With presents.

"i’ve also been given permission and encouragement to fill up every other little ballroom in the symphony complex with a different performer…"
Matthew Ebel, perhaps?

Conveniently close, inconveniently expensive, but that's the price of the Pops I guess? I'll just have to find something else to do for New Years. =(

The poster is ACES! Would you post the original pic somewhere please? I love it. I think there should be some art based on it.

The poster says tickets start at $45, but on the site it says they start at $80. Is there an error, or did the $45 tickets sell out that quickly? Anyone buy a ticket for $45?

dear amanda, ahhh you are doing such good, good work. i think it! so often.
and sometimes, i see you around the town and want to say, hey! amanda! this and this and that thing about what you're doooing is really really fucking cool. thanks for doing it.
but, people have their lives and i don't want to interrupt yours with my fangirl announcements.
so, so hiii! thanks for doing what you do. you're helping open doors for many many many people. i think. (and i've found myself posting youtube things of yours on my own blog because i can't think of what to say ... but it's a good way of sharing the things that we've found, you know, these internets).
so okay! thanks!
bye!

Hello Amanda,
I am taking my Mother hostage to Boston so we can hopefully attend the Boston Pops show on New Years Eve. We are from Ottawa, Ontario which is a good 10 hours out so I was wondering if we could crash at your place. I'm great entertainment if I do say so myself, we could cook and bring you wine. I think it would be epic. Oh yeah and we would bring Twin Peaks on dvd and Yaz on vinyl. Anyway I look forward to your response because I think it would be awesome if you could get back to me. Have a great day and keep on trucking.

Things I'd like to see someday: AFP starring in Cabaret or perhaps just performing all of Sally's songs. Though after having read the book, I can say that you're infinitely more successful than Sally was in the Isherwood stories. More talented too. What you have in common is that fuck-it-all-I'm-going-to-sing attitude that makes you so fun to watch.
