Kickstarter is a great tool for some people....

So, I couldn't imagine starting a Kickstarter page and getting as much as Amanda Palmer did. I would hate to be the one that has to organize the 13,783 packages that have to be sent out...........................(but I am sure she can afford to pay someone to do it now!!)

Yeah that shit was crazy. How long ago was it she was a street performer in Cambridge? I swear, I studied all the wrong shit in school...

What D said.

Amanda Palmer was half of the cabaret/punk duo Dresden Dolls. She's married to Neil Gaiman, and performs with her own band now. She also does some performance art, and could probably drink you all under the table if she wanted to.

You must not have heard about the unrelenting hypocrisy that blankets every square inch of the hardcore scene?

Everything is BS until their friends/they do it, then it's crucial. This is the unwavering rule of hardcore.

Nothing to do with this lady who I'm sure is really good at "something"...but I know what Mikes talking about in regards to the B9's conditonal love of kickstarter.
