Palmer, Large, and Moen: Attorneys At LawLast night’s concert (when I wrote this, it was still last night. Pneumonia and holidays interfered with it being posted in a timely manner) was unusual, especially falling so swiftly on the heels of the Scott Bradlee and Postmodern Jukebox show at the Hawthorne. Kurt Vonnegut said, “Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted”. The stars? Amanda Palmer (hung over after celebrating her newly-minted Best-Selling-Author status for ‘The Art of Asking‘), Portland’s own Storm Large (whose bio I found riveting, but whose PR machineries lack international reach) and Erica Moen (author of ‘Dar’ and ‘Oh Joy, Sex Toy’). Songs were sung – road manager Whitney joined in on ‘Delilah’, Storm sang ‘I Google You’, and Amanda soloed on a couple more ‘Ukulele Anthem’, ‘In My Mind’, and ‘It Runs in the Family’. But for me (and, I suspect, many others), it was really all about the conversation between these three different but exceptional ladies. If only ‘The View’ had these three!
The Benefits of Starting Slowly And strange for me? I’ve drawn two of these three ladies – more than once (Storm, call me!).
Venetia has already read “The Art of Asking” and I am working my way through it at a slower pace. And you can see the whole discussion between Amanda, Storm, and Erica here.
