A footnote to Amanda’s Wedding Blog…from someone referenced in the blog:

August 16, 1997

All the single ladies line up for the tossing of the bouquet.  See the chick in the silver dress?  Amanda Palmer.  Check out the look in her eyes.  No one is getting in her way.

Except maybe Katie.  Amanda gets smacked down.

But she still walks away with the bulk of the prize.

In case you’re local… Amanda Palmer is touring Australia and New Zealand right now.  Check out her upcoming shows and go if you can!  She’s awesome.

Holy crap, Neil Gaiman reblogged me!  Can I squee?  Do people still squee?

What I find most amusing is that I originally posted this 2 years ago, and the last bit, about Amanda touring Australia and New Zealand, was true then, was true this time last year, and it’s true again now.  She just can’t stay away.

This year it’s a bonus, though, because she’s touring with Brian Viglione as the Dresden Dolls.  I’m so excited to see them live together, I’m flying down for the Christchurch show as well as driving down to the Wellington show.

No one wanted to go out in the rain to pick more oranges so the next drink was gin and lemon juice. Yikes.

jakke asked: Is there any food item from the US that you absolutely can't find and desperately miss in New Zealand? Or are you pretty pleased with Weet-Bix and such?

My brother is visiting from Saskatoon.  He and his family arrived two days ago.  This is what I requested he bring for me:(There were 8 boxes, I already ate one.)

This is what my husband wanted:

(There were 4 bags, he already ate one.)
