Amanda Palmer announces Kickstarter campaign to fund a whole bunch of stuff she wants to do this year
Amanda Palmer is planning to release a new album in September. She's also planning an art book, public art exhibit, and a tour. The problem is, all of that stuff costs money, and Palmer, who is no longer on a major label, doesn’t have any. So she’s launched a Kickstarter: The fundraising drive reached Palmer’s goal of $100,000 in seven hours, but you can still donate if you would like. Donating just $1 will secure you a digital download of the album, while $10,000 will bring Amanda Palmer, her band, and her gigantic make-up bag (not kidding) to your house so you can go on stage with them and do a professional photoshoot to scare your parents (seriously, not kidding). You will also eat Thai food, drink, and be merry, apparently.
