    great inteview, even though on some levels, Andrea reduced me to the shame i used to have everytime my mother showed up in my school to wave fanatically at me.

    i love the intimate insight to Palmer, its great to know what she's up to these days.

    no hard feelings Andrea, just kidding. :P

    I read that she was interviewed on her blog, and i have been waiting for this to come out (hehe) ever since. I learned about her a few weeks ago, and I am so completely enamored with her, i would give her my first born. . . but i don't think she would want that. . And if she ever plays a show near Seattle, i will bring every one I could, just to introduce them to her music.

    Next time AFP comes to San Fran I will meet her. I got a friend who's gonna introduce me. I love how she likes to work with teenagers.

     

    Maybe I'll check out that Dark Gardens place, too...

    She is better than christ in my eyes!!!

    She's done me way more good than he has...

    Also, she wants everyone to introduce her to someone whose life hasn't been touched by her existence so push her onto your friends and family, people!  Do it for Christ my Savior!

    Man, when she said that they'd thought of doing workshops for the drama thing in Australia.... I'm not a drama person, but I swear I would become one if it meant the chance to get to know AFP... she's my heroine! :D

    I got all excited when I saw her mentioned on the side for a new blog. Thanks Trish for doing one on Amanda! She is definitely an awesome artist! My sister and I have been following them since Girl Anachronism, and we've seen them live twice, one just them and another when they played at the Tru Colors tour a few years back.

    Anyways, she's an amazing piano player and songwriter!!
