I was blowing up Mixie Moxie via SMS because I knew that she had gotten to see the Portland show of Amanda Fucking Palmer’s newest project:  Evelyn Evelyn.

Evelyn Evelyn is a character–actually 2 characters…conjoined twin sisters (both named Evelyn) played by Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley.   I’m a sucker for theatrics, and this project goes way beyond “concept album”.  It’s a traveling circus side show musical…with a huge back story that was weaved with the assistance of Neil Gaiman, to whom AFP is engaged.

So I asked Mixie Moxie how she enjoyed the show.  She wrote:

“The show was amazing.  The Crystal Ballroom dancefloor is on ball bearings so it bounces!  4 and a half hour show.  Brilliant theatrics from e/e.  Finally got to see Jason perform and AFP was spectacular as usual.  You must see it.  I think you’ll really like Sxip!  Look him up, he’s amazing.  Sxip Shirey”

Well, I did look him up.  And I do like him.  And now I’m sharing.  All thanks to the Mix:
