So...We ended up leaving boise around 8:30 at night...and the amazing Kimber drove the whole way in the dark through all the scary fog! We ended up stopping at the dennys in pendleton around 2...and there was totally a redneck fight in the parking lot as we were leaving! (it was probably over meth...according to our waitress, that is about all there is to do in that sad little town...) Kimber totally broke up the fight by almost running them over with her truck and screaming out the window at them! it was hilarious!
We stopped at a rest area in the middle of god knows where...and spotted this:
...good times!
so we got into seattle around...9 in the morning...and got lost:
god...i keep getting distracted by looking at my videos...this blog is gonna take FOREVER!!!
calliope really wanted to help read the map, so knickie and i had to be on puppy-restraint duty for a while...see how much we hated it? lol
so...we finally make it to our hotel...and it is all teh classy! look! there were even gang signs written on the fake flowers by the elevator (which for some reason had a light switch inside it...ever ridden in a dark elevator? it is SCARY)! ooh!
for some reason we decided that walking around seattle (up and down hills...in circles and back and forth until our legs almost fell off) was more important than sleep...so knickie and i went exploring while kimber and holly recovered before the show.
saw the space needle...
then saved it from a giant hippo...
you're WELCOME, seattle! geeze...where's my key to the city?
went down to the market...saw some water...
and some more water...
eventually, we met up with a seansean...
...walked around the market some more, where i saw a daycare with this sign in the window:
made me happy!
...found our way back to the hotel, and got ready for the show!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
so...we get to the space at 608 a little late...jason was already playing...but we found decent seats...everyone was sitting on the ground...
Next up was Estradasphere...i hadn't heard of them, but they were pretty fun...did a zelda/mario song that was pretty great.
And after that...the moment we were waiting for! oh wait...but not really! hehehe i got all excited thinking evelyn evelyn was up...but instead it was amanda palmer singing with estradasphere...still pretty sweet!
Finally! the first ever live performance given by the "twins," evelyn and evelyn!
aren't they so cute? (jason is so pretty in drag! and of course amanda is always gorgeous...) lots of videos and pics for your enjoyment! hehe...they kept doing the whole "Twin Falls Idaho" whispering thingy...twas cute...
my video is a little bit better than this, but i can't seem to get it to upload...sad!
Elephant elephant is permanently stuck in my brain...thanks, kimber...
the twins had to stop and have a snack...da'aww...
someone even made evelyn-evelyn cookies!!!
after all sorts of good times, the twins retreat back into their room...then after a few minutes, out pops amanda (in her bra, lol) asking if we wanted her to go against doctors orders and sing us a song...well, DUH!!!

so as if that weren't full of awesome enough, we stuck around afterwards with some other people and helped jason and amanda write a silly song! turns out they sent out an email about an evelyn evelyn fanart contest, but amanda forgot to specify the evelyn evelyn bit...so they got some weird stuff! this guy sent in some images of a scarification thingy he had done, and...well...i'll let the video do the talking! i'm in the back on the left...kinda behind jason...
anywho...it was good times all around! and as soon as my stupid videos decide to upload, i'll even post this so that someone can read it! oooooooh!
