On April 19th 2010 Evelyn Evelyn - Amanda Palmer's new conjoined twin sisters project was coming to Dublin for a show. On the same April 19th a big ash cloud decided to drift over Europe in order to prove how helpless and small humankind really is. Point taken however due to the ash cloud crisis the conjoined twin sisters had to be split as part of the band remained stranded in New York.
With half of Evelyn Evelyn missing the Dublin gig turned into an explosive one-woman-show signed Amanda Palmer with Jason Webley singing from NYC on a live webcam. Yes on a webcam.
Cause Amanda Palmer went online, used Twitter to borrow props and cameras and tripods to make the show work and then called Jason on Skype. And besides a great hour of improvised crazyness we experienced a premiere of "Fuck the Ashcloud" (written together with Neil Gaiman over the web in the last 24 hours)
Isn't internet cool? And the show must go on.
