A Peek into the Mind of a Wonderful Doll

So I did some searching of the internet and found the journal of Amanda of Dresden Dolls fame. I found myself reading all the way back to the beginning and couldn't help but be struck by how much like my little band (pun intended) of friends is.

I guess it makes sense.

By the Dolls music and our love for it, it can only be a soul connection on some ethereal plane that we are unaware of consciously. This connection gets trickled through some electronic media, or if lucky, from the source and the soul mating of like-minded people gets frenzied together in a wonderful stew.

Anyway, if interested you can find her blog of her Dresden Doll experience, and just the experience of being human here:

Also, I thought I would throw in a comment on the most recent post to see what happens.

I wish it wasn't sold-out. :/

I wish I wasn't so slow to realize my enjoyment of them. Someone smack me next time they see me!

[EDIT: apparently the link didn't work AND I went online through the website and got tickets! Woot!]

Here's my comment:

So I go searching the internet for this band that my friends are raving about, the Dresden Dolls. I download music from their site and listen with awe and wonder. Wow.

Ok, so enough flattery, or should I do more? :)

So, unless of course you read this after you have left, you will be arriving in Portland Maine on Super Bowl Sunday. Congratulations, you have a sold out show up here, and many of my friends will be in attendance.

I am very happy for you, really. You don't know me from Joe "Who the Fuck are you" Schmoe, or maybe not even care, but alas I cannot attend because of some ordinance involving fire marshalls and the number of human bodies that can be cramed into a building at once and something about not having tickets available.

Needless to say, I am writing this monotribe to let you know that you are excitily (a word?) anticipated here in Portland and I look forward to hearing the wonderfulness of your show from my friends.

And I plan to pass your thoughts from the blogosphere (never really liked that word) onto my blog addicted Dresden Doll fan friends (who are going to the show).

All the best!
Brent

P.S. Will be cross-posting this on my blog cause it got uncontrollably long!
