Ticket Giveaway: Amanda Palmer, plus Meet n' Greet Passes and Autographed CD

Amanda Palmer is the shit

Bisexual musician Amanda Palmer is best known as one half of baroque cabaret-pop duo The Dresden Dolls, but this year she has struck out on her own in support of her new solo album Who Killed Amanda Palmer. As evinced by her song Oasis, a chipper ditty about rape and abortion, Palmer's music uses theatrical flourishes to piano music that covers a broad and often macabre range of subjects.

TNG has two pairs of free tickets, autographed CDs and meet N' Greet passes (to say hi to Amanda in person) for the two people who leave the most compelling reason for getting such swag in the comments to this post. I'll be deciding this contest on the early side, so the sooner the better. And remember to also email your answer to Zack@Thenewgay.net.

This should be really good show and I encourage people to go for the tickets. I'll be posting an interview with Amanda later today and you can check out a mixtape of her music below the fold.

I believe I deserve these tickets because I can sing/rap along to every word of Amanda Palmer's new album. Now this may not seem too impressive however "Runs in the Family" is no small feat.

I also dreamt I had her eyebrows two nights ago.

Yesssssssss.

I deserve the swag because Amanda wore my favourite striped tights for that picture and now they don't fit me anymore. :-(
