An Evening with Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer
The Wilshire Ebell Theatre
October 31. 2011
iPhone photos because I was told
“Sorry, no photography permitted.”
by someone at the theatre who answered my email.
But I saw people with not only their mobile devices,
but point and shoots,
and DSLRs….
There is one moment I wanted to capture… when Amanda was in orange light…
I used my iPhone but the zoom wasn’t working, and it wouldn’t have been the same…
the photo is below…
Other than that it was a WONDERFUL EVENING!!!
Amanda and Neil sang together.
I Google You. Joan of Arc.
Amanda sang solos. Neil read.
They both answered questions from us.
They both made us laugh.
They opened with a costume contest judged by the Magaret Cho judging committee.
I loved all the costumes. The Fez Rabbits won.
One Fez Rabbit found me on Instagram so now we are Instagram friends.
My friend Meg dressed up in steam punk. I dressed up in masquerade, with cat ears.
Many unique and fun costumes.
Police call box. Dracula with powder blue suit. Robo-rina. Hester Pryne. Beetlejuice. R2-tutu.
There was a signing after… we didn’t go…
… a goal for next time.
Then an employee of Bill Maher took our photo outside.
It was a perfect Halloween evening.
This was the moment I wish I captured.... Amanda was sitting here in beautiful light thinking and listening and watching Neil read.... it was beautiful. I didn't see the house photographer anywhere. That's when I wish I had my Nikon and my 28-200 lens....
