Amanda Palmer with Jason Webley, Zoe Keating and The Danger Ensemble played KOKO in Camden last night. I've seen her so many times this year I feel like a stalker... first at the ICA, then at the football game in Shepherd's Bush, then at the Leeds United video shoot, then at Brighton, then London and in November I'll be in Toronto.

I had managed to leave my ticket at home so I had to leave work early and drive home to get it, instead of going straight from work to the station, which would've gotten me to Camden a lot earlier. I was a bit stressed most of the day, until I actually got to Camden and through the doors.

So as I posted on The ShadowBox:

After a hurried drive all the way home from work, then changed quicker than Superman, and back out to grab a train, I managed to get to the gig about 7:15. Not exactly when I wanted to arrive in Camden but at least I made it!

About the show itself? What can I possibly say?
NEIL FUCKING GAIMAN! ON TAMBOURINE! SINGING BACKING VOCALS WITH JASON FUCKING WEBLEY! ON OASIS!!

Although I was quite a way back from the stage, I still managed to be in the middle of the show, as Amanda brushed past me on her way to the stage with her veil, and Mark from the Danger Ensemble was stood right next to me holding a laptop all the way through Blake Says. Pretty cool!

So apart from the stress of forgetting my ticket and the rush home, it was one of the best gigs I have ever been to. And to finish... BRING ON TORONTO IN NOVEMBER! So cannot wait to do it all again, with my girlfriend by my side.

I'll upload some photos from KOKO to my Flickr later.
