Last night, Amanda Palmer, Dresden Doll, ukulele impresario, and wife of one Neil Gaiman, did a "ninja gig" at the Occupy Portland camp. It was a beautiful gig. The entire gig is now up on the OP livestream feed, which link is below. Note that it was dark (thanks to DST, Portland now gets dark before 5:00 PM), so you're mostly looking at darkness, but the audio quality is good.
A couple of thoughts. When artists like Palmer embrace the Occupy movement and show up, for free, to entertain the troops (as it were), there's a positive energy that comes out. This was the first time I'd been down to the Portland camp in a while, actually, and despite the mess, and the problems, and the infighting, and the drama, I really did get a feeling of community and purpose when I was down there.
Anyway. Here's the Amanda Palmer gig. NSFW because of language.
