She hardly batted an eye when I suggested that she sign my foot and everyone around us thought it an uber-cool idea.  The picture didn&#8217;t turn out so well, but that&#8217;s what happens with spontaneity, I suppose.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p class=\"flickr-yourcomment\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">PS: Amanda hugged everyone afterwards as if she were our best friend.  I was a bit surprised by the familiarity at first and then just enjoyed it.  It must be quite a skill to be able to treat your fans as if each one was someone that you care deeply about.  Undoubtedly that is her gift&#8211;when she sings it&#8217;s as if it is just you and her, and that carries through in her post-performance affability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"flickr-yourcomment\">UPDATE: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/mindonfire\/3445954057\/\">John&#8217;s pic of my foot<\/a> is so much better than my feeble effort&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amanda Palmer signs my foot at secret Los Angeles show, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl.
