Motion Consumes Distance



As I was out walking today I thought about how the motion of my legs propelled me forward through space. The distance between myself and my destination got shorter and shorter. Being eaten up.
"Motion consumes distance." I said.

I bring myself closer to things by moving towards them. I bring myself closer to my goals in the same way: by motion, though it's not always physical.

I move a lot. I'm a little obsessed with motion. Getting closer...

Which is why I have launched a UK and Ireland mini tour. It is a pre-sold tour which will only happen if I sell enough tickets. I'm doing six dates (though I only mention five in the video.)

Also not mentioned in the video is that Molly Crabapple will be doing the art for this tour!

By way of a little update

I left New York on Wednesday morning and arrived in Melbourne on Friday morning. It is cold here! We have fires and drink hot tea and wear scarves. Very different from my sweaty summer in NY. This fuzzy blue hot water bottle is my best friend.

Since arriving I have been sleeping, eating scones, helping Jim with the animation, and doing my part to make sure my pre-sold tour gets sold.

I'm happy to report that with 56 hours to go half of my pre-sold "Impossible Tour" has sold!

 

Shows that will happen!

 

NOVEMBER 4th - Boston, MA


NOVEMBER 12th - New York, NY


OCTOBER 15th - San Francisco, CA


OCTOBER 27th - New Orleans, LA


OCTOBER 22nd - Portland, OR


 


Shows that may not happen



OCTOBER 14th - Los Angeles, CA


OCTOBER 23rd - Minneapolis, MN


NOVEMBER 5th - Hartford, CT


OCTOBER 21st - Seattle, WA


OCTOBER 13th - San Diego, CA





 

I'm really excited about the shows that have been funded and I cannot wait to come to those cities and put on amazing shows. There's still a little bit of time left to buy tickets, so if you want a show now is your chance.
