By now the news has flown around the globe at least twice that Amanda Palmer has been arrested for daring to play a ninja gig in Dam Square in Amsterdam. The reason for the arrest is still unclear but she was released after a short while on paying a fine. Most odd.
Amanda has a habit of playing ninja gigs, that is, just turning up and playing to a crowd, with short notice following a twitter alert. Amanda is currently on holiday in Holland to spend some time with her sister who lives there (so no, she is *not* on tour as reported in some press comments) but she felt the need to perform. And why not? Have ukelele, will ninja-perform.
At least she's out of jail now. Hop on a train to London, Amanda - I still wear my 'Punk Cabaret is Freedom' badge. And Amanda tweeted RIP to Poly Styrene so has a good grasp of the important things in life. Come to London Amanda, we'll look after you.
