Hello, beautiful people.

As you know, We are supporting Nine Inch Nails for ALL of their US tour dates, and something I would love to have is a huge showing of Dresden Dolls fans at the shows.

Normally, we gather a handful of people to do amazing, beautiful, creative things, and if you didn’t know it by now, these people are called “The Dresden Dolls Brigade”, and we usually are able to have some spots on the guest list for them. With the NIN, Coachella, and Bonaroo shows however, things are a tiny bit different - mainly, there is no guest list for us, at all.

You might see that as a bad thing, but I like to look at it this way; Now, as far as I’m concerned, any Dresden Dolls fan who is able to get tickets for these shows and wants to show their support – in even the smallest way – IS a part of The Brigade.

We would LOVE to have your presence there, as you know how
special Dresden Dolls shows are, and The Brigade helps give them that
extra magic that Amanda & Brian work their sweet asses off to create for us.
Dress up, pass out things, do impromptu performances, decorate the place with flowers when you get in the doors – and invite all of your friends who are fans of The Dresden Dolls to do the same. The more people who are there showing their support for The Dresden Dolls, the more fun it will be for all of us, and trust me – Amanda and Brian notice, and absolutely love it. You can even get dressed up AT the show, creating a performance out of that!

So, it pretty much comes down to this: You need to get a ticket, and
as soon as you can, as they will sell out pretty quickly. Find out when they go on sale where you are – this is a good place to find out: www.nin.com/tour/index.html

Our hands are tied so we can't do much but appreciate the hell out of you
this time, and shower you with love and admiration, (and hey - that's
not so bad, is it?) but we may be able to do something special for you
in the future. Maybe give you a cool sticker, buy you an ice cream cone, or tell you that your shoe laces are untied, so you don’t fall and hurt yourself.

If you’re able to make any of the NIN/DD shows, and want to decorate the place with your beauty and/or talent, please send me an email *with the CITY in the subject line* to thebrigade@dresdendolls.com , just so I know who you are for future reference, and, perhaps, eventually get you that ice cream cone.

lovelovelove, and LONG LIVE PUNK ROCK CABARET!

Your adoring Ringmaster
