TED演讲：Theartofasking请求的艺术(3)

同时，我还在本地巡演与我的乐队the Dresden Dolls一同在夜店演出。这是我在弹钢琴，旁边是一位天才鼓手 我还搞歌曲创作， 我们的收入逐渐增加，最终，我不需要再做活人雕塑赚钱了， 我们开始巡演之后 我依然不想失去这种 与人直接交流的感觉，因为我喜欢这种感觉。
So after all of our shows , we would sign autographs and hug fans and hang out and talk to people,and we made an art out of asking people to help us and join us, and I would track down local musicians and artists and they would set up outside of our shows, and they would pass the hat, and then they would come in and join us onstage在舞台上, so we had this rotating smorgasbord of weird , random circus guests.
所以我们在表演结束之后一定会签名拥抱我们的歌迷，和人交流互动，我们将请求他人给予帮助或加入我们的过程变成了一门艺术，我会找来当地的音乐家和艺术家在我们的演出门口表演，他们会传递一个帽子，随后他们进入演出场馆和我们一起登上舞台也就是说，我们有着不断更替的、各种各样的、随机的、古怪的表演嘉宾。
And then Twitter came along, and made things even more magic, because I could ask instantly for anything anywhere. So I would need a piano to practice on, and an hour later I would be at a fan"s house. This is in London. People would bring home-cooked food to us all over the world backstage and feed us and eat with us. This is in Seattle.
