Fiddle-playing hedonistic madwoman. I play the fiddle with The Tooles, Seanan McGuire, Jack o’the Dust, and other folks! https://linktr.ee/infamousfiddler No Nazi bullshit please.

As a result of an iron deficiency, I have injured my bowarm and am cutting back on performance for the next six months. I am keeping all already-scheduled gigs, I am just not adding any to my calendar until March 2026 or later.

Thank you for your patience.

I have received my empty apology.

*confetti*

Amy McNally @infamousfiddler.bsky.social · 10d

While I will share my experiences with whomever it may concern for feedback, I am certain I will receive nothing more than an empty apology. They can boot out who they want and I ain't no Kimmel, y'know?

It would be great to enjoy childish things as a child, but unfortunately THIS childish thing is hidden behind a Magical Wallet Vacuum.

Oh there are people who actually go around saying such things. Not to me, generally, but the sentiment is definitely out there.

Anyone who believes that adults do not belong at Disney parks on their own is WELCOME to go back in time and give my mother the five thousand dollars she would have needed in order to bring us at the "correct" time.

I don't believe that there's all these autism cases all of a sudden when I only know a few people with autism, something is fishy about it, just like those "scientists" who keep claiming there are trillions of stars when anyone can look up at the sky and see that theres only a hundred or so

There are definitely some folks we can ask! :D I thought I had hallucinated the Jughead's Diner storyline but of course it was with Dan Parent, who is involved in most of my favorite Archie storylines XD

In this time of strife, I would like to profusely thank one person for asking me to infodump my passion for Archie Comics on Monday, and another requesting an infodump on musical notes and in-jokes this morning.

When I get to share what I love and why, I feel more like a person.

Until they actually hire me to play Raglan Road, that sounds like a lovely alternate option. XD

I have looked for the folks who were helpful yesterday, and neither seems to be workin today, but I'm going to keep looking out for them. If they don't get kindness from Disney they can have it from me for free.

@seananmcguire.bsky.social and I laughed at that first bit XD

Thank you <3

Amy McNally @infamousfiddler.bsky.social · 10d

There is almost no chance they'll do anything for me or change their policy, but maybe there is a chance they'll do something nice for their kind employees?

I have written up The Whole Story and sent it off to Guest Experience Services, detailing not only the bad stuff but also the kind hotel receptionist who got me a room to recover in ASAP, and the patient golfcart driver she enlisted to get me/luggage/fiddle there.

Or maybe just if I hadn't proved I could play it?

Amy McNally @infamousfiddler.bsky.social · 10d

Thank you for making me laugh about this.

I did not want to perform. I only wanted to avoid leaving my baby with the bell desk.

When I am more calm, I will wonder where the line is: If I have a kazoo in my pocket, are they gonna throw me out of Typhoon Lagoon?

But right now I am too afraid to find out. Or sing too loudly.

My partner, a vocalist, was apparently less of a performance risk somehow.

Only enough to get me out of there, it seems.

Amy McNally @infamousfiddler.bsky.social · 10d

No busking, no potentially making people think you work for the company and causing lawsuits, I guess.

What was I gonna do, play "Be Our Guest" out of tune?

Have a violin with you?

No happiest place on earth for you.

I have been escorted off the premises of Disney Springs. I am not allowed entry with my violin. The security lead said he'd considered letting me in with it until he heard me play. I was trying to show that it was real, not a fake or weapon. Too bad! It proved I was an outside musician.
