I find no mention of such a gig on Vienna's performance calendar: http://www.viennateng.com/high/music/shows.html Unless the booking was so recent that the schedule hasn't been updated yet, I'd say the answer is "no". Not that seeing Vienna and Tori on the same night wouldn't make for one hell of a show... Feel free to repost to PT.

My fingers are crossed.... Oh wow, that would be AMAZING. (What would be even better would be if she replaced Howie Day altogether, but I know there's no chance of that.)

Roots of Orchis' does a pretty cool remake of Possibly Maybe as well. the biggest disappointment was Hyper-ballad -- I have a tape consisting only of Hyper-ballad remixes (there are quite a few (eleven) if you collect the singles), and I played it every day for half a year, so I guess you can say it's one of my favourite songs ever. the arrangement was fine, but it is let down by, IMHO, atrocious vocals. worth the download, though. > If you're in'nerested, you can grab the mp3s here: > http://www.hushrecords.com/mp3frameset.html Kjetil T. np: Gete - Jygri (Norwegian folk rock 70's style, but sometimes more modern. a bit schizophrenic in that respect, actually, they switch from heavy guitars to an electronica backdrop from one track to the next.) nr: Neal Stephenson: Cryptonomicon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2002 22:48:56 -0500 From: "Sherlyn Koo" Subject: Save the Music review Hey folks, There's a review of the Muppets tribute CD here at this Muppet fansite: http://www.toughpigs.com/journalsavethemusic.htm Warning: he really (really) doesn't like Sarah McLachlan's version of "The Rainbow Connection"... - -sherlyn - -- Sherlyn Koo | sherlyn@pixelopolis.com | Sydney, Australia "...claims to be a human, from a planet called Erp..."

I don't think I could really like any version of "The Rainbow Connection" right now, so soon after watching a charming little Japanese drama called "I Want To Be In Love" which used it as the theme song... and half of the incidental music, in one arrangement or another. Mostly, though, Karen Carpenter's cover. Maybe in a year or so. Kinda like how each viewing of "Chungking Express" causes six to eight months of diving for cover at the merest hint of "California Dreamin'". ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2002 21:54:27 -0800 From: "William Mazur" Subject: RE: Fwd: 12/20 show in San Fran FYI - I forwarded Nadyne's original message to Vienna last night to see if she had a response for us. Vienna has been playing many gigs around the Bay Area over the past few weeks. Billi and I saw her at the Hotel Utah in SF at her CD release party a week or so ago. She was fantastic. Billi and I will be at the Tori show on Friday night 12/20. I really hope that Vienna does open the show. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-ecto@smoe.org [mailto:owner-ecto@smoe.org] On Behalf Of meredith Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 3:44 PM To: ecto@smoe.org Subject: Re: Fwd: 12/20 show in San Fran Hi, Nadyne inquired: >Any truth to the rumor that local Tori-esque singer songwriter Vienna Teng >will be playing a short set before Howie Day's set at the Dec. 20th show >in San Fran?
