This is the ESSENTIAL Australian teeny-bopper trashy nightly commercial radio program around the country.

Either enter in a random name or none at all (I think it's just for entering the competition.

Most captial cities have their 'alternative' stations ZZZ in Brisbane, RRR in Melbourne etc. ring and request Tori on these stations. You usually have to be a subscriber.

Argh! I have over 400 emails sitting unread in my oztori folder!!! Looks like I missed a lot of action this week, though I have just caught up on the latest 50 odd messages. Anyway... Yeah, what did happen to the t-shirt? If it is at all possible, It'd be good to have one soonish, and then another tour-time. But I'd settle for one at all. pressie for Tash... I've thought it ikky in the past, but if it's a group pressie it doesn't seem so bad. My suggestion is a story book. Shirley Barber is an Aussie resident (I think she was origianally from England) and does beautiful illustrations, fairy (pretty fairies, as opposed to the nice and not nice faeries), and animal (Martha B Rabbit and other ones) or Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, or Blinky Bill, something like that. Or something from Aussie Geographic. It is the thought that counts, and if Tori does end up donating it to RAINN to be sold for fundraising as has happened in the past, well I for one won't be offended. And Rachel and Rala, you can both ask Tori at the M&G if it's true she's planning on coming to Aus for the next tour! No, not planning, definately! Dan G, you haven't sent me your snail mail addy so I can send you those articles.

I like the idea of an Aussie story book :o) as its not your typical tacky Aussie stuff, and it's highly unlikely that Tori would have been given one before... and it's easy to pack! hehe. > And Rachel and Rala, you can both ask Tori at the > M&G if it's true she's > planning on coming to Aus for the next tour! No, not > planning, definately! I think that goes without saying!! She can't back out of this one to easy!!! Argh!! 4 weeks to go (and 33 days till TORI!! *gasp*) ...so much to do so little time...
