Hi! I'm just wondering if ALL the music on FtCGH was written by Tori, not just the piano (which I know was written by her) but EVERYTHING, right down to the guitars? I would presume she told them what she wanted and they worked it out from there? I just listened to Playboy Mommy (for the billionth time) and got thinking about it? Does anyone out there know?

It is an outdoor ampitheater, open rain or shine. I checked: tickets are $25 and $20. I called: got a robot: I was assigned, "the best seats available". I was given no choice. The last sentence, after I gave my CC info and got tickets, mentioned, "plus $10 (something) fee and $1.49 for service charge". I got 2 tickets, don't know if that's $5 extra each, or $10 per order.
