You can order it online or go to a local bookstore like Books-A-Million or anything like that. It's a book of Kevyn Aucoin's make up and stuff. They also have Making Faces that came out before Face Forward, and it has a really pretty picture of Tori in it, and a couple of little pictures in the front and back where there are little collages in both of the books. *Angela* ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 01 Sep 2001 12:31:57 -0400 From: RTA Subject: Re: Union Chapel Gig To review the gig would be a waste of time now. So many people have said so much and most of it echoes the sentiments I would have put forward. All I can add is :- 1. The place is an "interesting" venue for an engineer. Too loud and you get slapback, too soft and you begin to lose things in the natural reverberation of the dome. It's like the Albert Hall in minature. There will be "sweet spots" and the opposite depending on where you are in the room. That's why you are getting reviews that say "amazing sound" and also those that say "muddy sound" from the same night at the same venue. To me, where I was, it was a great job and any "iffyness" was fixed by halfway through "Raining Blood". Top job ! 2. The low hum appeared during "Rattlesnakes" and was killed during the beginning of "MAAG". 3. Why do people worry about what songs she does / doesn't play & for how long ? It's her ride and we choose whether or not to participate. Whatever you wish to play is fine by me, Tori :-) I'm happy to go wherever she wishes to fly to. You've witnessed something special and enjoy it for that. I'd rather ONE good song played with feeling than twenty "going through the motions" specials. 4. Lust - a surprise and a very pleasant one - just blew me away in that context. 5. Rattlesnakes - This should be single material, Mrs Hawley :-) 6. Time - A beautiful song by Tom Waits, done beautifully. I loved this. 7. Mobile phones are the instruments of the devil and should be removed at the door unless they are off. Only two people failed, but that was two too many. 8. Flash photography ... Hmmm ... I can understand the need and why people want to take pictures, but when one starts, they all start. It did get quite crazy at times and I feel for somebody putting their all into a performance (as she did) then getting periodically blinded ... A little more thought, people ? Please ? 9. Special thanks to friends and very special thanks to Tori for a night that I will remember forever. That's about all really... Chop, change, paraphrase as you wish but what can I say ? It was beautiful.

I can understand why ppl want to take pictures, but those who think they need flashes should be aware..... A flash only illuminates the area for about 6 feet in front of you. If you are not in the first row a flash is not going to do any good whatsoever, and is probably not even necessary then. All it -will- do is light up the heads of the people in front of you, the reflection of which will overpower the stage lighting and cause Tori to be less visible, not more. I'm not a photography expert or anything, but I think what would serve better is a film speed that works in low light. My mom has done a bit of very nice concert photogrpahy, and she always uses a low light film, never with a flash. ~~julie ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V6 #157 *************************************
