I was pretty glad to hear that Tori would be playing the Aerial theatre this time around instead of The Woodlands because it is a bit smaller and any seat you get in the Aerial is pretty good. I didn't get a chance to even get my pre-sale tickets until the evening after they went on sale, but I managed Section 104 Row K and since it's on the floor I am happy! I have to say I have been to the Aerial for both general admission and assigned seating. I hated the general admission to be honest. I got to be right up front for Ani Difranco, but then I opted out on that just to have a place to sit for the evening. I went to see a couple of shows with the seating plan that is scheduled for Tori and I think everyone will be happy with it! Like I said, there really isn't a bad place to sit in the Aerial theatre! I am excited that it's on Halloween too (Samhain) so I can do a ritual honoring the dead ancestors before the concert! Yeah I am excited!

I have a press pass to Tori's appearance at Virgin Records on 14th Street at 6pm tomorrow (Wed, 19th). Yes, the same press pass that was being given away with the pre-sales. I spoke with the rock & roll dept manager there today and it turns out Tori might perform as well as sign records... It turns out that I have class tomorrow that I can't miss (UGH) and would be willing to pass the pass onto someone else as long as I can get a good word put in for me to Tori and my own copy of the CD SLG's signed. Please respond ASAP and ONLY IF YOURE SERIOUS and IN THE AREA. My phone # is (212) 581-1000, Room 742 (Im staying at a hotel because my apartment was down the street from the WTC disaster) and my email is sy351@nyu.edu Yours in Tori, Shirley _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2001 18:48:04 -0400 From: strange little woj Subject: chicago ticketmaster link ticketmaster has (finally!) added a purchase page for the chicago show: https://ticketing.ticketmaster.com/cgi/purchasePage.asp?event_id=7003332AE1E98D0&event_code=EAC1023&artistid=749136&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=1&artimageid=. all we need now is seattle and oakland...both of those venues are ticketmaster clients, so they should show up there eventually. assuming the latest toriamos.com newsletter is correct, seattle goes on sale this week, so it should appear soon, i'd think. woj ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2001 19:27:54 EDT From: SatelliteNo2@aol.com Subject: '97 Bonnie and Clyde This song is very effective. My first thought was, when this song ended, was I don't think I want to hear this again. Incredibly effective and it will definitely get the point across to any who have been "grooving to this song with blood on their sneakers." Well, any of them who choose to open their ears up and listen-it will irritate them. My vision was starting to blur halfway through the song and I felt a tremendous amount of empathy for this woman-especially when she was finally dumped into the lake. What will her daughter do? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2001 20:32:53 EDT From: megaela@aol.com Subject: Precious Things String Quartet Tribute Album Hi~ I know the current discussions are centering around the SLG album (which I purchased today and I look forward to reading your reviews)- but I have a sorta abstract question. Has anybody bought the "Precious Things: The String Quartet Tribute to Tori Amos" album? If so - what do you think of it? I need some instrumental music to listen to at work sometimes (where I'm an editor) and thought this sounded like a good idea! I'd love to see a review of it. I know at "The Dent" there is a small blurb about it... but I'm interested in other feedback as well. I can't ever seem to get on the official website for it - it always says "Server Too Busy." ~~meg ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V6 #173 *************************************
