Tori Amos has made plans for a first ever trip to Poland in mid December. Tori will join Poland's legandary radio personality, Piotr Kaczkowski, on his top national radio station PR pr.3 on December 15th and 16th. Stay tuned for details on this very special broadcast with Tori. this casts doubt, despite what was reported yesterday about ticket availability, on the alleged show in conegliano, italy on december 16th. in fact, the dent is reporting that tori's management has confirmed that that show is *not* taking place. if anyone can confirm with the venue (teatro tenda) or the ticket vendor (boxoffice.it), please let us know. woj ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 01 Nov 2001 10:19:18 -0500 From: "Shaigirl ..." Subject: T-shirt & Necklace... Hey there! I need a *huge* favor from someone who is going to a show. I was only able to attend the Indianapolis show this year and unfortunately, didn't bring any cash with me. I had my credit card all ready to buy a t-shirt and necklace. Only one problem with that: they didn't accept credit cards. (Which absolutely amazes me when they charge more for a t-shirt than the ticket to the show itself... and accept only cash.) So I'm looking for a kind soul who'll let me Paypal them the $$$ for a t-shirt and necklace. I know exactly what I want and how much it is. I'd be willing to throw in a little extra for your troubles, too. I'm hoping somebody will be kind enough to help a girl out, because it really means a lot to me. Thank you in advance!

Okay, well it's not totally free. Sorry, I'm just a terrible liar. But it's close! I figure this deserves being repeated, since I don't want anyone to be left out, and things are a little different. Signups are still open for the Tori Perma-Tree. If you don't know what a tree is, or haven't been involved with one before, it's fairly easy. You sign up, and choose to either be a Branch or a Leaf. If you're a branch, you get the show(s) first, and it's your duty to copy the shows for a certain number of the rest of the people (Leaves). The advantage to being a Branch, is that you're gonna get the show at least a week before the leaves. The disadvantage is that you're going to have to copy shows for a while. Maybe it's not a disadvantage though, because it's really good karma and trust me, every bit helps. Personally I dig doing B&P's for people since I remember being a newbie and it just plain sucked. The tree is B&P only, which in short means you send your Branch the correct amount of blanks for the show (and maybe an extra in case a disc messes up) and a self=addressed STAMPED mailer with return postage to send the shows back to you with. The Branch gets no money or other "compensation" for copying the show for you, just a warm fuzzy feeling, knowing that in a few days, someone will hopefully smile when they get a package in the mail. The Leaf is out more more effort to get the show than a nice email to the Branch saying "thanks a lot, you're a really great person". Everyone wins, world peace is achieved and we can all sleep safe in our beds. Or at least we'll all have good music, who's to say about the world peace thing. We're changing the scope just a little bit in order to make it more available to everyone. If you're apprehensive about joining up for the entire run of the tour's shows, which could take up to a year to hit the streets, we're gonna let it work in waves. I'm not sure how long a wave will last, but after a while (I'm thinking maybe 10 shows or less) signups will be re-opened and if anyone who's a branch or a leaf wants to drop or join, it'll be cool with everyone involved. Anyone sticking around will be able to keep the same tree structure, but if something's going to come up (like say, you're graduating in December and don't exactly have a future planned out yet, been there, done that) then don't worry about having to miss out, you can take a break, and hook back up later. (if you're still with me) More details, the website, and all that jazz is at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tori-perma-tree or if you just want to join up via email, send a blank email to : tori-perma-tree-subscribe@yahoogroups.com when you join, please please please be sure to fill in the database information, it's important I promise. (if you don't you're not actually going to be part of the tree, we use the information to attach leaves to branches and try to geographically sort it and all that fun stuff). If anyone at all has any questions, feel free to shoot them off at me personally, I'll try to answer every email I get and help anyone out if they have questions. I really want everyone out there to get all the new shows they want without having to go through the hassle of having to download them (I know it can be a pain if you're not blessed with high speed) and/or paying a lot for copies because the only person you can find with a copy of the show charges 10 bucks for a 2 CD set, etc etc. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2001 14:49:57 EST From: MadDrizzle@aol.com Subject: Tori in Houston - Halloween Wow. This show was unlike any other show experience I have ever had. The words breath taking, mesmerizing, transcendental, amazing, intense, beautiful, powerful all come to mind. I tranced out and didn't come down until a few hours after the show. I think it was a combination of several things. It was Halloween (Samhain) - A very special holiday to many. The venue was a small one. Everyone in the audience was respectful and attentive. She started out with '97 Bonnie and Clyde. Eerie. The beautiful lighting showing through the torn curtain reminded me of a sunset and then twilight. I remember thinking that she sounded a lot angrier than on the album. After the curtain dropped Tori came out in a light blue dress and a veil that had a silver head piece. She did Raining Blood which was absolutely phenomenal. The lighting was appropriately red. When Raining Blood was over she said "Hi" to everyone and continued by saying "I think it's very magickal that I get to be here with you tonight." She said she took someone's suggestion and decided to be the "Devil in a Blue dress" and that she was wearing the veil since "tonight the veils are at their thinnest." Before she started with the next song a woman wearing all red came out to help her take off the veil. The Following is a list of the order of the rest of the songs she performed: Happy Phantom Black Dove (January) Upside Down I Don't Like Mondays This Old Man Putting the Damage On Concertina Cloud on My Tongue Little Earthquakes Crucify Rattlesnakes Me and a Gun Purple People Encore #1: Caught a Lite Sneeze House of the Rising Sun Encore #2 Bachelorette Silent All These Years 1,000 Oceans She did an intro for Crucify I had never heard before it was something like "This is my old friend and she's been around. Like some of us girls who have been around." At first when she said "this is my old friend" I thought she was talking about the Wurlitzer because she said that as she was walking over to it. I also thought that maybe the intro was a cover of a song I didn't recognize, because it did sound familiar. The last song "1,000 Oceans" couldn't have been more appropriate for the occasion. Since it was Samhain- a day when lost loved ones are honored. I felt the same about Raining Blood, for all the women who have been unjustly executed in Afghanistan-or for any woman anywhere who has suffered and/or died because of misogynistic treatment. Last night they were honored. Their deaths were not in vain. Awesome show. I didn't get to see all of Rufus' set. I walked in while he was performing his last song. A lot of people were wearing costumes-which was made the atmosphere fun. I just have to say I love the Aerial Theater. It's small, intimate, the set up is great. I think it was the perfect place to see Tori. Unfortunately, my friend had a problem w/ the security because he grabbed her butt (anyone else have this problem?) Anyhow, I'm still glowing and I will never forget last night. Last night just reaffirmed how I felt about Tori's music. She's amazing. I feel very lucky to have been there for that magickal evening. - -Dove "......If we do not fight to create a future there will be no future for any of us." -Neil Gaiman on "Raining Blood" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2001 17:32:46 -0800 (PST) From: Amelia Subject: Re: T.Master not updating sales "Sold-out" is a very final term, meaning that under virtually no cicumstances can you get tickets through TM. TM is only allowed to say "sold out" if the concert promoter says so. If you hear "no tickets available at this time", it means that more tickets *may* be available later, no garuntees. Sometimes more tickets will be released later. They want Moolah for every last seat in the house, so if the promoter reserves seats for reviewers or execs or whomever, and those people cancel out, you can bet your bottom dollar that they'll try to get money for that seat. *Whew*. Sorry, I used to train all those little breathing "phone representatives" for Ticketmaster, and that's pretty much how I explained it to them in training. Hoped that helped.
