I got dressed real quick and ran to take the first bus downtown. After all, i was about to make my dream come true, which is traveling to USA to finally meet Tori. My friend Alexandra, that lives in Washington, already had bought tickets to see Tori on October, 12th in Fairfax, VJ and she was going to buy tickets for us watch the show on October, 15th in Camden, NJ. My head was full of images and I was imagining how those days would be like. Seeing Tori, how I was gonna feel, what how I was going to do when seeing her. That was the moment that I dreamed for almost 2 years. There are moments that you ask for God to make then come true. Moments that you know, they will be the most increadible ones of your life and they will change you forever. I took the bus downtown (Rio de Janeiro) and i went to american consulate, where I'd have an interview to obtain the visa to enter in country. I was hopeful, at last, I obtained lots of documents that'd help me to go to USA. I had with me the list of Tori Concerts to show there. I got enough money to go there and to come back with no worries. . . . After of interview, I was informed that I couldn't go to USA, because many laws has changed after what happened in 11th September, so they told me to come back 6 months before to try again. . . . After that, my year had simply ended and almost 2 years of dreams, plans e hopes had been postponed for quit sometime. I don't know what happened, or what was wrong, but I prefer to accept that God decided it would not be the right moment yet. My faith doesn't let me be sadder than I am now, because I know He has a life plan for each one of us and nothing is by chance. . . . I came back home with my head exploding, but I didin't cry everything I had to. Maybe that's why I can't believe in what happened. I thank God for everything that He allowed me to feel and dream. I never had made plans in my life until that moment. I also thank my friend Alexandra, who invited me to go to USA and gave me all the support I needed. I thank all my friends that believed in my dream. . . . Today, still not recovered, I'm looking for answers. I just find myself questioning many things. I'm sure that everything has a intention and i try to discover which is. Despite of all sadness in my heart, something still keeps strong and full of power: the my devotion for the guy that, even without noticing, helped me obtain and discovering wonderful things, and made me believe that I can go beyond my limits in my serching for happiness. Thank you very much Tori !

We finally have a European tour date to announce! Thanks to Thomas, Galland, and Brandon for letting me know. Tickets are apparently on sale already at francebillet.com. You can also place ticket orders at the FNAC stores and see more evidence of this at fnac.com. I am not sure if this is the first European date, but it does seem to prove that Tori's European tour will begin sooner than expected, and her second leg of the tour in the U.S. which has been rumored for January, will be relatively short if it happens. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2002 23:47:23 -0400 From: Cyndi S Crawford Subject: "USA Interactive to Own Ticketmaster" dunno how much this will affect ticket sales, but.. from http://my.aol.com/news/news_story.psp?type=4&cat=0800&id=0210101700191790 70 : NEW YORK (AP) - USA Interactive said Thursday it has entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining shares of Ticketmaster it does not already own for about $700 million in stock, but is halting similar efforts involving Expedia Inc. and Hotels.com. USA Interactive, which is headed by veteran media and entertainment mogul Barry Diller, already owns 66.5 percent of Ticketmaster, the ticket selling service, and controls 93 percent of its voting shares. The deal values outstanding shares of Ticketmaster at about $15.17 a share, a 20.3 percent premium over Wednesday's closing price. Ticketmaster shareholders will get 45.1 million shares of USA Interactive stock upon the completion of the deal, which should occur by year's end. In trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Ticketmaster shares climbed 26.6 percent, or $3.35 a share, to close Thursday at $15.95 while USA Interactive shares advanced $1, or 6.2 percent, to $17.22. In June, USA Interactive had announced on June 3 a multibillion dollar plan to increase its equity ownership in three publicly traded subsidiaries, Expedia Inc., Hotels.com and Ticketmaster. The market, however, did not respond well to the propsal and hammered USA Interactive's stock price reflecting concerns that the company wasn't offering enough. USA Interactive, which had 2001 revenue of $5.28 billion, owns Home Shopping Network, which allows customers to purchase items off of television. Expedia is an online travel firm. Hotels.com is an online hotel room discounter. Diller, chairman and chief executive of USA Interactive, expressed disappointment that the transactions weren't completed for all three businesses, but said that he remains focused on travel. ``While we would have liked to reach the same result with Expedia and Hotels.com, and have had collegial and positive discussions with each of their special committees, we are convinced no transaction will be consummated at this time,'' he said in a statement. ``No one, however, should mistake our actions as any lessening of enthusiasm in travel as a key part of our future - notwithstanding today's unstable international climate - our faith in the growth of interactive travel services over the long term is complete.'' As of Dec. 31, USA Interactive owned 64.6 percent of Expedia and controlled 94.9 percent of the voting shares and it owned 68.3 percent of Hotels.com and controlled 97 percent of the voting shares. 10/10/02 16:55 EDT ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2002 00:00:00 -0400 From: dances with virgos Subject: toriamos.com news update from : Friday 11 October VIDEO NEWS...
