I've never had anything but the best of service with them. also, something to add to this.... last time i ordered from them, i was asked to take part in a servay to rate their customer service... the slogan was something like "making the 'net a safer place to shop".... it was done by a company other than cdnow... this is the first i've heard of this, but if anybody gets the chance or URL or whatever, you may want to refer IG to them.... hey kids.. this is getting fun! let's see how many tori collectables we can NOT order from IG.... here's a start... there is a company that advertizes in the back of SPIN magazine called "Burning Airlines"... i sent away for thier catalog, and got it a few weeks later... they had some good, odd, stuff... i ordered, and got my package (and all of it for that matter.. they really had what they said they did)... i got the "winter" single sheet music, a bumper sticker, and a funky button.... in thier new catalog, they have an olive green t-shirt with the "hey jupiter" ep cover on the front... i am ordering that tomorrow... the catolog also states that it has '96 tour dates on the back... the last 96 show i saw was in october in athens, ga and i didn't see the shirt for sale at that show.. is this a real tour shirt, or one made to sell in the stores as an after thought? kind of like the white shirt with the mummied piano and tori on the front was a tori tour shirt sold in stores for the alternative kids who didn't really go to the show (this way, we can tell them apart :P ) ok.. enough from me... - -rusty agentorange2@juno.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 12:14:23 -0400 From: emeraldnymph@juno.com Subject: tori tees ok...when i saw tori (all four times)...i never bought a t-shirt cuz either i didn't like them or didn't have enough cash. you know how they changed throughout the tour. but i'm rilly rilly dying for the hot air balloon shirt (and also any from the under the pink tour). if anyone knows where i can get one, puh-leazzze e-mail me and let me know, k? thanx!

The e-mail addy for Burning Airlines is http://www.igateway.com/mall/special/burning/index.htm There is no picture of Tori shirts they offer and they have 1 Tori shirt listed, but I think they have more in their catalogs. (Yes, no?) Anyway, catalogs are a whole buck. While I'm here, I recently got a notice about a 1998 Tori Amos catalog that I can preorder... Yes ladies and gents, a calender totally devoted to Tori (unlike this years women's Rolling Stone calender, still looking forward to December though). Any one hear about this? What are the pictures from? Captions? Quotes? Anything? - -Kimmy ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 18:54:54 -0600 From: Dave Woodson Subject: Re:IGG-from the tori update WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!

GOTT IT?? IF you have any questions, please ask. (We need the full >thread of the 'dream shelf' 'flame' from precious things. First to pass >that gets a gift! THANKS!) So I can get a free "Tori Gift" for turning in Toriphiles who complain about IGG on line. This brings up the question,of what exactly constitutes a "Tori Gift." Well, here are some of my thoughts on the matter. Whenever I visit Mike Why's Dent in the Tori Amos Net Universe site, and find it constantly updated with news and links and all kinds of other wonderful Tori related things I might otherwise never see, compiled by a truly dedicated EWF, that is a "Tori Gift." Whenever I check my E-mail, and Enjoy RDT and Precious Things and Elizabeth Lauren Perry's Truly outstanding Tori Quote of the Day list, that is a "Tori Gift." When a young woman who I thought of as one of my closest friends, who was beautiful in every way, was killed by her diabetes at 19, and I listened to BFP and all the girls seemed to be speaking directly to me, and it really helped just as it does now when I find myself just having thoughts of Melissa, that was a "Tori Gift." Every woman who is helped by RAINN is A "Tori Gift." Tori is a "Tori Gift." So I don't want to come across as a flamer, IGG, but still, I wonder what part of Tori are you offering me that she hasn't already given? A CD, perhaps, or a poster or some other such thing I could as easily buy or trade for? Not to denigrate the value of these things. I like Tori stuff as much as any EWF does. But this offer just doesn't seem like a "gift." More like payment for services rendered, or a variant on the radio call-in giveaway (Be the 9th caller and get tickets or something) A gift is free, and this offer carries a price; The respect and fellowship of a lot of EWF's. That is too high a price to pay. The community of EWF's is a "Tori Gift", one which I value too highly to throw it away. Having never done business with IGG, I have no first hand information on whether the flames they have received (If, in fact, they are rude enough to qualify as "flames" and not merely customer complaints) are deserved or not, but I won't automatically dismiss my fellow EWF's as immature cranks who deserve to be turned in for a reward if they say anything bad about IGG. And somehow, I think that "Tori Gift" would resemble 30 pieces of silver, and I just couldn't take it, even if they did have Tori's picture stamped on them, every one. -Dave ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 20:17:14 -0700 (PDT) From: dEliriUm Subject: byebye im leaving the list because i am going to NJ... but i should be able to rejoin soon... so kinda byebye Marissa - --> bluegirl@earthlink.net ================ Our existence DEFORMS the universe. ...THAT'S responsibility! :::::: ================ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 23:37:00 -0400 From: the woj of noise Subject: TV Guide's World Series of Rock and Roll >From: RDamara1@aol.com >Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 22:33:20 -0400 >To: torinews@chihuly.com >Subject: TV Guide's World Series of Rock and Roll > >For your information, Tori has won the TV Guide's World Series of Rock and >Roll.
