Imports question *hugs* and *faerie dust* to all you EWF I know a couple of people have mentioned Bang! Imports. I took a look at their web page today and although they have a few things that I would want to purchase, the page looks a bit unprofessional. I was curious if anyone on Precious Things has ordered from them before and the results they got. I read a post from one person who ordered from them, but I was hoping to hear from more than one person, to get a good feel for the service. So, if you guys could help me out here, and let me know of your experiances with Bang! Imports, I would be forever grateful.

I'm not really a drug expert or anything.. I know some of them cause different effects..and there are a lot of different kinds. They are drugs that kind of make you see into another reality... I remember when my my sister was in rehab and I got all the stories or whatever of the other kids there.. people trying to peel themselves open because they though like their veins were worms inside them and stuff... Some people have good highs, some people have bad ones.. I think in Tori's case, she uses them more for spiritual self-fulfilling type purposes.. not because she's can't face reality or whatever.

Um, for starters, they're "mind-altering/expanding" drugs which usually make you hallucinate, hence the name. I've done lots of research on them and have talked with acquaintances who've used them, but I'm no one to be telling you about it (I can talk the talk, but I haven't walked the walk). There's some really great web sites, um... The Vaults of Erowid and Perception and Knowledge are kick ass resources. Even if you're someone who wasn't even interested in halluninogenics in the first place, they'd catch your mind.

My Tori quote would have to be, "thought she deserved no less than she'd give" from "Yes Anastasia" . . . that line says to me, "The more you give the more you'll get in return, if you are lacking, it's your own fault for not giving." Like they say, "It's better to give than to receive." Just my thoughts on it.=20 =20 Jennifer Cypres writes: >Do we know which chains will be carrying it? Hooray!!! I was thinking "SunCoast" would probably have it and if not, you could definatly order it from there. Hastings will probably get it. MusicLand/Sam Goody might also. I'm planning on checking them all though. I'm so excited for this tape!! I recorded the Lifetime showing of it, and I cried through the entire thing. My mom came down and asked me if there was something I wasn't telling her, like maybe I had been raped or something. I felt bad, but I couldn't stop crying, it was so beautiful. I don't know, live Tori, god there is nothing like it in the world. I love it. On the, people don't like Tori because . . . I have been bragging about Tori to everyone, wandering around with a strange look in my eyes singing those lyrics that touch us so deeply . . . I am the main spokesperson for Tori in the Idaho Falls area. :) I often like to sit down and tell people her life stori, just because. :) Or, I'll play a game with myself, I'll try to name the songs of the albums in order. I've been doing that since 9th grade. :) Or, I'll try to list all the bootlegs I own, or write down an essay on Tori or her music, or I'll try to decipher the lyrics to a song that I have in my head. But, everyone I ask about Tori, our dialog goes something like this: "You like Tori?" "Tori Spelling?"=20 "No, Tori Amos." "Whose he?" They think she's a boy. And if they have heard of her, they think she's a lesbian. *sigh* If only the world could be as enlightened as us.=20 >You know, I mention Tori from time to time among friends I'm trying >to get closer to, and you know, when I ask them if they know of her, >they usually do, but when I ask what they think of her, intelligent >people will kind of look at me in a funny way, and say (this would be >coming from my friend Joe), "Well, she's got a great body and she's >gorgeous and all, but she's weird.

They don't know what they're missing :) >ciao >Kip* I agree with you babe, they don't know what their missing. The reason I started my Emotional Scars page (the one I mentioned earlier) is because, if it wasn't for me wanting to see a Tori concert, I would have most likely suceeded in killing myself. I think she's the reason I'm still around. My mom, when she used to try to help me want to live, would tell me, "You won't be around to hear another Tori song." . . . and the way I interprited that was, "Your life is so pathetic that the only reason your own mother can think of for you to stick around is because you'll never hear a song by someone who doesn't even know you exsist." . . . That should give you an idea on how I feel about Tori. :) For a long time, I had a little saying, "I love her more than myself."=20 Stacie, I LOVE your little quote!! It's so cute. The little: "ewe isn't fat, ewe is fluffy." I think it's so sweet, it brings a cute picture to one's mind. :) Well, I thought I had one more thing to say, I can't think of it now though.

But as a news list it's an excellent tool, and I'm thrilled to have it back. Many thanks to John Stewart for hanging in there, and to the SMOE folks for housing the list. The info below is the welcome message you'll get when you subscribe. You are not subscribed to the list by virtue of having gotten this meesage from me! :-) (Sorry, I can't contain my excitement.) Be seeing you, Richard Handal, H.G. ___________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the torinews mailing list! Please save this message for future reference. Thank you. If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, send the following command in email to : unsubscribe Or you can send mail to with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe torinews yourfirstname yourlastname If you ever need to get in contact with the owner of the list, (if you have trouble unsubscribing, or have questions about the list itself) send email to . This is the general rule for most mailing lists when you need to contact a human. [Last updated on: Mon Jan 12 1:04:03 1998] Greetings and welcome back to ToriNews! It's been a while, eh? Subscription info for ToriNews, a Tori Amos mailing list, last updated 11 January 1998 **Welcome new subscriber!!** Contents: 1. Welcome 2. Subscriptions *ONLY* [no charge of course ] 3a. List purpose [IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!] 3b. What to do if you have a problem 3c. What happens when you post 4. Explanation of other Tori lists 5. No digests 6. No archives 7. Important legal stuff 8. Questions, comments, etc. 1. Welcome Welcome to the Tori Amos *news* mailing list, ToriNews [thanks to Steve, ombo@aol.com, for the name] We started operating on 22 January 1996...and took a rather long hiatus for several months [smile] while yours truly went through the "let's remodel a house!" phase of his life. Fortunately this insane project is nearly done, which will give me back parts of my life, including this one :) Many thanks to the fine folk at smoe.org for hosting this list after it lost its original home at Chihuly Studio. Without them, many, many musicians' mailing lists would not exist. As of 13 July 1997 we had 487 subscribers, from twenty-two countries, four continents, and a whole lot of time zones :) As of this writing that has changed dramatically...please be patient as we get the subscriber list back in shape again. At least you won't be getting the bounce messages now :-) PLEASE SAVE THIS SUBSCRIPTION INFO!! That way, if you want to sub or unsub or want to look up info, you can do so without asking me directly. Thank you for your cooperation :) 2. Subscription Information This list is limited to subscribers only. If you try to post to the mailing list address, torinews@smoe.org, and you are not subscribed, your message will be bounced. So make sure you subscribe *before* you try to post :) If you want to be able to post from more than one address, you will need to subscribe from each of those addresses. Please contact me at stewartj@seanet.com if you have difficulties. *TO SUBSCRIBE*, please e-mail torinews-request@smoe.org with a message body of subscribe. Majordomo will send you a confirmation request, please respond to it promptly, and then you're in! *TO UNSUBSCRIBE*, please e-mail torinews-request@smoe.org with a message body of unsubscribe. Again, Majordomo should send you a confirmation request, please respond promptly, and then you're gone :( *TO POST*, please e-mail torinews@smoe.org and write to your heart's content :) (See #3) 3a. List Purpose The purpose of the list is to disseminate information about Tori Amos...concerts, live appearances, TV/radio gigs, press/articles/etc. Or if you're trying to find someone with tickets to a particular show, or someone who taped something, or have Tori-related rarities to sell or trade, use it for that as well. PLEASE DO *NOT* use this list for discussions of what Tori's music means to you, etc. There is already a mailing list for that (Really Deep Thoughts Right Now) and I'm not trying to compete with that list, which does a great job at what it does best. There is another list, Precious-Things, which also deals with general Tori chatter. I understand that there are different interpretations of "news" about Tori, and I will try to be as understanding as possible. However, *please* respect the intended nature of this list. If you do not, you will be unsubscribed. If you have a question about something you think you want to post, *please* ask me first. Many of our subscribers pay for their e-mail, and are on this list precisely because it doesn't have the chatter that some other Tori lists do. They are also very sensitive to posts here being *news*. Oh yeah...and if you're posting about something related to a particular geographic area, *please* mention the location in your subject line. That way, if you're in New York, people in Australia can just delete your post without reading it if it's about tickets for a NYC show. Think of it as a "netiquette" thing. 3b. If You Have Problems Please let me know! I like to know about bounced mail, delivery problems, etc. If you are having a bad hair day or flunked a big exam or didn't get a raise, I'll listen, too :) If for any reason you get errors while trying to post, please forward them to me, stewartj@seanet.com. This should not be happening now that we will be running under Majordomo. If you have a problem with something that happens on this list, *please* e-mail me directly, stewartj@seanet.com, rather than mailing the list. I know tempers can flare very quickly, but in the long term it's easier to let me deal with things than to drag out discussions on the list itself. "Old-timers" here will tell you I usually get problems addressed quite quickly. I would really appreciate it if you can follow this policy. 3c. What Happens When You Post If you get messages that someone did *not* receive your message, please forward them to me so I can investigate them. That makes the whole process a lot smoother, and me very grateful :) 4. Explanation of other Tori Lists As mentioned above, there are other mailing lists related to Tori. Really Deep Thoughts Right Now (RDT(RN)), a more-or-less no-holds-barred discussion of all things Tori, is one; Precious-Things, a list designed to cut out some of the chatter of RDT, is another; and a third, Tori-Boot, is dedicated to fans looking for recordings of Tori's many performances. *Please* avoid cross-posting the exact same message to all these mailing lists; at the very least, think about what you're trying to accomplish before doing so. A lot of people are members of more than one list, and threads tend to develop across the lists that really don't accomplish much. Your cooperation is deeply appreciated by *all* the list owner folks. NOTE: An easy way to get signed up to these lists is to point your Web browser to http://members.aol.com/jlitges/toria.htm [Thanks Joerg!] For more information about RDT: E-mail violet@slip.net, and she'll take care of you [waves to Violet] For more information about Precious Things, please contact (For the bounce list): precious-things-request@smoe.org, with the word 'subscribe' in the body of the text. OR For the digest: precious-things-digest-request@smoe.org, with the word 'suscribe' in the body of the text. For more info on Tori-Boot: To subscribe to tori-boot: Send e-mail to majordomo@world.std.com The body of your message should read EXACTLY LIKE THIS: subscribe tori-boot To unsubscribe to tori-boot: Send e-mail to majordomo@world.std.com The body of your message should read EXACTLY LIKE THIS: unsubscribe tori-boot To make postings to the mailing list: Send e-mail to tori-boot@world.std.com 5. No Digests The purpose of ToriNews is to disseminate, in a *very* timely fashion, information about upcoming Tori events and items. A digest-based list is great for intellectual discussions, but not so good for quick updates. Because of this, this list will *not* have a digest mode. Please do not ask to be put on digest mode...it's not possible and wouldn't make sense. Think of this list as a "bounce" list...as messages are posted, they will be distributed. No manual intervention on my part...once you're subscribed, you're in until you unsubscribe...or you are unsubscribed, God forbid. [I've only had to do that twice.] 6. No Archives Due to the timely nature of this list, there's no way to archive this list. That shouldn't matter, as RDT digests are stored by some members of that list, and there are several Web sites related to Tori as well. Greg Burrell has an excellent one at http://www.webville.com/~tori 7. Important legal stuff The opinions sent to this Tori Amos mailing list are not necessarily those of the list operator, his employer, or his ISPs; nor do they necessarily represent the mailing list members or those who post here.
