It's probably one of my favorite songs.......there's just something about the way she sings the chorus that I can't get enough of. I also like the fact the Tori was a little experimental with the song.

Well I am a guy and I am not at all fond of that song. This is one of the few tori songs that I don't like. The music does nothing for me and from what I have heard about what the lyrics mean, I am not too fond of them either, but that is just my opinion.

And I think that Past The Mission is a great song. it's definitely not my favorite from UtP....but I think it's pretty groovy. I don't realize why some people are saying that is a song more associated with the female fans. I understand that you can get this from the video....but not from the song alone.....but I guess we interpret things from our own contexts........

So I finally decided that I would go and see about getting some of his work and reading it. But I am a little confused, I think that he is a comic book write (which I am not that into comics, I'm more of a poerty man myself), but anyway does he just write comic books or does he write novels as well. Also, can you find his comic anywhere, like barns and noble? Sorry, but I don't know that much about Neil at all. Another thing, I would be really intertested in talking to other EWF online, it seems that talk get to talk to anyone online that is into Tori. So i would really like to talk to some of you.

It also includes my feelings about the ticket thing, so I sent it so everyone could read it. I would like to thank you for your wodnderfully calming and reassuring messages throughout the morning - they really helped alot of us (together, almost in tears in a chat room on AOL) since otherwise we were pretty much in the dark. I know alot of people are really upset over the way things were done, but I am more than pleased. I got awesome seats, front row in fact, and was in my pyjamas the whole time. I have always waking up at 6am to go to the local record store to buy tickets only to be screwed by the stupid lottery system or worse calling ticketmaster and getting horrible seats. I love the fact that you were able to pretty much choose where your seats were, although $45 for a ticket, in my opinion, is ridiculous ... I did pay it. The only other experience I had buying tickets online was for a Depeche Mode concert and that was great - we got good seats and it was super easy. I think that the problem yesterday was that mp3.com or whoever was in charge didn't anticipate the amount of people that would want to buy tickets and would know about it (since there was virtually no publicity, even about the concert in general, at least here in south florida). The only place that I heard about it was the Dent, besides tori mailing lists and stuff like that. Now, I'm not complaing about it, because it was definetly the reason why many of us got really good seats ... an does feel nice (like you are a VIP) to have access to Tori tickets this way. I do feel for those, like a few of my friends, who either don't have $45 to spend on a ticket and/or don't have internet access in their homes. Although there are literally hundreds of computers at my school, all of them connected to the net, some people (a particular friend of mine) are simply scared of the internet and wouldn't even try. And they will have to wait until the tickets go on sale otherwise - and who knows what kind of seats will be left by then ... no one really knows what that system is. However I think they learned their lesson about Tori-fans, who are always there at least 3 hours early, desperate to see their goddess and always always extremely emotional about it. My stomach was in knots the whole time :) Besides that ... it was an overall pleasurable experience since I got great seats and spent a few hours talking with some wonderful people, albeit mostly talking about how frustrated we were. Thanks again to mikewhy ... for always being there kisses, joanne ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 May 1999 17:25:04 -0400 From: Mikewhy Subject: Latest Tour Update From The Dent Toronto Tickets Onsale! - I was surprised to see that tickets for the Toronto concert are now available online! Ticketmaster Canada started selling them Saturday morning, May 22. (www.ticketmaster.ca) There is also a link there now from alanisandtori.mp3.com. Phoenix, AZ - Tickets for the Phoenix concert went on pre-sale Friday, May 21, BY PHONE ONLY, through Dillards Department Store, not TicketMaster. The phone numbers are 480-503 5555 or 800-638-4253. I was told the tickets would be available on the phone as part of the pre-sale on Friday, May 21 only, but I am not sure about that. They should be available to the general public in Dillards stores on July 24th. Concord, CA - Concord, CA tickets are expected to be available on the internet only on Friday, May 28. This is according to the alanisandtori.mp3.com web site. The venue there normally does not use Ticketmaster, so they will likely go on sale through Bass Tickets. (http://www.basstickets.com/) Saratoga Springs, NY - Saratoga Springs was the last concert to be announced (for a long time it was TBA.) Because it came into the picture so late, they were not ready to sell tickets on Friday, May 21. At this point I am not sure when these will go on sale! On Friday morning, May 21, the new alanisandtori.mp3.com web site launched, although it was not accessible until about 11:45AM ET. This web site is your first stop if you want to take advantage of the the special online pre-sale for the 5 1/2 Weeks Tour. Tickets are being offered online during this special pre-sale before they are offered to the general public. The pre-sale for most places is expected to last several weeks. To avoid confusion, make sure you visit alanisandtori.mp3.com FIRST and register your email address in the VIP ACCESS section. You are NOT registered until you visit that VIP ACCESS section and fill out the form. Most of the tickets will be processed using a special secure section of the Ticketmaster online system. However, you will be rejected if you have not registered your email with alanisandtori.mp3.com. Some venues do not use Ticketmaster, like the venue in Washington, D.C. which uses Protix, and Toronto which uses Ticketmaster Canada. However, those places have their own online ordering systems, and alanisandtori.mp3.com will simply direct you to special sites to purchase tickets for those venues. Cities Currently On Pre-Sale Online - Below is a list of cities that currently have tickets available online. They all initially went on sale Friday morning, May 21, except for Toronto, which went on sale Saturday, May 22. They are only be available on the net. Ft.
