["Kristy" Subject: Re: my Tori thoughts I thought that was such an amazing thing to say. I don't believe I would ever hold tori as a religious icon, but I do see the wonderful things that she does for people that go far beyond the metaphysical. Her touch, her voice...even her smile, can saturate a wounded soul with even the briefest moment of happiness. It's bliss of another kind ;) loveintori, Vicki http://travel.to/desolate.winters p.s. And, my dear, I can associate with Precious Things. I had just broken up with my boyfriend a little over a week ago, and it really did a number on me. Luckily, I saw Tori only 4 DAYS after it happened, and I think that had a lot to do with the healing process. My ex and I weren't together for very long, but a lot happened that is going to leave an impact on the rest of my life. My poetry still lingers around his subject, but there is always music. "Tear In Your Hand" has been making an impression on me, but it seems I have only been listening to "Bliss." Actually, after experiencing Tori for the 4th time last week, I was also moved by Alanis, and have been listening to her newer album since I bought it...the next day. I'm sort of on this struggle to find happiness in independence and I feel that, at the moment, Tori and Alanis are the ones who give me strength.

I think we all handled ourselves quite maturely and although it was a bit dumb to have Tori at the front of a huge crowd I think that everyone behaved famously. I was the short one that asked everyone to duck.. with the Toriphile shirt on... :) I got my autograph and I think everyone was really satisfied :)... Also I would like to thank everyone for ducking down so I could catch a glimpse of Tori. I also think it was extremely cute when we all said "We love you Tori" together... :) So anyway.. thanks everyone for not getting too out of hand... I had a blast...

We have room for one or two people to ride along, sharing gas money (and perhaps driving time). We will be leaving friday night/early saturday morning and will be to the venue in time for the meet and greet. we are returning sunday morning. if you are interested, please email me at lamberts@cda.mrs.umn.edu. Even if you are from iowa, south dakota, north dakota, or somewhere else in MN, maybe we can work something out... we do not have any extra tickets, but i know that lawn seats are still on sale, and i always have luck getting good seats the day of the show. hope to hear from someone soon!

F." Subject: Tour Temper???? Hi, I have been scanning over a lot of the msgs that have been posted about this tour, and on a couple of them I have seen that Tori has yelled at someone in the audience or talked about how rude people can be. Is this something that has been happening at a lot of the shows? I haven't been/won't be going to any of the shows, so I'm wondering what is causing her to do that. Are these some Alanis fans that are being disrespectful to her or just general boneheads that don't have a clue how to act in public? >From those who have been to the shows, do you all think that Tori is going to regret having done this tour if this is how things are going to be? I don't think I've ever heard of her shouting at someone in the audience. It's usually a mutually respectful situation between her and her fans. Anyone have comments on this? Cheerios!

It didn't. :o( It got lost between Holmdel and Saratoga...after it had been started up *again* in Nashville...so, well, I'm not the happiest person right now. *glower* There was a lot of work put into that, by me, by people who actually *got* the scrapbook...argh. So, it's dead. And I'm pissed. Really. Argh. This was going to be a great thing, but it's just not happening, babes.
