The poster, his third Tori art and the second commisioned by fans is one of the best posters he has designed in his 30 + year career as a poster artist. Bob Masse has designed for the greatest rock bands in the history of the genre, and has produced a limited edition 300 signed and numbered fan poster. It's an amazing design and it is just for fans of Tori (no wholesale to other dealers). The poster will also support RAINN with a $5 donation from the sale of each poster. Price is $30 each and can be shiped anywhere in the world. Please take a look at the poster at the above link and reserve yours today.

I got to one of the boxes of stuff that my mom had sent (really ugly sheers, anyone?), and buried down in there were a bunch of brand-new Type II tapes. I mean a bunch. I now have around 40 blank tapes looking at me. And I'm primarily a CD trader these days, so I don't really foresee that much use for 'em. So, to get rid of these: I'm looking for newbie trades. $5 per tape, no 2:1s or B&Ps (that wouldn't get rid of my extra tapes!). Profits, as always, to RAINN. Payment by money order only (well, cash is okay, but at your own risk, see the previous message about places to get money orders), no cheques. I have an extensive list of Tori material. I also have Cowboy Junkies, Indigo Girls (who are on tour right now! go see them!), R.E.M., and a couple of others. This isn't closed to traders. I'd certainly be more than happy to trade, and get some more stuff in my collection. Questions? Email me.

Both are beautiful when observed from a respectful distance but can be deadly if you get to close. Also about LUST...I think that the song is possibly about a women who has gone through some kind of sexual abuse and now is in a much more healthy relationship but still is dealing with the abuse. "running through the underworld into your room" She goes through hell just to get where she is now. Or also she was dead in a sense(emotionally and sexually) but he re-awakens those feelings (of love/lust) in her. "emerging running free" finally being free from the shame caused by the abuse" "till her voices are remembered and her secrets can be told" the secrets and the pain of her abuse "and he waits until she can give" The man will wait for her until she is ready. I don't have the lyrics with me now so that is the best I can do listening to the song on my headphones. I be interested to hear anyone elses thoughts on the song. Personally, I think that the many of the songs of the album deal with adjusting to married life and "wedded bliss" lauren15@hotmail.com http://www.geocities.com/lilya8 ********************** know you're out there somewhere orbiting around... circles and circles and circles again... round and around this time for keeps... got to stop spinning.... *********************** ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 08 Oct 1999 15:15:06 EDT From: angel dust Subject: tori was great in seattle last night! hello everyone. so, i was at the seattle show at the key arena last night, and it was so great. better than last years in seattle, i think i would actually say. so, tori played as followed: 1.

Secondly, I would like to give a little outline of the setlist: (not in order, probably) SEATTLE, WA god - so beautiful, the way she danced with the bosendorfer logo on her piano, and the vocals were amazing sugar - my friend's favorite song, i liked it juarez - sounded very much like the live mp3 i have, which is a GOOD thing cornflake girl - i started screaming, i was *so* happy blood roses - same as above, lovely improves and her dancing father lucifer - one of my favorites of the night **secret time** TAKE TO THE SKY - read my story below... smells like teen spirit - more amazing than ever, i cant even describe it in words... cooling - same as above. still crying at this point **the boys are back in town** spring haze - so lovely little earthquakes - AHH! i love this song!!! suede - it surprised me, it was soooo good professional widow - ahh! i was so happy to hear this! black dove (january girl) - HELLO, my favorite song!!! pretty good year - me and my boyfriend satrted crying. now i now im missing quitealot, but somebody else probably wrote it down and will post it, right??? she told a little squid story. "do you know how squids mate?? they move their little tenticles, saying 'HI There' aand 'Youre cute!' and the boy squid reaches in his little pocket like hes giving her a joint and he pulls out his little guys and ohhh! its so cute!" or something like that, and she said that we "smelled good" (probably because some guys behind us were smoking weed. i got to the meet and greet and two and landed a spot right at the end of the front banister. i was going to get to talk to tori!!! i squirmed and jumped and was realy excited and FINALLY she came out and she was wearing this adoreable blue fleece hat (which reminded me of all the fleece-sweater dreams i had about meeting tori) and she made her way down the line.. lalala you know, i got a few great pictures of her, then AHHH!!!! she was right there in front of me signing some thigns and talking to me a bit, and i said i needed to ask her a question and she looked at me and said "what is it dear?" (heheh!) and i told her that Me and a Gun was my favorite song and that when i got raped in the summer (insert tears starting here, as her pretty blue-green eyes looked into mine, they didnt move, she kept staring at me) i had lost the song, i couldnt listen to it, and i blocked myself out if i accidentaly heard it. and is there any way to heal this? is there any way to get the song back? she talked to me for about five mintues, you guys!!!! now if you've never met her like this, then i dont know what to say to you. two days ago, i thought that i would see her and i would be mute and speachless and all "oph my god its tori" ish and i saw her and she was SO BEAUTIFUL and SO MAGIC that it felt so comfortable. FIVE MINUTES!!! thats more than she talked to anybody else... i felt so incredible ,and i cant really repeat what she said about the song, but i just know that Me and a Gun is sitting by a pool somewhere with a margarita, and i may never get her back, or maybe i will but it will take healing, and it could go either way. Tori said (ahh! i cant believe i can say that!!!) that she too couldnt play me and a gun for specific reasons and that she understood my feelings. i asked her to play take to the sky, you guys, so if you were there, you know she played it, and you can thank me and the one other peerson who requested it. i was plannign to ask for purple people, but take to the sky felt liek the song i needed. and she PLAYED IT you guys!!! and io started screaming and crying and my boyfriend held me and what else can i say??? if you've read all this, you truely must be bored and/or ready to kill me right now. i love all you guys. love in tori, courtney - ------------------------------------------- http://www.angelfire.com/bc/rapideye (LPC) "if you call me an airy-fairy new age hippy waif, ill cut your penis off" -tori amos ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 8 Oct 1999 21:05:06 EDT From: Prettynightshade@aol.com Subject: Hi, I just moved in!!!

I finally got time to respond to all of these emails (between school, ballet, and wasting my time being stupid I've had no time to check my mail... I got on today and had 400 emails!), so this is going to be an incredibley random letter. My first comment: To Venus and Back! I got it the day it came out, and was too tired to listen to it! Isn't it terrible what school can do to you? But since then I've listened to it about a thousand times... it's awesome! I love the song Suede... but then again I have a new favorite song every day! 'Cept for Yes Anastasia.... that's my favorite Tori song of ALL TIME! But now I'm doing the waterfall thing, so back to TVAB! My mother is in love with Concertina, so everytime we get in the car she goes, "Oh, will you turn it to the concertina song?" All of these songs are incredible... although, I'll admit that it took me a little while to get used to it. But now, it has a place in my heart with all of the rest of her CDs! My second comment: Does anyone have a bootleg for the Mineapolis Minnesota 5.5 weeks concert? I can't find the date right here, but I could probably find it somewhere... if you can get me this (preferably a CDR copy, 'cos I have nothing to trade! I'm sorry, I know that's terrible, but I really have nothing. I can get you CDRs or even tapes, but I don't have any boots or stickers. sigh) please email me personally. I'd really really appreciate it. Oh shit! I gotta go! I've already missed the first 5 minutes of the X-Files (my show). Talk to you guys soon! Lov ya'll so much! Liz PS.
