Does she get the chance to speak to everyone? Because, dont laugh, I was given Meet and Greet passes for a Britney Spears concert and I went and it was really strict and annoying and full of ten year old girls (which i'm sure doesnt happen with tori). Just curious how they work.

I have created a new quarterly Tori Amos fanzine called "yes, said". It's a full-colour mini-magazine devoted to showing Tori's more spiritual and expressive side. I guess that's all of her! hehe. Also there are lots of meet & greet pictures, song information, all sorts of wonderful things. If you can contribute Meet & Greet pictures for use in future issues of the newsletter, pleeease email me and I'll pay for doubles and postage or we can do a trade or something. I'd also like to have some stories from Ears with Feet who've met Tori or stories about why you listen to Tori's music, blah blah blah, some sort of Expression. It's good stuff. So I'd like to include some of that and pictures of you with Tori herself or all your Tori goodies. Email me if you can help or would like to subscribe. and thanks bunches :) I think this can and will be very lovely and delicious. j'ason ~~ t o r i p h o r i a - the Word of Tori Amos www.crosswinds.net/~nosaidyes ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2000 08:26:20 -0600 From: Holly Rae Bemis-Schurtz Subject: Re: precious-things-digest V5 #243 On 10/23/00 11:20 PM, Yessaid@aol.com at Yessaid@aol.com wrote: > Date: Sun, 22 Oct 2000 16:30:17 EDT > From: Yessaid@aol.com > Subject: Re: > > hi.

When I think of Tori saying rabbits, I think of when she says "wwrrraaabits..." and then something like "doop it ee doop it ee doop" before Mr. Zebra on TVAB still orbiting.... That is such a good part... Well, here's to the rabbits of '75. (that's me, too!) ~~plinkity plinkity plink~ H. R.

Actually, I've seen that they DO have the year of the cat in the Chinese horoscopes now. They never had it before, or never in the original Chinese horoscopes anyway. I've only seen it/heard it like maybe 5-7 years ago? Not sure when I first saw this...and being Chinese myself, I thought it strange since the cat is supposedly a bad luck animal for the Chinese culture (so why put it in the horoscopes, right?) And some of the books you find at the bookstores today have it listed as either 1) year of the rabbit, 2) year of the cat, or both as 3) year of the rabbit/cat. But, if you want to be true to the original Chinese horoscopes, Tori would indeed be born in the year of the rabbit. I don't know where the cat came from or why someone added that. I would be interested to know why and how the year of the cat came about...if anyone out there knows. toodles ~ leif At 11:31 PM 10/22/00 -0700, Beth Winegarner wrote: >Lauren asked: > > I was curious what 'Chinese' year Tori was born in.
