Besides back pain, wrist pain is the biggest annoyance, and it's extremely painful, especially with her condition, which is most likely from simply playing so much.) and Beenie is--supposedly--the only person who could help dispel the pain. peace christina - ----- Original Message ----- From: Nadyne Mielke To: Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2000 10:49 PM Subject: Re: Fw: precious-things-digest V5 #272 > > At 09:50 PM 12/19/00 -0500, Shanna Seanachai wrote: > > > >> > MAAG is Me and a Gun.

I was more addressing the people who feel the need to describe this muffled noise as tori's greatest song yet, and say "it rocks so hard" when you can only hear fragments of it...

GREEK referred to the GREEK Theater in Los Angeles. (As opposed to the venue Tori played a couple nights earlier - The POND show - - AKA: Arrowhead POND, Anaheim POND, Duck POND - where the Mighty Ducks ice hockey team play.) The GREEK is reportedly Tori's favorite venue. Though with the speaker problems she had I doubt if it was her favorite that night. (The GREEK management insists the entertainment uses in house speakers, not their own.) The GREEK is an outdoor venue. A very intimate setting up high in the hills of Los Angeles. If you get so lucky to see a show during a clear night you can see a million stars in the sky. With the design of the place I think its the closest you can be to the stage and still be rows away - in my opinion. Having seen Tori in a dozen different venues I think it's my favorite, though seeing her at Madison Square Garden was very emotional. * MAAG = Me And A Gun EWF Soul Book is a book created by 2 fellow Toriphiles, Allison & Kristen, earlier this year to benefit RAINN. Its got 236 BIG pages comprising of written entries & art by 100 or so fellow EWF. If you'd like to contact the editors drop me a line. I'm proud to announce that recently several copies of EWF Soul have been auctioned off on eBay and sold for close to 100 a piece. WTG Allison & Kristen! (Let me say I'm hella glad I paid for my copies when it was still in production.) I'm going to finish off again offering my EWF Soul Book entry to those who want to read it. I've sent it to Black Dove already. (For those who have the EWF Soul book my entry is on page 110.) It should answer the "What did you and Tori do about the "fuckhead?" question. Let me say that I personally think he was some girls hubby or boyfriend who had been dragged to the show and didn't know Tori's music OR the story behind MAAG. I honestly doubt if he knew what the song was about, plus he probably was (as Molly and I both agreed) - drunk. My guess is he heard the "as he buttoned down his pants" part and wrongly thought this was a happy song about a sexual encounter. Of course I could be wrong - He could just be an asshole. Guessing Toodles ~ MysT *** It occurred to me that some of us, myself mainly, use 10 common Tori related abbreviations when posting. I'm going to take a guess that this is new to some and give their long forms. If I forget any please fill in the missing ones.

At that part?!?!? Did anyone attack him? If I had been sitting by him, I don't know what I would have done. The word "Fuckhead" would probably have escaped my lips very loudly, and I don't know what else I would have said, but I would have said something. I never know what to say until it happens. And if only I had been in arm's reach...How did she handle it?
