Seattle Tori show and pre-concert get-togethers

First, about the show:  I noticed on one of Tori's albums she thanks 
Bosendorfer.  For those who don't know, Bosendorfer makes one of the 
finest, if not THE finest, pianos in the world.  UW has one at Meany 
Hall they bought in the late '70's, list price at the time was around 
$75k.  Let's hope Tori gets to use it.  It's HUGE, I think 11 or 12 
feet long, and very shiny black.  If anybody gets to talk to her, they 
might ask her how she likes it.

Now, about the get-togethers.  Not being on rtd mailing list, I didn't 
realize that some people there were planning to get together at the 
Last Exit.  I had actually considered the Last Exit, but decided on 
Giogio's.  Since I've told a bunch of people about it, we're going to 
stay there.  No hard feelings, in fact, I think it's great there's 
enough interest to have 2 gatherings!  I also didn't realize the Last 
Exit had moved, sounds like it's real close to Giorgio's.  So, for 
those who haven't committed themselves, you have your choice - or you 
can even go back and forth between the 2!  Also, while Giorgio's serves 
alcohol, I'm almost certain that we will be in the restauraunt portion 
and minors are welcome.  I told them people might be asking for the 
Tori Amos party.  Maybe I'll wear my parrot tie, so I'll be recognizable.
