Yeah, that second show sounds like it was soooo awesome...one of the best 
single setlists I've seen for a Tori show.  I wish I would have gone up.

She played it in Champaign on the 17th...it must still lurk in there for a few 
shows. =)

Lovely.  I hope it didn't freak Tori out too much....

Vickie, I *knew* there was something I was forgetting to tell you when you 
asked me about my Happy Rhodes initiation: my friend who bought the album we 
listened to (I think it was _I_) told me she got it at this store in Indiana, 
and when the girl working there saw what she was getting, she said "Oh you 
must like Kate Bush too."  They then talked for a bit, and my friend told her 
about how she was going to see Tori, and the girl said, "I read in an article 
that Tori says she really likes Happy Rhodes." =)  That made me smile, because 
I knew that had to be because of you. =)  Anyway, thought you might like to 
hear that.


ObKate: I went to this record convention here today, and while I didn't find 
really any legit Tori stuff worth buying, which was what I was predominantly 
looking for, I did see a bunch of Kate vinyl there.  I'm not all that familiar 
with Kate's stuff though, especially more obscure stuff, and for $40+ a pop I 
wasn't going to experiement. =)  I know they had a Japanese original TKI 
vinyl there, and a vinyl version of NfE from some obscure land....I can't 
remember what country exactly.

They also had a signed Kate picture (one of those promo glossies, can't 
remember which), but there was no way I was paying $50 for anyone's signature. 
=)

What they didn't have, which I was sort of looking for and would have bought 
had I seen a decent copy, was This Woman's Work.  I think what it came down to 
was, if you wanted some good vinyl or a plethora of bootlegs (there were a 
couple Kate boots there), this was the place to be.  Otherwise, shop the 
internet. =)
