Tori Rawked
Okay, actually, she didn't really rawk, or at least the way I hoped she would rawk. She was still really good, but this tour was more of a rock thing, and she just didn't seem to pull it off for me. I was hoping more for waifish and her signature 'humping the edge of the piano seat' thing, but she had a band and everything, covering a huge stretch of her songs that I never really cared about. Still, she is amazing at the piano, and her voice and persona in concert were mesmerizing.
With her talent and songs, you can see why she has such a devoted and passionate group of fans, especially the large girl with her date at the end of the row behind us. When the guy directly behind us got up halfway through the concert to go to the toilets, she refused to let him pass. Her date looked mortified, but she told him apparently to 'hold it.'
This poor guy stumbles back to his seat, as a guy doesn't get rude with a girl at a Tori Amos concert. There is WAY too much angst in the songs, and it could trigger something crazy. Lots of people are already crying as they provide the chorus to Tori's songs. I tell the guy to step over my seat to use our row to exit, and the large girl says something rude to him as he goes past. He ignored it, but HIS girlfriend was having none of it. A dialogue was opened between the two women, mostly with neutral comments like 'shut the eff up' and other things that normally don't occur in Tori songs.
We switched from the drama behind us back to Tori, and when I looked back again, large girl's date was gone and never came back! She looked like she was having a very special Blossom moment, so I only kept staring back every two or minutes, as I'm a master of subtlety. She was staring straight ahead, ignoring everyone who kept staring. Momentarily, I felt bad for her, as this concert was not going as planned for her. Then I remembered that she had been triggered this by being mean. I'm pretty sure she went back to a house filled with cats.

Or drinking herself blind at a gay bar somewhere, wondering why she can't keep a man.

Well, I have now learned that I should at all costs avoid Tori Amos concerts. Or at least bring a bucket with me. Heaven protect us all from the devoted fan.
I probably would have just pee'd on her.

She cannot live with cats, they are too lovable and nice.

I found this entry accidentally while unrelated-googling, but I've decided I love you now. I hope you're okay with cats.
