Tori Amos is at the Fox Theater in Detroit, Michigan tonight! Row H, a little to the right, just perfect since she generally faces the right more!

There are still decent tickets left...

WordPress for Dummies

WordPress For Dummies is coming out on Monday (a few weeks early), and it looks like it covers most of the new features that are in WordPress. I've been reading Lisa Sabine-Wilson's blog (JustAGirlInTheWorld.com) for a few years, but generally the tech info doesn't help me since I'm not a WP user. Since I've been wanting to try WP for a while now (I've just played with it a little bit recently) this will help me on my way. So keep an eye out and pick up a copy (or order it on-line) when you get a chance...

I just ran up to Border's to make sure it wasn't on the shelves already and it wasn't out, so I'll leave my pre-order with Amazon (and save 5% since it's a pre-order and the price is guaranteed if it drops).

It's actually in to be shipped with Three Fallen Women by Amy Guth who happens to be another blogger (bigmouth indeed strikes again) that I read. Gotta order $25 or more to get free shipping so it seemed a good time to get it...

Fox Theater

The ceiling of the beutiful Fox Theatre in Detroit, Michigan.

If you'd like some other images go to take a look at page 79 at Amazon (you must log in, sorry). And you can see a view of the chandelier from a different angle in 1928. And you can go back and forth around the surrounding pages to see more of the Fox.

I gotta say, my Treo 755p takes some great photos when there is enough light....

Tori Amos at the Fox Theater in Detroit - Review

Tori Amos was awesome! I really haven't listened to her newer stuff very much but I really enjoyed the latest album when she played those songs. She played a lot of older songs, which is what I like.

I've seen Tori a few times, I'm guessing about a dozen times now, spaced out over the last 15 years. So by this time, not only do I know where to sit, my mother knows, she specifically asked me on the phone, "did you get a seat on the right-hand side?", I'm surprised she remembered something like that. I did sit slightly to the right and before I went and I thought I needed to be a bit more to the right, but my seat was perfect! Plus, all the people sitting in my line of sight were short!

She's always a little quirky, but she didn't talk much so it was hard to tell. But after her first outfit change, she was halfway through the third song and she stopped, and asked the guys to continue to play, "I've gotta go take this corset off, it's killing me". They finished up the song as she came back out and she just went on to the next song :)

Yoav opened for her and her was great! Not sure how to describe him, but he was a good act, could have listened to him more. He had a short EP for $5, they really needed to have a seperate line for his CD at intermission (maybe a ca$h only line). Everyone ran out to get it and it was a disaster.

You can see more of my Tori Photos at flickr (they didn't come out very well, but you can see the different stage setups). If you saw my photo of the ceiling of the theater, go back and look at it because I added some more info (and sort of link to some older photos).
