   We arrived in Clearwater, Florida at 1:30 to meet Tori Amos. I had tried to meet her on several occasions before, but had always just missed her. This time I was determined to meet her. She finally came out at 4:30 after three hours of waiting. As soon as I saw her coming through the doors I immediately started crying. She was incredibly nice to all of her fans, and took time to talk to as many people as she could. I'm very glad to have finally met her, and hopefully next time I'll be in a calmer state to talk to her.

   Another thing that makes this experience unique was that Tori played completely solo, which is a first time for me, and the first time for her since the 'Under The Pink' tour. She opened the show with her frightening version of Eminem's '97 Bonnie and Clyde'. Throughout the night she enthralled us with classics such as 'Crucify','Past The Mission', 'Horses', and 'Northern Lad' along with songs from the newer collection. She wrapped up with a double encore, and a standing ovation. At the end of the night we walked away in a complete state of bliss of another kind.
