[JazmenFlowers]

hold on for further deets...

EDIT: so this is my idea. why can't we have a fan convention once a year somewhere where there's lots to do and see. like make a weekend out of it. start things off on a Friday night and end on a Sunday morning. just an excuse for everyone to get together and gab, show pics, trade stuff, whatever. it like hit me about 30 minutes ago. I organized something similar in 1999 (refer to MidSouth Fan Party on the Nicksfix fan activities; yeah, all, what 6? showed up). anyway, if no one cares or is interested, ok, but if you are say so. and I'll see if I can get a more formal idea together. picture it, StevieStock 2006...damn that sounds sweet.

pros? cons?

[amber]

um....I can't believe you posted a thread with no subject. F*cking egomaniac! :laugh:
"Oh, stay tuned! Swear!" :laugh:

[THINKABOUTIT]

:blob1: :blob1: :blob1: Jason...I'm in...you know others are out there!! :lol:

[amber]

Hey, I just kind of talked about that in the Lame thread. Good Plan.

[jannieC]

I would definitely be in. :wavey:

[ELIUD]

Where would it be? As long as its not in the sticks somewhere, I'd go.

[David]

Sure! I'll be there!

[DavidMn]

Dammit, I thought there was going to be an IPO oof Stevie Stock. I wonder how much a share that woud fetch.:laugh:

[macfanken]

Sure! I'll be there!


Lies!!!






:lol:

[pastalady]

I think that's awesome...
How about the weekend of NOTS?? In New york...have a gathering Saturday...um..afternoon, then a convention on Sunday....followed by a PARADE! :blob1: :]

[Sahara]

A Stevie convention would be awesome...
I wouldn't be able to go if it was in the States, obviously, but it sounds like a great idea. I bet you'd get plenty of interest.

[JazmenFlowers]

I really think this would be awesome. Fri-Sun may be a little much for some people now that I think about it, but Sat-Sun should be a good bet. as far as where, I was thinking somewhere like Dallas, Atlanta...there was another place discussed before but I can't remember where it was. I'm open for ideas. if nothing else, at least a group could get together to hang out for a couple days.

[GypsySorcerer]

I'd be up for it. :woohoo:

That place? Is Buffalo. :thumbsup:

Seriously, I had mentioned before that it wouldn't be a bad place, as long as it's between June & September when it's almost guaranteed to be nice weather-wise. Plus, people could see Niagara Falls while they were here. And it's cheap to get here & stay here.

Chicago might be good - a tad bit more centrally located. How about Austin? I'd love to go there. :nod:

I'd be in if everything fell into place (money, time off, travel, etc.)

Dude I'm so there.

[BTFLCHLD]

What about Vegas? :shrug:

[DavidMn]

I dunno. I like Boston. I know Stevie has always said that's one of her favorite places to visit.

[BTFLCHLD]

I think the majority of peeps would have to fly-in so it would be a good idea to take that into consideration when scheduling the location/date. :shrug:

[Rickypt]

I would go and help with planning. It would be great to tack onto NOTS, but the cost might be too high for a lot of people.

Dallas and Atlanta are good ideas because they are airport hubs and hotels tend to be cheaper. Vegas is good because you can usually get a cheap flight there and hotel deals depending on time of year.

awesome points.

I was initially not really considering scheduling something around NOTS...don't remember why I thought that...I've forgotten my reasoning behind it. :laugh:

Probably because you, as a planner, would be too busy getting ready to perform. :confused: :wavey:

oh, you're too sweet. maybe one day.

[DavidMn]

oh, you're too sweet. maybe one day.Not a problem. You're good, and more people should know that.:nod: I only have one request, and that is I've always wanted to be in a "Posse" Maybe I can be like one of those hangers on to your people.:laugh:

[JazmenFlowers]

ha ha. I must warn you. I work my posse. it's not a free ride. :laugh:

btw, I just added a poll to help narrow a location.

[Rickypt]

I voted for "other" because I think Vegas is the best option. Dallas and Atlanta would be 2nd choice, no preference between the two.

[BTFLCHLD]

vegas :woohoo:

[JazmenFlowers]

vegas :woohoo:
damn. I forgot to put Vegas on the poll!!!!

[SuzeQuze]

I voted for "other" because I think Vegas is the best option. Dallas and Atlanta would be 2nd choice, no preference between the two.

Is it though? Vegas has gotten pretty damn expensive lately. I vote for Atlanta because I've never been and Strand is down there so he would have to show up! :lol: Plus I've heard its a cool city!

Wait, or NOLA to pour in our tourist dollars which is really our civic duty anyway, right? It wouldn't be for us at all! ;)

[goldie]

Memphis!!!!

I just love Memphis. That's why.

Vegas on the off season, not around holidays, is pretty reasonable.

You could come to Atlanta and then we (including the Scotties) could drive down to NOLA and sing La Nicks and show tunes the entire way!!!!!! :wavey:

[BlackWidow]

COME TO LOS ANGELES!
I will show you all where Mindy Stein lives....:wavey:

I haven't been to Vegas in a few years, so maybe it's different. It's a city that has a lot to do during non-convention time that doesn't require renting a car or taking a lot of cabs.

I'm very hesitant to see New Orleans again, but I think it's a good choice also.

[skcin]

Well, I voted Buffalo, of course. :) But I would probably be able to try for Atlanta, Memphis or possibly Vegas.

[macfanken]

No cities in the west? :shrug:

[amber]

There is a notable lack of west coast cities, but I voted Austin, as I have heard it is really cool. Second choice Atlanta, ditto reasons. Lets have it in a season where the giant southern man-eating bugs are at a minimum, though. Please? *shudder*.
It would be nice to have it in a good "walking around, lots of bars and food in a fairly concentrated place" city. Aren't Austin and Atlanta like that?
And Strand, I vote driving singing Stevie and classic rock, instead of show tunes. That way we can sing guitar parts, too! :laugh: :wavey: :wavey:

[skcin]

^ Yeah, that's why I mentioned Austin. I thought that too.

I think the reason there are no West coast cities is that so far nobody's mentioned them in the thread. Jazzy posted the poll later.

[David]

I can't imagine having such a convention in any of these areas over the summer. The weather is intolerable. And such a convention would probably best take place during the summer, which seems to be when most people are out of school or able to take vacations from work, etc. Why would anyone from the West Coast, for example, want to go to Dallas TX or Atlanta GA in July or August, with its 105 degree temps & 80 to 90 percent humidity? What sort of vacation is that? A vacation for baby spiders, maybe, but not people.

Right. Clearly, if it's summer, it has to be in SF or LA. Actually, I like hot weather, because you can still be scantily clad late at night. When you're bar hopping.

Who said it would have to be summer? :shrug:

[JazmenFlowers]

Who said it would have to be summer? :shrug:
right. I was thinking fallish or springish cause I am b-r-o-k-e right now anyway from NYC. and, as Paula pointed out, I just took a general consensus of options for locations from those who had posted. I'm thinking once we get a few locations selected, we'll have a vote for where and when.

such as:

Boston, summer 07
Boston, spring 07
Boston, fall 06
Austin, summer 07
Austin, spring 07
Austin, fall 06

we'll see how it goes. it may be that we just say, hey, if you can make it to Atlanta on November 1-3, be there, we'll all be staying at X.

[JazmenFlowers]

NOLA would be awesome.

has anyone been to NOLA since Katrina? I haven't been since last April. It's only a couple hours from here though.

Memphis would be fun, but there's not a whole lot to do. I mean, there's Beale St., but that's about it.

[amber]

Who said it would have to be summer? :shrug:

Did you read his reasoning? It doesn't have to be summer, but it's true most people are less busy. Also, it is nicer out. It's the natural vacation time of year. I mean, I have school at all other times.
I assumed it would be in late spring or early fall, actually.

[Rickypt]

NOLA would be awesome.

has anyone been to NOLA since Katrina?

I just found out I'm going week of July 10th for work. Hmm, July in the south.

[JazmenFlowers]

especially NOLA. well, I'm sure you'll have fun. OZ is open (of course) and I think Bourbon Street Pub is too.

[Rickypt]

I wonder if Good Friends is still around? That was always my favorite bar. I would have "separators", which is like an alcoholic milkshake.

I've had some damn good times in N'awlins! :D

*slaps wrist*

no, girl, no!

seriously, if we can't reach a decision, hell, let's just plan to meet in ATL or wherever and whoever can show up, shows up...

Oh really. I would think it would go up for POLL again until you guys get it right... :D

[WelshWitchPMD]

That place? Is Buffalo. :thumbsup:

And it's cheap to get here & stay here.


Works for me!:thumbsup: Actually. I think that Boston would be a nice choice. Another great choice would be Philadelphia. I can't believe that nobody has mentioned it yet. Another one of Stevie's fav city. Of course it is a short and cheap fight for me.:laugh:

[foxyluva]

How about you all fly down to New Zealand for a few weeks and have our very own Stevie Stock on a beach :laugh: :shrug:

Really? I'm way more busy in the summer. :shrug: Of course, I'm forgetting people may be in school.

Phili rocks! I would go. :nod:

[David]

Who said it would have to be summer? :shrug:I'll go to a city like Atlanta or Austin in: November, December, January, February, March.

March would be fun because it's the general beginning of tornado season. Supercell thunderstorm activity adds electricity to an event, an excitement hard to pinpoint, a crackle to the air, pregnant with possibilities.

I vote for:

1. Prescott AZ
2. Taos NM
3. Pacific Grove/Monterey CA
4. Olympia WA
5. Sand Point ID
6. Cape Cod MA

Taos is a truly stunning place.:nod:

Looks like NYC & Atlanta are in the lead, along with Other.

Does everyone else have their hopes up that Strand would put us all up at his place? :D

[DestinyRules]

Phoenix, AZ. Perhaps in late October (or as one classic rock station that used to be in my area called it, "Rocktober").

[ELIUD]

If we're going to do it in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area we just oughta call this what it is...a stalkathon, 'cuz you know we'd have to hunt her ass down.
