Attended a Fleetwood Mac convention in 1990 in Virginia Beach, VA run by the old Rumours fanzine.. We had a lot of fun. At one point there was like 40 people in my room, it was my birthday. One morning we were at the pool and watched housekeeping go into my room. She was in there for 2 hours.

I wasn’t at the “90 Rumours Convention” but I was at the Rumour Convention held 7/6-7/7 in Winston-Salem NC. We had a blast or at least a few others and I had a blast. I have a 2 hour video of the event that Terri Nissbaum sent me. Very professionally edited and mixed. I need to dig it out and transfer it to DVD. We got drunk with Joe Admire in the hotel bar and you folks knowing Joe might be able to picture it?

I wonder what happened to all those fans too.

Joe, Ann Morgan, Diana Bennett, Kathy Mulvaney, Heidi Wallace, and so many others. I still have all the old Fanzines. The Velvet Underground, Dreams, Rumours. Those were the good old days.

I heard Pete Hass passed away from us. I would imagine all these people are still fans. A few might be embarrassed to get into the fan community again because the last night of the convention got pretty wild. If you mix alcohol, fans and being in an atmosphere like that, those things are supposed to happen.

I’m surprised Ann held the convention in Virginia Beach. The NC convention resulted in 2 rooms getting trashed. She told me “Never again.” We lost touch after awhile and last I heard she was in Iowa of all places. Let’s have another convention. I’ll bring some treats.

Yeah the 90 convention was one big party. The first night we were there it was around 7:00 pm and all was quiet. So I got the radio I brought with us and proceeded to blast Fleetwood Mac music, poolside. All of a sudden people started to gather. The hotel if I remember correctly was quite large and there were people everywhere.

I wish I could remember more names but Terri

: was there along with Shelly and her beau, Veronica, Linda, Laura with the award winning smile and beautiful blond hair, Rick, the mother/daughter team, Nicole, Joe, Mike, (if any of you guys are out there...HEY !) It was my birthday that weekend so my friend went and bought a cake (which nobody ate

) One morning I woke up and there were bottles and paraphenalia everywhere in my room

It was all alot of fun and crazy

I was there at the Red Roof Inn in Austin for that weekend.
I remember meeting Brian Townley there and thinking he was so cute...I remember Barbara McLuin performed at a karaoke bar...I remember the big dinner one night where Bill Gamelson soiled his tie...I remember Chris Nicks showing up and chatting with him...I remember the 3 girls from Georgia and the top hats they wore...somewhere I have some video footage of the convention.

It was such a long time ago, but I remember having fun!

Oh wow, just found this post! I was at both the Virginia Beach, Rumours Convention, and the one in Austin in 92. I can hardly remember a thing from it except for one person who...um...did a singing performance.

What a trip from the past!

I do remember Linda, Laura, Joe, Curtis, etc.....

Heck, I may have been one of the gals in the top hat! What fun!

Yep, after all the silverware was gone, all they could serve was finger foods, then they got busted by the health department.

Pattie, just think! I'm sure we met at the convention...

How tightly woven the community still is amazes me... And I remember having a discussion with Mr. Chris Nicks because he blatantly told me he hates impersonators and people who dress like Stevie. We had about a 10 minute round of it while he was setting up his booth.

I got a chance to know a guy by the name of Frank Harding when he lived here in Minnesota in the late 90's, and I know he was there. I've heard some bad things said about him by someone who sent me a pm. Can someone set the record straight

for me about him please?

Joe runs a site devoted to opera gloves (don't ask), & used to hang in alt.callahans on Usenet.

Bandon · #28 09-01-2005, 06:36 PM

I was there, too!

DavidMn · #29 09-01-2005, 06:36 PM

I wanted to go, but you know, It was that old money thing....

If memory serves, I sat at the dinner table with Joe, and I know I had a drink with him at the bar. I have some stories of that time...but I probably shouldn't post....
