I am surprised no one has posted about this yet:

Mick will be at 2, maybe 3 Los Angeles area Gelson Grocery Stores this Saturday the 29th autographing his bottles of wine.

I'll post the location and time info this afternoon when I get the chance to ask my sources. However I am sure you guys will now call the stores and beat me to it lol.

This would be the perfect time to ask about that rumoured Fleetwood Mac tour in 2006! (And what's Lindsey's plans are too.)

According to Gelson's website, only 2 scheduled signings going on in North Hollywood (Yuck) and Century City.

Here's the schedule of dates and times:

OMG, I'd go ask Ledgie questions in a heartbeat! I'd be like, "yeah, great, wine, right. But what about another album? Yes, very rich flavours on my palette, sure. Any plans to tour again? Very fruity, I agree. Yeah, pour me another. And Lindsey? What's he up to? And Stevie?" *hiccup*

Perfect location for him.
That store is the home of the 7 dollar loaf of Wonder bread..:laugh

On edit...Noho and Century City ? Good God. 2 parts of LA I avoid. I'd really rather go to Noho if I had to pick one.

Just getting to Century City is an epic nightmare. And once I do, the traffic is hideous, and most of the SUV's are driven by plastic surgery disaster Hollywood wives. I find the whole experience traumatic. In spite of the cool stores in the mall there. Actually, the Century City mall is the place in LA where I have seen the most plastic surgery. It is curious and shocking.
I should go more often, I just don't usually go west of Vine unless it involves an impressive paycheck.
No Ho is kind of dirty in spots, but there are some fun junk stores and always some artsy bohemian types doing something. Plus, hey, if I HAVE to go to a Gelsons, I will pick the one that is 15 minutes from my house:lol:

You're funny. NoHo is probably the better place to go actually now that I think about it. It will be probably be a shorter line.

That's what I thought too. I think Stevie is probably already in Australia, though.

I went. Mick said Stevie is already in Australia. He also said that Fleetwood Mac will be touring in 2007 or the end of 2006.

He also mentioned a Lindsey solo tour. I doubt that will happen. I'll believe it when Gift Of Screws comes out. :rolleyes:

He asked me how I heard about the meet and greet, and I said, "the internet," and his manager said "the Ledge?" It seemed like they didn't like the Ledge very much.

I was wearing my half moon necklace and he recognized it. :)

Apparently Jonathan Todd was there... maybe this is who Karlie meant as Mick's manager? And that would explain the dislike of the ledge

There weren't that many people there; it wasn't advertised much. He didn't mind answering Mac questions. I didn't taste the wine because I'm underage (I went with my parents).

So it makes perfect sense for stupid-ass Mick & his goon squad of entrepreneur dip****s to dislike us. I mean, d'uh.:rolleyes:

C'mon. How many times has Mick been bashed on here for being an idiot?:lol: :lol: :lol: If they read this place at all, they know our (most of us anyway) perception of him. Hawking wine at a grocery store probably isn't going to change that image!
PS- I would've gone though, if it weren't 2000 miles away. I'd have driven 20 miles though.

Yeah. It was nice. Figured I'd leave the reporting to Karlie though :). I didn't ask any of the questions from this thread... I meant to, but we started talking about something else and I didn't know how to change the subject without it seeming kind of abrupt. Anyhow, glad I decided to go.

David's right, take a look at the stats sometime at the bottom of the main page. There are a whole lot of members who just lurk instead of post, and a whole lot more "guests" who read but aren't even signed up.

:Looking at the Members List right now...:

The Ledge currently has 1,400 members without a single post to their name. Some of them registered way back in late 2000. What's the point of registering with a message board if you're not going to use it? Or is the ability to read public profiles extremely amusing? :shrug:

Oh, sorry. I really meant to say East. Not necessarily the coast. Anyway, thanks for the info. :)

Did anyone ask Mick about a (don't laugh) new album BEFORE the alleged tour?

EnchantedSLN

11-02-2005, 02:15 PM

It'll probably start at the end of 06, then go into 07. BTW, why must they always start on the East Coast? :confused: I never got that. I wish for once they'd start on the West so we could be worry-free for once about Stevie's probable bronchial/voice problems.

Has anyone tried Mick's wine? Is it any good? I'm going to LA this weekend and will pick some up if anyone can recommend it.

According to my friend, it's actually pretty good. The red moreso than the white, but I guess that would depend on your individual preference a lot too. She says there are better wines to be had for the same price or less, but if you're a fan it's worth picking up a bottle just to say you've tried it.

I'm actually having friends out from Philly this fri, sat and sun (the woman you saw me backstage with in SD and her daughter - you know who I'm talking about ;) ) and we are taking them to the tour-type stuff here in San Diego, then going to LA on monday actually. We are all having dinner with a Stevie "associate" monday night. :woohoo:
Thanks for the info on the wine. I like red wine, so I'll pick up a bottle.
