FRIDAY MAY 19, 2006

Greetings from New York City to our beloved Gypsies, fellow Stevie Nicks worshippers and all who have joined our newsletter since last year's NOTS. We are delighted to announce the date for our sixteenth annual NIGHT OF A THOUSAND STEVIES. This year's show will be held on Friday, May 19 at the legendary NYC performance club THE KNITTING FACTORY, scene of the past two editions. We thank you for your patience in waiting for the date to be announced - this is now such a complicated production that we had to make extra sure. Again we promise multiple rooms and floors for your twirling pleasure, including a Stevie-themed lounge with its intimate Cabaret Stage, and balcony viewing of the Main Stage.

This year's theme is STEVIE IN WONDERLAND, an homage to her "Red Stevie/ Stevie In Wonderland" persona, introduced on her 1989 album THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MIRROR. We expect interpretations of many of the great songs from that album (including ALICE, which will open the show) along with the pantheon that are performed every year. And from a fashion standpoint - if you ever wanted to wear red velvet to NOTS this would be the year for it! We are expecting another star-studded year and will have first news of the lineup in our next email, or visit the ENCHANTED GYPSIES forum on THE MOTHERBOARDS (motherboardsnyc.com).

We are again expecting a record number of returning Stevie Legends this year, but still want to provide the platform for new performers and interpretations. If you are a new performer who has already written to us since last year's show, you don't need to do anything - you will be receiving email with instructions in the next few days. If you haven't yet contacted us, please visit our website AFTER FEBRUARY 1 for details at www.mothernyc.com/ stevie and then get in touch. (We will ask you to send along materials either via email or snailmail - these can include recordings, footage, photos, web links, etc.)


Tickets $20 (plus Box Office charges)
Box Office opens early February - we'll email you as soon as it does
Tickets will be sold online at www.knittingfactory.com
By phone at 212 219-3132, extension 3
Walk-in sales at The Knitting Factory Box Office 10 AM - latenight

Night of a Thousand Stevies is probably the best-known Stevie Nicks fan event in the world, a riot of shawls, lace, baby's breath, twirling, tambourines and great performance. This event began at JACKIE 60 sixteen years ago with four performers, and has grown into a true spectacle, featuring countless interpretations over a marathon night. As always, this Enchanted evening will climax in a twirl of shawls and tambourines with the Battle of a Thousand Stevies near morning.

Dress: Like a White Winged Dove, in Wonderland: Red velvet Edwardian gowns, red ribbon-trimmed tambourines, Enchanted Eveningwear, red lace, velvet capes and cloaks, Mad Hatter Top Hats, ruched boot covers, hearts, Stevie/Alice In Wonderland morphs, Fleetwood "The Dance" menswear, or Victorian mirrors. Total Stevie Realness (All Periods).

As we prepare for a truly magical night, we are humbled by the very special joy and tremendous support that you bring to NOTS every year. We'll be writing again very soon with updated ticket, performer and DJ information. Special love to all of our friends from the Stevie websites and other online outposts for the Gypsies That Remain. Forward and post freely, and we look forward to seeing you on the other side of the mirror in May.

I contacted them last year about possibly performing so I can't wait to hear further details.

[skcin]

Hmmmm... I am off that weekend, and I could probably get a pretty cheap flight.

[ontheEdgeof17]

I'm so there. :wavey:

[jannieC]

I would give anything to be able to go to a NOTS. I am originally from NY, so lodging wouldn't be a problem (I still have lots of family there). Someday. Until then, I will live vicariously through you Ledgies who do go. ;)

[Neal]

My favorite album is the theme?! :shocked: :thumbsup:



Not that I'll be there to enjoy it... :distress:

I noticed that. I'm so excited. I need to start looking into costs for flight/lodging. Anyone know where the club is located...what part of NYC?

[SuzeQuze]

Its in the meat packing district I believe. So is Red Rocks (Cayote Ugly type bar where I may have danced on the bar, hehe).

On Edit: Jason, just send them a tape, you'll be a shoe in for sure! :thumbsup:

Crap, I'm going to be in Kenya when this happens. Dammit. It's also finally on a Friday. :mad:

Jason, I can get you the Friends and Family rate for Marriott Hotel if it's available that week-end. PM me if you're interested.

My situation exactly! :distress: I share your pain, mate. :xoxo:


It sounds awesome. Maybe I'll get to go one day. Till then I hope anyone who goes has a great, great time and we all expect full and detailed reports back. :thumbsup:

[JazmenFlowers]

thanks Suze...I think I will.

and Jannie...I'm so honored by your invitation. I've PM'd you.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

You guys kill me with these things....:lol:


I love you all :xoxo:

[amber]

Jimmy's gonna cream himself; Alice is the opening song. :laugh:

Looks like it's the weekend before finals...I don't love the OSOTM clothes, but that's okay.

Hey, Paula - I found air + hotel 3 nights (three stars, kitchenette in suite) for...
now it's $950. Last week it was $875 ish...
Course, it would be cheaper if I shared.:D

Hmmm...if I book soon, I can get air roundtrip for $130 on Jetblue. I was thinking Friday to Monday. I wonder if I could convince hubby to let me do this for my birthday this year. :cool:

I will have to wait & see what our tax return situation is - I'll find out next week.

I've never heard of jetblue, but looking at the site, if I left from NOLA I could get a roundtrip for about $175. That seems really, really cheap. It doesn't show a layover though and also says that price doesn't include government fees and taxes...is that usually a lot? It would be well worth it to leave from NOLA if I can get to NY and back for $200 or less...

Jetblue is a very basic, no frills, discount airline. I've never flown them but I know people who have & they had no complaints. It's nothing fancy, I don't think they give you a meal (of course, no big deal for my 90 minute flight) but they're decent. I wouldn't think fees & taxes should be any more than $30 give or take.

[ragandbone]

Is she a fan, or is she just making the scene? I had no idea...

I hope you get to perform!

[strandinthewind]

Trust me when I say it was PLASTERED on her face :laugh:

La Harry was higher than that fake bord could ever fly.

But, she is still FAB.

[SuzeQuze]

They do and they're fabulous. They have no first class so all the seats are bit roomier than normal. Their slogan is "We like you too." :lol:

Id like to hear some interpretations of the song...but thats about it. :lol:

Those things kind of freak me out..

fyi...cameras and personal recorders are allowed. if I get to go and perform, I will share... :thumbsup:

[Livia]

Jet Blue just started non-stop service from Austin to JFK, for like $150 round trip. Hmmmm....

I'm loving the whole Alice/Stevie morphing thing. Someone should go as a platform-boot-wearing-hooka-pipe-smoking caterpillar. :D

It's a great theme, and awesome for those who do not like to wear Stevie garb!

Or a shawl-wearing, twirling Queen of Hearts card...

Top-hat wearin' Cheshire cat...Okay, I'll stop now...

[Mageboy25]

Why in the FU*K can they not have The Night Of A 1000's Stevie's in LA for one fu*king year?????

I would never spend the $, unless I was loaded, to go to NYC for some 2nd hand Stevie drag show. Yeah I mean im sure some of the performers are great, but theres a karokee bar up the street from me already.

You would think with all the Fleetwood Mac locations out here, Stevie's house, Christines old address, the stalkers would flock!

well, for one it's tradition to be held at Mothers, the creators and producers of the show are NY based. trying to relocate such a production to LA for one year would not be realistic. Second, it's not a second-hand drag show. There are "female by birth" performers and there's much more to it than just a "drag show" - the shows, from my understanding, aren't continual - there are contests, etc. and the majority of the night is spent dancing to Stevie music. It started out in NY and just grew, I don't think they have any intention to move it. I agree it sucks that these types of events always seem to be on the other side of the country, but if you can't go, you can't go...but don't knock it and call it a second-hand Stevie drag show or some other derogatory name. And look at what you've got versus what others have...at least you're in LA...some of us aren't quite as fortunate.

Plus, if you can't justify going to NYC just for this, there are many other reasons to go there! Make NOTS just a part of your trip if you have to!

Go see Wicked on broadway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great. One of my coworkers already has that time off, and chances are slim to none that I'll get it too. :(

things aren't looking any better for me either...turns out we have a trial set for May 18...WTF??? :(

My thoughts exactly!! If I ever venture across the pond I'm definitely arranging it so I can get this in ....

Which'll probably be about 300 years from now but anyway...!

[ontheEdgeof17]

Just call off. :)


I need a traveling and partying partner! I wanna do Gold and Braid down the airplane aisle.

[Phoenix]

[QUOTE=JazmenFlowers] can't go...but don't knock it and call it a second-hand Stevie drag show

It is a mostly drag event though, isn't it ? ( I am not bieng mean or anything, I just wanted to know, cause that Is all that I have ever heard about it.)

I've never been, but have talked to a few that have. And it IS essentially a drag event...not that I'm knocking it or anything, cause I'm not! I mean...I have talked to people who have been, who do NOT do drag...but still have had a great time. If you love Stevie, loud music, clubs...you'll enjoy I think.

Ummm...Curtis. You might get "taken out" like the Florida dude. I don't suggest it. :p :lol:

Although I'm not toooo sure what Gold and Braid is though...:o

[Janis_no1]

I SO want to be there!!! Oh well, i get 5 concerts, then thats it and back to stevie drought!

I wasn't saying it isn't a drag show. That is, most likely, the main event, so to speak. I was focusing more on the "second-hand" aspect of the post.

The drag part gets the most attention, but, as Brandon points out, there is a lot of dancing in between the drag shows, as well as contests, etc. It's just like any other night out at the club, just Stevieliciously Steviefied(copyright: J 2006)

[ontheEdgeof17]

Although I'm not toooo sure what Gold and Braid is though...:o


Pfttt.....

It's the best dance ever!

[JazmenFlowers]

Pfttt.....

totally. gotta work the leg kicks!

tambo, head bounce, leg kick...2...3...repeat

She invented the booty shake during this performance. I swear of it.

[JazmenFlowers]

She invented the booty shake during this performance. I swear of it.
I would for sure agree with that :nod:

every time someone watches the HBO concert with me, they always go "damn girl, work it" - she was/is the shiznit as far as I'm concerned

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Well is there a video of this "dance"...now I am curious.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Priestofnothing must have worn out the videotape. It needs a DVD remaster badly....but here it is....the HBO version:

<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PFGh7pdfI-E"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PFGh7pdfI-E" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

[Sahara]

How cool indeed!! :D That's some serious dancing she's got going on there. And how big is that tambourine?! And did she _really_ throw it across the stage or is that my imagination ....??


Yet another DVD I must add to my collection.

[skcin]

My favorite part is where she carelessly whips the tambo behind her. If Waddy was nearby, she totally would have taken him out with it. :nod:

Curty - if I do actually pull this off, I may not be flying so don't wait for me to make plans. I'll PM you.

[GypsyBoy87]

i plan on making the treck from NC, roadtrip? hehe

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Ok...yes I do know this song too. It's on the Enchanted box set. Sadly placed on disc 3 which I NEVER listen to! But I do like it though...


The B3 Organ is divine in this song!

[GypsyBoy87]

how old do u have to be to get in ? does anyone happen to know?

[Brwn_eyes0511]

I think 18...I read it used to be 21 but they moved it down to 18.

Oh, Brandon. :( I know you're not much of a Stevie fan, but many consider Disc 3 the best one of the set. (Save Rhiannon, which I like but many here look down on with disdain due to the plodding piano. Our girl is no Chris on keys, that's for sure.) Anyway, Sleeping Angel, Violet & Blue, Somebody Stand By Me, Reconsider Me - all great, rarer tracks. Give it another shot.


I just had to say that. :o

aww...thanks!

Everyone I talk to just gives such love to disc 3...but I think I listened to it once and that was all...I HATE the demo of Sweet Girl (It NEEDED the Mac touch) and I don't like the demo of Twisted either. But now that I love Gold and Braid I might listen to some others...

Somebody Stand By Me is a beautiful song...but I'm soooooo used to Faith Hill's version, I just can't get into Stevies. To me, it's just the kind of song that is better fit for a vocalist like Faith.

And oh DEAR LORD let's not talk about that piano version of Rhiannon...:distress:

But I will give the others a fresh listen! ;)

[Rickypt]

Please listen to Sleeping Angel over and over this weekend and tell me on Monday that you don't like it. Won't be possible.

[Sahara]

I think 18...I read it used to be 21 but they moved it down to 18.


Bugger. I'll have to wait a while then so. :mad:

Not that I was going to get going to it before then anyway...

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Please listen to Sleeping Angel over and over this weekend and tell me on Monday that you don't like it. Won't be possible.

Ok...I'll give it a listen.

But I promise you...I have been known to "shock" with the Stevie songs I hate...and even the ones I like. :lol: So I make no promises

[JazmenFlowers]

Ok...I'll give it a listen.

But I promise you...I have been known to "shock" with the Stevie songs I hate...and even the ones I like. :lol: So I make no promises
I think Thousand Days, Battle of the Dragon, Violet and Blue, The Blue Lamp and Sleeping Angel are the standout tracks on disc 3, with Sleeping Angel being the best.

I think a couple of the demos are ok, I mean, they are demos.

If you don't like Sleeping Angel, I'll put yo ass in front of a firing squad. ;)

[Rickypt]

So I make no promises

None needed. :)

Off topic: BTW, there isn't a single Christine McVie song I don't like, solo or with FM, whereas there are several Stevie ones. I just don't love any of her song, with a couple of exceptions, the way I love the right-on Stevie ones.

Back on topic: I would really love to go to NOTS one day. Maybe this year.

Those first two in particular. Hell of a CD

EDIT: OK, on re-listening ... those first four in particular!

Hmmm, that is quite interesting.

There are lots of Stevie songs that I don't like. But the ones that I love I really really love!

With Christine there is not a song that I don't like...NOT ONE! Chicken Shack, solo, FM, compilations (ie: roll with me henry)...but where we differ I guess is...I LOVE THEM...LOOOVVVVEEEE them! Meaning I could never love a Stevie song the way I love Don't Stop for instance, or Get Like You Used to Be, or Songbird....

Back on topic: I would really love to go to NOTS one day. Maybe this year.

I don't think I would survive at Night of a Thousand Queers Stevies :lol:

[skcin]

None needed. :)

Off topic: BTW, there isn't a single Christine McVie song I don't like, solo or with FM, whereas there are several Stevie ones. I just don't love any of her song, with a couple of exceptions, the way I love the right-on Stevie ones.



ITA, although I don't dislike "several" of Stevie's. Chris's songs are good, I like all of them, they just aren't great for me.

I do, however, HATE Thousand Days. It's those horns. I have issues with horns in Stevie tunes (I hate Whole Lotta Trouble too.)

I don't think I would survive at Night of a Thousand Queers Stevies :lol:

Noo thanks. When I went to "Liza's Back" live opening night on broadway in 2002...(with lots of celebs...I almost wet myself)...a lot of the fans there were dressed like Liza! :eek:

Now I LOVE my Liza...but I just don't "get" drag...:shrug: I want to see the real thing...

[The Tower]

I think Thousand Days, Battle of the Dragon, Violet and Blue, The Blue Lamp and Sleeping Angel are the standout tracks on disc 3, with Sleeping Angel being the best.
:nod: :nod: :nod: :nod:

Her vocal is ..... there aren't enough words to describe how good it is. Even with that said, "Violet and Blue" is better. Why on earth she didn't hold that sucker for RAL I'll never know. That album would have been so much better with that and "Battle of the Dragon" on it. Too much coke, Kools and brandy for that chick back then, lemme tell ya.

I don't think I would survive at Night of a Thousand Queers Stevies :lol:
Of course you wouldn't- you'd be spending half the time getting plowed in the men's room. You wouldn't be able to walk at the end of the night, I'm guessing......

I talked to co-worker. There maybe a glimmer of hope. :cool:

hmmm...hot...sweaty...club...NYC...

Oh dear...:o

OHHHH...

I actually got to see that loser up close. He walked right by my seat before the show began! U-G-L-Y. Liza has done much better before...Mark Gero comes to mind.

Every guy she's ever done has been gay. Maybe she should give up the whole fag hag thing and try a straight guy for a change.

mmmm....noooo...

Jack Haley Jr....not gay. at all.

Desi Arnaz Jr....hmmm not sure about him.

[Rickypt]

I just read through this whole thread. Jet Blue is the best. Brand new planes, clean leather seats, a little more room than other planes, and TVs with about 30 stations.

Most importantly, the friendliest employees I've ever come across. And a very queer company; I even had an openly transgender flight attendant.

I won't fly any other airline.

And a question: is there a semi-large percentage of people who don't wear any Stevie-themed garb to NOTS? I'm just not a very creative person, but would love to go.

[Rickypt]

(I hate Whole Lotta Trouble too.)

Me too, yuck. I guess by "several", I meant more than a few, but less than 10-15 or so. Which isn't bad given how many songs Stevie has.

BTW, the video in your signature makes my crappy dial-up computer freeze for about 30 seconds whenever I try to scroll past your post! One day I will upgrade.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Ok. I've been listening to Sleeping Angel a few times...

and...

I'm sorry guys...but it's just OK. I mean I don't hate it or anything...but I don't LOVE IT like...say...Silver Springs or Enchanted...:shrug:

Maybe I should listen to it even more?

[Rickypt]

Yes, all weekend long. Feel free to take some breaks to have a snack or a glass of water.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Fine...then you listen to Temporary One all weekend long until you fall in love with it. :p


...ok...I will listen to it more all weekend long. I put it on my iPod, so I will listen here...I'll take the CD with me for my car...I'm going to give it another shot! ok?

Maybe you should watch Fast Times at Ridgemont High. It's the only soundtrack song of Stevie's that you can actually HEAR in the movie and makes a lot of sense in those scenes. :nod:

Good question - They're both Oscar-worthy...Maybe the academy thought Against All Odds was a better movie than Fast Times...As for me, I consider Fast Times a classic. :D

[Rickypt]

Fine...then you listen to Temporary One all weekend long until you fall in love with it. :p

Ah, that's one that I do love. I love all the Dance songs. There are quite a few of Christine's songs that I love (Songbird, Say You Love Me, Oh Daddy, Brown Eyes, Over My Head, come to mind quickly). I just don't love them the way I love Silver Springs, Sleeping Angel, Gold Dust Woman, SOTM, Storms.

My love for Sleeping Angel did come from watching Fast Times. I didn't know there was a Stevie song in the movie and all of a sudden it came out of nowhere.

[JazmenFlowers]

How did Violet And Blue get an Oscar nomination and not Sleeping Angel? :confused:
:eek: how did I not know this?

stevie's an oscar-nominated songwriter? I wish we had a complete listing of all awards Stevie's won or been nominated for. I suggested it to John a while back and his response was if I put it together he'd post it :shrug:

I I thought I saw it on the Nicks Fix. Now I'm wondering where I saw that. :confused: Oh well, I'm off to Google it.
On edit: Here's where I saw that: http://www.funtrivia.com/en/Music/Nicks-Stevie-1683.html

On further research, imdb lists Phil Collins song from Against All Odds as a nominee that lost out to Prince's Purple Rain. So I guess the trivia is wrong.
I think it would be cool to have a page listing Stevie's nominations and awards.

The drag part gets the most attention, but, as Brandon points out, there is a lot of dancing in between the drag shows, as well as contests, etc. It's just like any other night out at the club, just Stevieliciously Steviefied(copyright: J 2006)[/QUOTE]

I finally heard back from NOTS. There are only 6 slots open for new performers. I must submit an entry package. They will announce the new performers in their press release around March 19...I guess if I make it I'll have to figure out what to do about work. :eek:

also, I must submit my two choices for songs. here's my list. I need help narrowing it down. what do you guys think?

Beauty and the Beast, Stand Back, Fall From Grace, Gold Dust Woman and Fire Burning (for Curtis)

Question - do you think you'd have a better chance if you picked a tune from TOSOTM, since that's the theme this year? Or would it better to pick a more popular, less obscure tune?

If you think more popular, then I'd say FFG.

If you think TOSOTM - I have to add Doing the Best That I Can. I think it would rock live and you could make it really dramatic.

good points. I'm not sure. I wonder if they will provide the music? That's one of my questions. I need to sit down and see what I would like to do onstage. DTBTIC is a great song too.

[macfanken]

oooohhh... I think I might go this year!! :blob2: All l need is the time off from work, which hopefully won't be a problem.


btw, Suze... why are you going to Kenya?! I want to go there too!!

was $900.
You should go, that's cheap. :cool:

Aaaaaaaand I'm out. :( Tax return is going to be MUCH less than anticipated due to hubby's new job screwing up his claiming status. Since I've already spent most of that non-existent cash on other needed things, I don't see it happening unless I suddenly come into some $$$.

Yeah, Livia and I [well, mostly Livia :p] approximated our trip from Austin and it would probably cost around $1000 (air, hotel, misc stuff). That's still a lot of money for me to come up with :(

Oh I'm sorry to hear that!! Hopefully you and Jason can find a way and make it!:wavey:

My friend Charlie married a Kenyan woman, well they eloped, but they're going over to have a ceremony and/or reception and invited me. I'm really excited about the trip! We'll be going for 2 weeks. We're doing a safari and visiting with Wanjeri's family in the jungle. How wild is that?

I didn't make the invitation/poster, but I did at least get pictured on the mailout; that's cool.

The Brooke person on the poster does look a lot like Stevie. I just think they could've done more with the poster.

THE JACKIE FACTORY NYC PRESENTS
NIGHT OF A THOUSAND STEVIES 16:
"STEVIE IN WONDERLAND"
FRIDAY MAY 19, 2006
THE KNITTING FACTORY
74 LEONARD STREET NYC
DOORS OPEN 9 PM - 4 AM
18 TO ENTER, 21 TO DRINK
www.mothernyc.com/ stevie
Box Office open at www.knittingfactory.com
Greetings from New York City to our beloved Gypsies and fellow Stevie Nicks worshippers, as we twirl towards another Enchanted edition of NOTS. We are having so much fun with this year's "Alice" theme and will be going to print soon on this year's invitation - preview it at right! Read down for news of SHOW AND THEME, PERFORMER and DJ NEWS (including HATTIE HATHAWAY on Broadway), BOX OFFICE and a NEW PERFORMERS update.


THIS YEAR'S SHOW
THE JACKIE FACTORY's sixteenth annual NIGHT OF A THOUSAND STEVIES will be held on Friday, May 19 at the legendary NYC performance club THE KNITTING FACTORY, scene of the past two editions. Again we promise multiple rooms and floors for your twirling pleasure, including a Stevie-themed lounge and balcony viewing of the Main Stage. This year's theme is STEVIE IN WONDERLAND, an homage to her "Red Stevie/ Stevie In Wonderland" persona, introduced on her 1989 album THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MIRROR. We expect interpretations of many of the great songs from that album (including ALICE, which will open the show). And from a fashion standpoint - if you ever wanted to wear red velvet to NOTS this would be the year for it!


PERFORMER and DJ NEWS
We are still adding our final performers to the bill, but it's HUGE already. One big change this year is that perennial co-producer and MC HATTIE HATHAWAY aka BRIAN BUTTERICK is opening on Broadway in the exciting new THREEPENNY OPERA (starring ALAN CUMMING and CYNDI LAUPER) in a few weeks! Though Hattie will only be able to drop by and perform later in the night, due to this fabulous other commitment, she is still lending her tulle-drenched talents as a co-producer of NOTS 16. Meanwhile, fellow NOTS legend BELLADONNA (who has journeyed every year for over a decade from SANTA BARBARA) will be hosting Act One.

Other confirmed performers include "Enchantress of Ceremony" and event founder CHI CHI VALENTI, Returning Legends of Stevie Realness SHERRY VINE, AMBER GARBO (Las Vegas), NICOLE NICKS, THE HO-HOS (CATHY CERVENKA and JILL PANGELLO), TEXXX, JESSICA RABBIT DOMINATION, invite cover girl BROOKE (Tennessee), BILLY O, THE STEVIE NICKS EXPERIENCE (Des Moines), GYPSY WILD, THE DIVINE GRACE, MISTRESS MIWA (San Francisco), PURPLE GYPSY, JADE BARBEE, STITCH AND SCARLETT, SISTER CODIE, DOLLY DOMINATION and MISS KELLY WEBB. Our confirmed debuts thus far are JAZMEN FLOWERS (Jackson, Miss), Butoh dance company VANGELINE THEATER, MIRROR IN THE SKY (Asbury Park) and TAMMY FAYE STARLITE.

Legendary NOTS DJs CRAIG SPENCER and POISON EVE will also be back this year for the all-night Stevie/Fleetwood dancefloor that you crave!


TICKETS NOW ON SALE
Tickets $20 (plus Box Office charges)
Box Office is open online at www.knittingfactory.com
By phone at 212 219-3132, extension 3
Walk-in sales at The Knitting Factory Box Office 10 AM - latenight


NEW PERFORMERS PLEASE READ
Thank you to everyone who sent packages and web links, imovies and recordings for consideration as a new performer this year. We are in awe of the wealth of Stevie Realness and interpretation that has poured in from perhaps fifteen states and twenty cities, even as far away as Australia. If you have submitted and not heard back from us, that means you are still under consideration for the few remaining slots on this year's bill. We will be making our final decisions this weekend, and will let everyone know at that time.


SUGGESTED DRESS
Dress: Like a White Winged Dove, in Wonderland: Red velvet Edwardian gowns, red ribbon-trimmed tambourines, Enchanted Eveningwear, red lace, White (Winged) Rabbit, velvet capes and cloaks, Mad Hatter Top Hats, ruched boot covers, hearts, Stevie/Alice In Wonderland morphs, Fleetwood "The Dance" menswear, or Victorian mirrors. Total Stevie Realness (All Periods).


THE REST
Night of a Thousand Stevies is probably the best-known Stevie Nicks fan event in the world, a riot of shawls, lace, baby's breath, twirling, tambourines and great performance. This event began at JACKIE 60 sixteen years ago with four performers, and has grown into a true spectacle, featuring countless interpretations over a marathon night. As always, this Enchanted Evening will climax in a twirl of shawls and tambourines with the BATTLE OF A THOUSAND STEVIES near morning.

As we prepare for a truly magical night, we are humbled by the very special joy and tremendous support that you bring to NOTS every year. We'll be writing again very soon with new updates. Special love to all of our friends from the Stevie websites and other online outposts for the Gypsies That Remain. Forward and post freely, and we look forward to seeing you on the other side of the mirror in May.

And The Love Remains -

Chi Chi Valenti, Hattie Hathaway and Johnny Dynell
Producers, NOTS 16

That is so awesome that your photo is in the invite! I am looking forward to videos and photos from the show.

I am so intrigued by the Butoh performance , Vangeline theater. I can't quite imagine a Butoh performance to Stevie Music, but I wat to see it!
