God bless you Alex! I'm so happy for you to have wonderful memories of this week with both Stevie and Olivia! I will keep you and your mom in my prayers too. I enjoyed your review very much and I loved everyone's photos too. Thanks to everybody for sharing your beautiful stories and it's like I got to be there with all of you too!!! Stevie's fans are the best:xoxo: I need to go watch Stevie now on Jimmy Fallon:nod:

[DavidMn]

believe it or not, I am still crying over this night. Thank you all for the beautiful pictures, and wonderful memories I will always cherishThere arent many more devoted fans than you my friend. I tip my hat and bow to your devotion. I am really happy that I've gotten a chance to get to know you a little bit at a few of the shows. I consider it a priveledge to have met you.:cool:

[iamnotafraid]

It was so great to read all of your stories and to see the pictures.
I'm very happy for all of you.

[DavidMn]

you know, just the fact that the guy won the stevie "look-a-like" contest is a real insult to stevie and her beauty. if i were her i would bitch-slap whoever chose him.Wow, all I can say is jealousy is not a good thing. You dont even know him and yet you decide to make such a harsh post about Alex. I think that says alot about your character and lack thereof.....:mad:

[Torri]

Just wanted to chime in with another thank you to everybody for sharing your stories and pictures with those of us who couldn't go...and yay, Alex! :xoxo:

[GODDESS6]

I'll try to post more tomorrow night. Right now I need to get some rest. Here are a few more of Alex and one more of just Stevie.

Ok, I think this might be a rather long post, but I have so much to say about these past 2 days. I normally don't post much anymore, but a few people did ask me to write my story, so I will try my hardest . I am still on cloud nine. I was the original person who posted the thread about this signing. I knew that I had to be there. I originally wanted to be there monday, because since this was Stevie's first time doing a signing, I figured that it would be too crowded and I didn't want to pass up this once in a lifetime moment. When I first found out about this, I asked my boss for both monday and tuesday off. I was prepared to wait 2 days if I had to. The only thing I had to worry about was finding someone to take care of my mother. Those that know me, know that since last June, I have basicly given up my life to take care of my mom. She had a major stroke last June, on top of having triple by pass a few months before that. She can no longer walk, or do anything for herself. I also get up at 3 in the morning to get her showered and dressed because her kidneys are basicly gone, and she has dialysis 3 times a week. I now have to work shows around her schedule, but she wanted me to do this. I couldn't get anyone to take care of her tuesday morning and get her to dialysis, so I couldn't leave for the city until 5:30 that morning. I was nervous, because I was told the night before that people had already started lining up. I finally made it into the city a little after 6. Once I made it to the store, I started to feel a little bit better. There was only a dozen or so people in front of me, so I knew that I would get my chance to meet Stevie. I was ok with the fact that we were told that no pictures would be allowed. I was also expecting just a half a second with Stevie. I would find out later, how wrong I was about that. I planned on meeting a few friends that morning, and since I got there first, I started calling asking how much longer it would be before they got there. About an hour later my friend Linda showed up. I wanted to wait with her, so I let the few people behind me, go in front of me. That really was the only fair thing to do. A few hours had passed and we were allowed into the store, 10 at a time to buy our cd/dvd's and then told to go up to the fourth floor where we were given our seats. I was seated in the second row, center and had a perfect view of the stage where Stevie would be signing in a few hours. I was surprised at how orgainized the whole event turned out to be. We were allowed to leave our seats and roam the store. Everyone was so nice and we all watched out for each other. I smoke, so I did go out several times during the day to smoke and to make a few calls back home. It was like a big Stevie party and it gave me the chance to get caught up with so many freinds that I haven't seen in several years. I really felt so much love that day. It amazes me how many people knew who I was, by seeing me over the years at so many shows accross the country. While I was waiting outside, a lovely man from from Austraila said that he remembered me from a show at Jones Beach several years ago. It was also great to be able to spend some more time with whom I call my partner in crime, Pattie.

Several hours had passed by this time, and it was great that they played Stevie while we were waiting. The time was getting closer. I decided to take out my Stevie shawl that I was lucky enough to have gotten several years ago when I was living on the west coast. Something in the back of my mind told me to bring my shawl with me that morning. I have worn it a few times over the years to some shows, so I decided to break it out of my bag and put it on. I was getting excited, so I put it on and several people came up to me wanting to take pictures with me. It was all just in the fun of the day. One of my friends whom I was with, I hadn't seen for awhile and after looking around for her, I saw her talking to Liz Rosenberg. I decided to go up to my friend and also say hello to Liz. Liz was very sweet and we both had similar rings on. She liked mine and of course I loved her ring. It's basicly a knuckle ring, and I was given mine several years ago, when someone walked up to me and said you are my knight in shining armour and put it on my finger. I thought that was such a romantic thing, and I have always treasured it since. By this time it's a little after 6 and I decide to take my seat once again. One of my other long lost friends came up from behind me and told me to come with her and that we would be meeting Stevie and would be having our picture taken with her. For a second, I didn't believe her. I started crying right then and there, and didn't stop for 20 minutes. I was again introduced to Liz and I couldnt stop shaking. I had to run back to my seat and tell my friends what was about to happen. We had a few minutes before we would have our picture taken, so I called home and cried to my mom, who was so happy for me. She was the one who bought me my first set of Stevie tickets back in June of 83 for The Wild Heart tour. It was a pair of front row tickets for the Meadowlands show, and it was my graduation gift. Anyway, I know I am getting off track here, but I still cry thinking about all that happened that night. Stevie finally came up, early I might add and we were brought to the side, where we waited for the press to take Stevie's picture. I was one of the 3 lucky few whom were chosen to have our picture taken. I really thought that we would pose for 1 picture and be taken away, but one by one, the three of us were introduced to Stevie. I was last. I can not say enough great things about Liz. She really made me feel comforatble and helped calm me down before I was brought before Stevie. The three of us were introduced and away the photographers went, taking our picture. It really is scary up there, all you hear is look this way, look that way, but meanwhile, you really are blinded by all the lights going off in your face. I told Ashley that I would give Stevie a message for her, which I did, while our picture was being taken. It seemed like time stood still while we were up there. I can now see why Stevie doesn't like the flashes at concerts. You really can't see a thing while they are going off, and for someone with bad eyesight, it makes it that much harder. Everything that I have wanted to say to Stevie over the years, at that moment, I couldn't remember. As nervous as Iwas, Stevie calmed me down until they whisked her off to start the signing. I was then asked to say a few words for Entertainment Tonight. All I remember was shaking and crying uncontralably at that point. The three of us were asked to also write our names and addresses down so that we would be able to get copies of our photos. It took me a few minutes to realize that I still had to go up and get my cd/dvd's signed and that I would again have another moment with her. When it was my time to get go up, they stopped the line so that Entertainment Tonight could interview her. All this was happening while I was on the stage waiting for her to sign my stuff. I didn't mind waiting at all. When they finished, I went up and once again, Stevie took my hands, and somehow she knew, actually I think everyone in the store knew by that point how shocked and emotional I was, and she calmed me down again. I did say a few things, and I also told her which other shows I was planning on attending. I also brought along a beautiful painting that someone very dear to me, gave me, that I will always treasure. I knew that she wouldn't sign anything other than the cd, but I had to try anyway. She loved the painting and it will be signed at another date. I really thought that my legs would give out right then and there, but somehow, some guardian angel was watching me and somehow got my feet to move so I could slowly get off the stage. Everything was moving in slow motion at that point and so many people were so happy that I had that moment with Stevie. Once I was barely able to contain myself, I wanted to get out of that store. I do need to thank everyone who was there in the store that night for making me feel so loved, and just to have so many people happy for me, really overwhelms me. I still cry when I tell what happened this night. With everything that is personally going on in my life, this moment will help me thru it. I also want to thank Pattie for coming with me that night and today as well. Again, for everyone that really knows me, knows that besides Stevie, my other favorite is Olivia Newton-John. If I could trade places with anyone in this world, it would be to trade with Steve Real, Stevie's vocal coach of many years, and he also works as Olivia's back-up singer. Steve has been so sweet to me over the years at the many Stevie/Fleetwood Mac/ Olivia shows I have seen. Again, I am all over the place with this review. I also need to say that once I did manage to make it out of the store, some press people were outside and asked me to show my painting and stand in front of the line so that they could get some pictures. While doing that, I also was able to see a few more long lost freinds, and I was able to exchange emails, ect. It was weird also walking away from the store, having people thru-out the city recognize me on the street from this night. I was both flying high and ready to drop. I hadn't slept the night before, so I had basicly been up close to 40 hours by that point, and I knew that I had to try and get some sleep if I wanted to get up in time this morning to meet Olivia Newton-John. I found out last week that she was going to be on Good Morning America this morning. And as luck would have it, my brother happens to be good friends with the VP of ABC here in the city. So I was given VIP tickets to the taping this morning. It was neat being able to see the studio and get a tour while the show was on air. Anyway, they knew I was there for Olivia, so during her segment, they had her stand in front of me so that I would be behind her during her short interview. For some reason, she doesn't make me nervous at all. She really does have a heart of gold, and I haven't seen her in a few months, so it was nice to say hello again and finally meet her husband. I did manage to film her while she met Cloris Leachman. I thought I would start laughing when Cloris came out. It was a private little joke between me and Pattie, but she really amazed me. Of course I loved her on the Mary Tyler Moore show, but my all time favorite of hers was High Anxiety. I loved her as Nurse Diesel. Anyway, after the show was finished being filmed, the audience is given the chance to have photos taken with the hosts of the show. I really didn't want a picture with Diane Sawyer, so I asked Pattie if she wanted one, and she didn't, so we went out the front door. I should have stayed, because I didn't know that Olivia was still in the studio backsatge and that was the way me and Pattie should have left the show. I decided that since Olivia left right after her segment, that she was gone, but I decided to still have my smoke around the side entrance where the stage door is. I did ask if Olivia left yet, and they said no. I should also say that I did say hello to Olivia from Steve and she knew that he was on tour right now with Stevie. I forgot to ask her if she was going to any shows this tour. Oh well. Anyway, she finally comes out, and the only people waiting for her are the usual ebay scum who only come with several pictures that they only sell on ebay. One was rather rude to her, but she handles herself well. I did have a picture of us that is the only one I havent gotten signed of the two of us and asked her to sign it. I didn't have a sharpie, and I politely asked if she could borrow the sharpie so that I could have my picture signed, and they refused. That is why I think they are scum. They got their multipe signitures and left. She did manage to get a sharpie and she always signs my pictures different than she does others. She really has been very sweet to me over the years, even asking how my mom was. I had a rare cd with me as well and gave it to Pattie so that she could have something signed. Pattie means alot to me, so of course I wanted her to have it, and since I asked Olivia to sign it for Pattie, she did. After she finished signing, she didn't get into a car but walked to her hotel and grabbed something to eat at the front window. I really couldn't have asked for a better 2 days. I have been put thru so much over the years, and especially these past few months. I normally see several shows every tour, but this time, I really have to choose because I have to be at home 24/7. I also want to say how much I love my mom, because I also want to say, that she knows that I have given up my life to take care of her. I really haven't been out much since this all happened. I might have gone out a total of 10 nights, so I needed this more than anyone can realize. Once I got home this afternoon, I found out that nobody once got my my up for the bathroom, nor feed her or gave her her meds. I feel so guilty now about leaving to do this for myself, but everytime I called her to check in on her, she just wanted to make sure that I was having a great time. I realize how lucky I have been these past 2 days, and feel really blessed that I was given this time and was chosen to have my time with both Stevie and Olivia. I honestly wish that everyone here will have the same chance that I was given with Stevie. This really helps me more than anyone here will ever know. And finally, thank you Ashley for making me feel that when things get bad, and I feel like giving up because it is sometimes too much for me to handle, that I really have nothing to complain about and that I can and will get thru this and that I have really nothing to complain about. You really are an angel. I love you for that. And lastly, Kathy, I wish you were right besides me, and I know you were in spirit. I will try to post what few pictures I did manage to take later this week.

Well that is just wonderful! While reading this I definitely felt your passion. It couldn't have happened to a better person~!
(I met you & Pattie with Jan in AC a few years ago)

[eric51078]

That was a Ledgie, but I forget who.

That was me that she was joking about throwing out! Then she laughed and blew me the kiss! I still can't get over it!

Alex it was so nice to meet you and I am so thrilled for you!!! You deserve it!!!

[eric51078]

So I really wanted to say how cool is was to meet everyone at the signing.
Alex, Darla, Patty (I missed you again but you were talking to a friend of mine for a while), Tiff and Co., My crew, Curtis (was sitting behind us), Kim (sorry I missed you again), Strand (I did see you bouncing around), and for all the others that went that I did talk to and I cant remember...it was great meet you! For those I didn't talk to..I am not a snob...just a bit shy...it's tough not being able to put faces to screen names! Again thanks to all for making it a wonderful experience!

Eric

[steviechaser]

Alex!! I am soooooooooooo happy for you! I'm sure this will carry you through your trials for a long time to come! This was meant to be! It was a long time coming! You deserve every second of this amazing experience. Stevie touched your very soul and this will give you the strength and wisdom you need to carry on. And you're one incredible son! Your mom is so blest to have you. And I'm sure she knows that. You meeting Stevie probably meant more to her than any meds or treatments or care that she needs. I'm sure this warmed her heart and gave her much peace and happiness.
This is just incredible! Again, I'm so very happy for you and I'm grateful that you shared all of this with us.
your friend (at least I hope so),

Pattie they are aweswome pictures....
How great. Mine came out nothing like yours.....
But it was a wonderful day......Stevie is an angel. I hope she does
this again.......
Darla
P.S.
I sent you the address for the DVD'S

AWESOME pics Pattie!! Like ALWAYS!!

[darla]

OMG I'm glad you told her about the African village. She must have gotten
a kick out of it. I am so glad you didn't get shuffle:] I hear ya, you wanted your
time with her after 7 hours......I could only imagine how the people
outside, they didn't hear the rules...So glad for you too and sorry about
that (nut) sorry some people can be annoying they don't mean to.
LOL
Darla

QUOTE=strandinthewind;811468]Well between the angry Asian beyotch behind the desk and the old guy infront of me droning on about some African village (I mean really :rolleyes: ) - I almost got lost in the shuffle :eek: But, I very politely stood my ground and she realized what had happened. She then spoke very briefly to me and I thanked her. I also told her that the guy before me was talking about some African village (I think he invited her there while kneeling at the desk) - she laughed and then was manhandled to the next person. I hated to be pushy and/or possibly hurt the really nice guy behind me's time with her, but there was no way I was being shovwd out of there after waiting seven hours without speaking to her. I was very polite about it. So, I am pretty sure there was no harm done and I believe she got what was going on.[/QUOTE]

[mcphoto1021]

hey i'm the "really nice guy" who was behind you! they let me on with my yahoo address. it's been great seeing all the photos and videos from the other night! we were treated like cattle, i was waiting for the whips to comeout! lol! also did you notice as soon as we got up there, the word to all the workers was "we have to speed it up!" how much faster could she have signed!:]

i started reading the rest of this massive thread last night
and i just have to say
some of you said Stevie seemed a lil nervous about this, first time and all
but from what i gather, you guys were all very well behaved, everything went well and i am so very impressed with your stories and how well it all went down, despite the # of people there
i know it wasn't all Ledgies, but props TO the ledgies that were there
makes me so happy to hear these stories
and how nice Stevie was to all of you :thumbsup:

well done

[starshine]

I"m happy all that got there cds/dvds signed & there stories ....I'll have to go back & re-read some of them.....it'll take to long right now.....I just wish all of us die-hards could get stuff signed. Unfortunately, I live in Michigan....so couldn't do it....don't think I could anyway. I have major feet problems so standing for all those hrs would totally just kill me even for Stevie I couldn't do it.
I would love those large posters that were behind Stevie......there a good size too....
I've already seen signed dvd's and cds on ebay ......horrible high too.....'if' they were more afforable I'd buy one but 'not' at those high prices.....not worth it to me....not for anyones auto. I'd really love those 2 auto tambo's those are great looking....oh well...thanks for everyones stories......:thumbsup:

[StreetAngel86]

how freakin' ADORABLE is she :xoxo:

[steviescreature]

Hello, friends. I am the Creature of the Night, and I am new to The Ledge. I discovered this only when stevienicks.info folded. I have learned so much from you people including the signing I attended with many of you. I had the same experience as most of you, that it was amazing and unforgetable. I was afraid I would not be able to keep it together when I was in front of Stevie, but I was a man on a mission. I was trying to wrangle an interview for the small N.W. Jersey radio station I am on. I knew I could not take too long, so I wrote out a personal invitation to her, and a more lengthy letter for Karen. I had read some of the posts mentioning Karen before and I was worried. She and I spoke for a few minutes, and she seemed interested in what I was saying, and promised to read the letter and to pass it on to H.K. Whether anything will come of it, who knows, but at leastthe mission was accomplished as far as getting the information into the right hands.

The main reason for this post however, is to share the experience of my friend who went with me. I read in an earlier post that the writer was "not enthralled" by Stevie until they were looking into her eyes. Same with my friend. He quite frankly, couldn't give a hoot in Hell about Stevie Nicks. His whole function that day was to help me navigate the subways, and try to photograph me with Stevie somehow (it didn't happen due to the sardine can approach to lining us up on the stage). He was bored out of his mind all day. I didn't keep track of him while I spoke to Karen, but we met up on the third floor afterward. He said to me, "...Jesus, when she took my hand, and looked me in the eye, and said hi to me, I felt a shiver go through me like I never had before. I never felt anything like it. She is amazing!" No kidding. Now, I don't think he will ever convert to Nicksism, like me, but I know he'll never rag on me when I talk about how I feel about her again.

Thanks Ledgies. If not for you I might not have known about this signing, and might never have had the opportunity to meet Stevie on a night that I will be talking about on my show for a long time. I met some of you, and have already benefitted from it.
Thanks also for posting your pics. I makes up for mine not coming out.

Glad to hear that you had a wonderful experience, but I think your friend's reaction, as a complete non-fan, was interesting- he pretty corroborates everything we have experienced. It's that "moment," when she looks you in the eyes and it's like a searchlight in the night has kind of pierced through your being. Your friend has officially been deep-nixed. :thumbsup:

[strandinthewind]

hey i'm the "really nice guy" who was behind you! they let me on with my yahoo address. it's been great seeing all the photos and videos from the other night! we were treated like cattle, i was waiting for the whips to comeout! lol! also did you notice as soon as we got up there, the word to all the workers was "we have to speed it up!" how much faster could she have signed!:]

Hey there - glad you got on!

Remember when we were getting the items we bought and were about to go on the stage and the guy in front of me started to cause all that trouble because he wanted items not on his receipt - he's the one :rolleyes:

And, those two BN employees were just rude. I totally get that time was an issue, but they went too far when they started yelling and throwing things. And, it was just those two because all the other BN people were exceptionally nice.

Nice to meet you!

[T-bone]

The thing about the hand-grabbing that I thought was neat (and she didn't do it for everyone, but a lot), was that... at least for me anyhow... SHE initiated it. I got the feeling she waited for people to say something a lot of the time.

I said thanks for doing this and at that point she was prepping the pen. When I said it, she looked up at me, right in the eyes, and made a point to make eye contact then said it was HER pleasure to be there. It was then that she reached out, across the table, for my hand and I was absolutely stunned. Not too stunned because I saw her holding other people's hands before me, but I wasn't sure she'd do it for me also and I didn't want to initiate it. I was absolutely floored. She reached right out over the table and man it made me feel special, even knowing she did it to hundreds of other people.

It was like she was reading vibes or trying to feel the person's aura or something. She was so patient, polite and... respectful to everyone. She even complimented a girl before me on her small hands which made me smile.

I usually don't get star stuck or stuff like that but I admit I was in a bit of a daze walking off, not sure where to go or what to do. Heh.

Stevie's tops. I hope to meet her again some day.

I totally agree with you! You are right though she did not grab everyone's hands and SHE did initiate it which I thought was so awesome. She reached out and grabbed mine too...I am still knocked out about this whole experience still. I was so different from any Edge Walk I have experienced!!

[mcphoto1021]

i thought he was trying to buy more stuff. oh well all in all it went pretty smooth and was certainly more organized than any others i''ve been to.

I usually don't get star stuck or stuff like that but I admit I was in a bit of a daze walking off, not sure where to go or what to do. Heh.

Stevie's tops. I hope to meet her again some day.

She held out her hands for me to hold...I almost died HAHAH

Isn't that the sweetest smile you've ever seen?!

What a special night for so many people! A special congrats to Alex on your magical adventure. All the best to your Mom. I wish her well. What a blessing it is for her to have a son like you in her life.

I'm feeling good, drinking my "morning" coffee, listening to Stevie's Live in Chicago cd for the first time. I think I'll make it! Thanks Stevie!! :xoxo:

Goodness! This is somewhat overwhelming. Put a granny sweater on it. Waddy is clearly horrified.

Stevie, "What's your name honey?"

Me, "um......can't remember, could I have a glass of milk?"

[LittleCharmer]

It's so fab to read everyone's stories about this signing.. Stevie looked beautiful :) She always seems happiest when she's with her fans..

[WelshWitchPMD]

I took a video of Stevie when she over at the press area. Youtube seems to hate me right now (I still have some Meadowlands videos to upload) so I don't know if I will ever get it on there. Anyway here are some screen shots I made.

I consider myself very lucky to have been a part of it all. The trip was sort of last minute for me as it was on the worst day to get off from work. Someone covered my shift that night and I took 2 days off of my daytime job. It was totally worth the $$$ for the 5:45am Acela train from Providence.
My only regret is that I didn't try to mix with the other people and talk but I am shy so I guess that I will never change. I could really kick myself after the fact, however. The few 'new' people that I did get to meet were very nice.

I so think La Nicks gave Liz Rozenberg that silk smock top. It looks a little like the one she wore in that pic with that guy from BN during either, I think, the SYW or the TISL tour.

GAWD. She looked damn good that day. How can she go from that and the awesome look at her Release Party to frumpy stage wear and attitude? I don't get it.

I hear ya. I was there at 9:30 am. I was talking to some people. It was great.
I just wish I rehearshed in my head what I was going to say. It seems like
anyone could have gone over to Karen (In the beginning) and ask her anything.
And I can kick myself for not doing that. I babbled poor Stevie listened to to my
babbling...She is so sweet. So don't beat yourself up...I was doing that the second
I walked away....

Did Stevie have a body guard or a security guy around?

[ontheEdgeof17]

Did Stevie have a body guard or a security guy around?

The guy standing next to her in the pictures acted as one, but I heard from other sources that he is not the bodyguard. He was acting that way at the release party, as well. Who knows?

I am beginning to think Stevie is a pretty big star. I liked watching these videos.
Imagine the terrible chaos that might have occurred if there had been a stampede, with onlookers trampled underfoot in a terrible tragedy. :shocked:
