B&N Roll Call

[ontheEdgeof17]

Who's going to the CD/DVD signing? Do we want to meet up at the same time so we can hang out all day together....and maybe form a snack list so we don't die of hunger?

[UndoingTheLaces]

Awww, have fun guys. I wish I could be there. I also wish that since Miss Nicks lives in LA she'd do a signing here someday.

[HejiraNYC]

What time do you plan on arriving? Depending on the size of the Ledge contingent, perhaps we should consider taking shifts? I mean, I loves me some Mama, but I simply don't do rain for prolonged periods.

[ontheEdgeof17]

I would think the rain would work in our favor. I don't see other than really die-hard fans standing in the rain at 6am. I might go....scope it out...and if it is raining.....come back at 10.....

....depending on what everyone else is doing.

[LikeAWillow]

I'm definitely in and would be up for shifts! I'm not sure what time I'm getting there yet, I'll be driving down from Boston early in the morning...

WOW.. great idea Curt! I'm not going but have a girlfriend who is.. and not sure when/ if she's gonna be there?? I think she mentioned around 6am on that Tuesday.. but wasn't sure.. That's a GREAT idea to bring extra snacks, and maybe safe someone's place in line while they go take a break! :thumbsup: I hope it all goes good - and wishing you all LOTS of good luck! I hope the weather holds up for you too!

I'm going to scope out the crime scene the night before... but I suspect that there are going to be some nutjob chiffonheads already in line. I can guarantee it!

You bitches had better get plenty of pics! :xoxo: I'm talking to you, my little french fry!

I was going to suggest the same thing... I am willing to take a "shift", the later the better.

My girlfirend and I are getting there at about 11:30ish, but already have plans for the earlier half of the day.

If we want to make a schedule, I am totally in!

[WildHeart69]

weather.com now says "Occasional showers possible. Highs in the low 50s and lows in the low 40s."

is that a brighter outlook?? (prob not...)

Personally I believe flipping a coin is more accurate than these weather forecasts most of the time. The NOAA weather site claims that it's going to be sunny and 60°F on Tuesday. Who the eff knows? :shrug:

I thought about driving in but I think parking will be a major issue. Where are you planning on parking?

[LikeAWillow]

I thought about driving in but I think parking will be a major issue. Where are you planning on parking?

I know, I was worrying about that, too. I drove up from Pittsburgh over the summer and was able to find a few garages with spaces and "fair" day rates, though, so I'm hoping that will be the situation again. I also have a good friend at NYU, and I'm wondering if they have any parking that I could get a guest pass for? Somehow I doubt it haha.

Yea, I am worried about finding parking.... I want to drive up because the train times for Baltimore coming back leave to early. Not sure how else I would get there besides driving :shrug: And I am sure traffic will be a complete mess.

If I can figure out my transportation issues I will be there.

[ontheEdgeof17]

^Why don't you guys park up in the UWS or UES....around in there...where there are more residential streets with parking rather than Midtown and then take the train down? There is usually parking outside my apartment.

[Enchanted_Stevi]

I am DEFINATLY going. My mom keeps saying no and that she will think about it...but I'm going to be 19 in 2 weeks and I need to be an adult and do things for myself whether she likes it or not.

Being an only child SUUUUUCKS because my mom is so protective over me and like will barely let me go to Boston with my friends....FML!!!

I'm in!! I just need the final ok from work, but I should be getting that tomorrow. Count me in for whatever...shifts, snacks, all of thee above!! I think it'll be fun for everyone to meet up. Not to mention help the time pass.

Thanks for the tip, Curtis :xoxo: I'll definitely check it out. Is your apartment Upper West?

[1sttimelongtime]

I am coming!!! I am taking the train down from Westchester at the crack of dawn!

[StandbackStevie]

i plan on being there around 5-5:30 i know its late but had to work and taking the train in will be taking the train from Fairfield into the City get out at 3 will get to the train station around 4pm hope to be in NYC like 4:30 i am going with a friend from work very excited and hope to meet stevie not counting on it im sure she will have a 5 mile line long when we get there...lol hope she plans on doing boston too?

[LikeAWillow]

lol hope she plans on doing boston too?

I pray for this every night haha. But since the signing corresponds to the release date, I have a feeling it's a one time thing.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Thanks for the tip, Curtis :xoxo: I'll definitely check it out. Is your apartment Upper West?

Yeah...I'm about a 10-20 minute ride to Union Square....depending on which way I go and the time of the day.....

Are welcome to stay with me if you like....I have a chaise and my roomie's bed....which is already taken....

Wow, that is incredibly sweet. I don't *think* I'll need a place to stay, but I would be eternally grateful to you if I could crash if something went wrong. Seriously, you are amazing.

It is sooo cool that ur all gonna see Stevie!! Oh i whish i could go!! A chance to meet stevie and hang w/ other ledge members (including the great Curtis!) WOW i, am, JEALOUS!!:nod:

[jannieC]

This is so exciting. Of course I'm jealous but I'm so giddy for those of you who are able to pull this off- woo!

Curtis- when did you move to NY? That's awesome.

[JazmenFlowers]

I totally almost decided to come to NYC for this, but alas, work has put a stop to that.

have fun Curtis...see you in May!

[iamnotafraid]

Good thing I know B&N's manager.
Got me one of the "wristbands" (1 of 300),
so I won't have to wait in line.

[iamnotafraid]

twas' a joke of course :rolleyes:

[WildHeart69]

^ Someone on Mick's board said they know someone who actually does work there and for U2 people camped out overnight and they did in fact only give out 300 wristbands.... I think I might try for an earlier train!

They also said that it was Stevie's request that no photos be taken (which, again, I assume to be no posed pictures)

What annoys me about this is when I called the store and specifically asked about wristbands they said they weren't doing that. I think I will wait til Monday afternoon to call again and see what the finalized plan is.

No one is going to stop me from snapping pics while I stand in line...not even Mama Nicks!

i am going...look for me kiddos! haha

[WildHeart69]

It actually looks like I can do an earlier shift... I thought the late show taped at 11am and it doesnt tape until 3 (and the lady said it will last til around 5:30 or so)

So if we are doing shifts can we start assigning times soon? I could do an X hour shift from whenever til whenever (as early as possible, I guess)... and be back at 6...just putting it out there

Your joke of 300 wristbands is being passed around as fact on SevenWonders (with the above post cited as the source), just so you know. Are you a member yourself there with the ability to explain your humor, or should I do it for you?

[WildHeart69]

The 300 wristband policy is plausible, however, employees at this time are saying there will be no wristbands...

[LikeAWillow]

Oh it's definitely possible, but the post I'm talking about speaks directly of I'mNotAfraid's comment about getting a band himself from knowing the manager. I'm not comfortable with fans making decisions about whether or not to go to this signing based on someone's sense of humor. It needs to be corrected for them that what was said was a "joke" and not insider information from a friend of the store.

:sorry: I didn't mean to come off so harsh. I just feel really bad for anyone on that board who didn't understand where the number was coming from. I went over there and posted myself to correct it, though.

You'll find your answer right beneath the post about 300 wristbands.
(sometimes my humour has some truth in it).

I did make sure to post the follow-up, didn't want anyone to freak out
and change plans. But I did want people to think about different ways
of making sure they get their autographs. Read between my lines people,
I can't tell everything I know. And who would want only the facts? It
would make for a boring read.

BTW, I'm not going to be there.

This was the very next post under the "wristband" post.

I know, the problem was the SW's crew apparently didn't see this, and a thread on their board was having a discussion about the 300 band problem. Don't worry, I did correct the problem :)

[iamnotafraid]

Don't worry, I did correct the problem :)

Thanks LikeAWillow. Two favors to ask of you...

1. Please tell them the sky is not falling.

2. Ask them, do they know that Stevie and Miley are making a joint apprearance
at the B&N Store to sign the "Cyrus Bella Donna CD"? (remake)

[iamnotafraid]

Forgot to mention the "Cyrus/Nicks" wristbands are cool. :thumbsup:

I will be there and getting on line at 5PM but if the line is too long...oh, well, my sister and I will just have a wonderful dinner instead...:shrug:

[Oykamu]

I'll be there! Unfortunately I can't get there until 5PM or so, but I would be willing to take a shift for someone who wanted to take a dinner break.

[flickersticked]

Hi everyone, I've only been lurking on here until now. I'm driving up from maryland in hopes of meeting stevie. We'll probably get there around 1 pm. hope that's early enough! It would really suck to come all that way and not meet her. Anybody done one of these things before? I don't know what to expect. Do people usually bring food/chairs/other stuff I'm not thinking of? Looking forward to meeting everyone!

If you want to take over for me and Sara at 2 (or a little earlier) and then
Oykamu or Bella Figura, if you guys want to take over a later shift around 5 we can try and arrange that...

Is anyone getting there before 9 or 10 am??? Sara and I can take over your post then and the rest of the crew can follow in on that post after me... Let's try and form some sort of schedule

I'm not sure if I'm going or not yet, but I just had a question about this scheduling shift idea. If someone who gets to the line at 5 pm takes a "shift" from someone who has been on line since say 11 am, what happens to the 5 pm person when the 11 am person gets back from their break? Do they go to the end of the line? Because if they don't, then it's really not a shift, it's holding places in line for people, and that's kind of not fair for the people who got to the line early. Imagine if 50 people decided to camp out the night before and you get in line behind them at 10 am when Barnes and Noble opens. You wait in line for 8 hours, then all of the sudden at 6pm all of their friends start showing up to "relieve" them, but when they get back from their shift you now have 200 people in line in front of you instead of the original 50, and you miss getting a signed DVD by one person?

that would be great, I'm up for giving anyone a dinner break if I can get a good spot, back during TISL, Ledgies would use a badge to identify one another...is that still being done? I still have my old one somewhere or just message me...

I'd be glad to take over at 2. The badge id sounds good so that we'll be able to spot each other. I'm so excited!

[ontheEdgeof17]

I don't see how the shift thing is going to work unless we all show up at the same time. You really cant come in at 5 and take the place of someone that was there at 9. Ya know? It's jumping line. :shrug:

[jkmaletic]

I hope all of you have a great experience!! Be sure to post all the details! :nod:

I'm hoping for a west coast signing - they do have a few weeks off before the next show, and Stevie will probably want to come home for a bit. If there is one, I will be there even if I have to call in sick! :p

BTW, are any of you guys calling in sick in order to do this? :lol:

Grow up. Being a Ledgie doesn't entitle you to any more than any other hard working person who has a mortgage, and getting screwed numerous times out of meeting Stevie doesn't make it OK to potentially screw someone else out of the same opportunity. You'd probably be the first person to raise hell if 20 people show up and get in line in front of you at 6pm.

in regards to your first and final sentences...the answer is no since I haven't done it in the past, I doubt I will do it in the future. you're the one with the t-shirt :) LOL, so I guess I shouldn't wear the T-shirt that says "I'll cut a B..CH who Cuts in line"!

you really shouldn't take anything said by a stranger on a messageboard so seriously...please re-read my posts and try to take them in the humourous and friendly spirit they were originally penned...

as far as your middle sentence, stop harping on how wrong it is...I originally agreed with you in my first response. but since you keep insisting: boohoo!! get me some tissues for all the fair weather fans which will be screwed by moi!!!

however if you are going to presume to lecture all here not just me regarding maturity and morals on a messageboard, put your money where your mouth is, after all, you've been a member since 2002....

and I'm not even going to mention the profiteers who do this kind of stuff for rock memorobilia resale...after all, they're trying to make a living...but due to their jobs, they can get online early and actually hire additional staff to camp out, line place-hold and jump as well!!!

I'm just calling it like it is. I think a few people misunderstood the idea behind shifts, and as Curtis later suggested it's really intended for people who arrive at the same time and not the same thing as holding spots in line for people. If that's what you are doing, call it what it is. If you think I'm lecturing by saying I'd be annoyed by waiting in line for 10 hours only to have groups of people who don't show up till much later get ahead of me, you are free to take it that way. What does that have to do with how long I've been a member here?

That might be true, but I don't see anything wrong with someone holding your place on line, if they then leave the line when you get there.

[Bella Figura]

the point is if you re-read my posts is that if you set yourself up as the Ledge's resident preacher, at least back it up as a supporting member. Frankly, I don't need to be lectured in three separate posts about the moral ethics of line jumping so I will take it that way...and that's why I'm calling you out, not the actual message you lectured but the implied reprimand to all the Stevie fans who just want to meet their idol...

please note the extra hires collect the extra signed autographs and for the profiteers to sell on ebay and at rock collection shows, they don't leave the line...and most don't become Stevie Nicks fans...

and it's the true fans who then pay for this stuff!!! wouldn't it be great if the true fans could figure out a way to circumvent these profiteers??? hmmm, I wonder how??? if only there was a way for true fans to communicate and support one another for these kind of events??? here's a wild thought, an internet messageboard might do the trick!! :angel:

[whitewingdove73]

I was a BN today. As everyone knows I can't go to the signing because of health reasons. I can't risk an incoming riot or standing or sitting more then 10 mins. It's a hassle.

But Like I said I went to BN today to pick up some book and I burst in tears when I saw this:

http://i44.tinypic.com/wuo0oy.jpg

what made it worst is my 9 year old niece saw me crying and thought I was losing it lol :D

A rep from BN saw me tearing up and told me she knows hell will break lose on tuesday, that she going to eat extra Quaker Oats to maintain more energy. And a few Advils. lol

Such a nice lady. She consoled me and all.:o Anyway, I had to take a picture of the sign from the BN store. Just to share a little something here.

I hope you all have a good time and take pictures XXOO :xoxo:

Look, my initial post is my opinion, and was not even in response to one of your posts. I do not need to be a supporting member to have an opinion, and furthermore, being a supporting member does not make anyone's opinion more valid than any other member, whether you perceive that opinion as preaching or not. How exactly are you "calling me out"? I did not mince words at all, I freely said how I would feel about anyone jumping in line? The only thing you are doing is calling yourself out as someone who thinks they are entitled to do so because they are a "true" fan, by their own definition.

[paleshadow]

I was a BN today. As everyone knows I can't go to the signing because of health reasons. I can't risk an incoming riot or standing or sitting more then 10 mins. It's a hassle.

But Like I said I went to BN today to pick up some book and I burst in tears when I saw this:

what made it worst is my 9 year old niece saw me crying and thought I was losing it lol :D

A rep from BN saw me tearing up and told me she knows hell will break lose on tuesday, that she going to eat extra Quaker Oats to maintain more energy. And a few Advils. lol

Such a nice lady. She consoled me and all.:o Anyway, I had to take a picture of the sign from the BN store. Just to share a little something here.

I hope you all have a good time and take pictures XXOO :xoxo:

Thanks for the heads up! I just PM'ed you. Let me know if you got it!

your original posts (three to be exact, I'm disregarding the threatening t-shirt post as that was meant to be humourous) are more like admonishments rather than an opinion...I have several times explained my position in several posts which you really should re-read but you fail to understand my main point which is basically "don't lecture strangers on moral ethics on such a minor thing"...that's the distilled version...

your original post was only three away from mine but you did jump into my conversation...please look back at the position of your original post...

and yes, I am a longtime fan, even during the Street Angel days so I don't feel I am on the same level as the casual fan and certainly not on the same level as an employee hired for a days work to stand in line for autographs who will never become Stevie Nicks fans...and that's not a fact, that's my opinion... :lol:

I'm not judging how other fans use this opportunity...

and at least I'm not judging how other fans use this opportunity...
Besides my first post that was to clarify what people meant by "shifts", all of my others have been to respond to you. You aren't judging others who share your opinion, but you are judging me because mine differs from yours. I'm not telling you you can't line jump, that's your business, but if you or anyone else line jump in front of me, I will have a problem. I recognize there are many fans who will not get this opportunity; some have to work, some live too far away, but that's life. I have a job and a mortgage also. I took a vacation day so I could get on line earlier. That's the choice I made. If I didn't have the time I may have chosen to call out sick, and I don't feel you (or anyone) deserve to be in line in front of me or anyone else because you have to work and you have a delusion of entitlement because you have been a fan for x amount of years. You sound like Miley Cyrus at the Grammys because Radiohead didn't want to meet her. I can't help that you perceive my opinion as a lecture, but I don't feel I need to check with anyone to make sure they agree with me before I say what I think. Sorry if that upsets you.

I truly hope you do get to meet her, and that everyone who endures the journey and the wait in line does as well.

Cool! Just makes it all the more REAL! Not that I'm going or anything... But I think this is so unique... should be a fun day for you guys going.

[Bella Figura]

totally not upset just juxtapositioning your arguements about line position, place holding and even line jumping...there needs to be some balance here from a complete opposite point of view...

so you have insulted me twice...once by stating "grow up" implying that since I'm immature my opionion is not valid and now another crack again about immaturity by comparing me disparagingly to Miley Cyrus...both insults prove my point, you are a preacher who lectures and sermonizes, you like to reprimand and you are judgemental...it's really not me, I only point these things out...

oh, and please wear that t-shirt to the booksigning!!!

as you and I both know, there will be disappointment come Tuesday night here on the Ledge, we've both been on the Ledge a very long time...so I say the same to you, I hope you do get to meet her as well...best of luck!!

[Bella Figura]

I have a insane desire to go tear that sign down!!! :]

[strandinthewind]

Here are some things to remember/tips from the voice of decades of experience with FM, La Nicks solo, and other artists:

1. You need to get there VERY EARLY - like no later than noon. Those buying plane or bus tickets and/or making expensive plans should take this advice or you could be disappointed. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure :shrug:

2. La Nicks has a history of doing her duty for a few hours and then leaving. Then everyone who did not get there shiitte signed gets all pissed off because she signed "only" 500 or so items over a two or so hour period. These people left hanging after hours in line seem to lose sight of the fact that there was no guarantee she would be there for five hours. Again, she might stay for five hours, but why risk it - get there early.

3. These things are historically disorganized. The same old BS usually gets said afterward - like "we had no idea it would be this crowded" or "the demand far exceeded our expectations" -- If they are smart, they likely will hand out numbers to the people in line and stop after a certain point, like 300. Again, get there early.

4. If you are lucky, you will get 30 seconds with her. So, make the most of it :nod:

5. If some fool tries to cut in front of me with some lame a$$ place holding BS excuse, I can assure you I will have no problem having them thrown out. Hopefully, the number system will prevent this kind of BS.

Food for thought :wavey:

I wish Abby from NCIS was a real person because I would have here give me a pair of the "Double Naught Seven" streaming camera eyeglasses they used in a few episodes.

Of course, I'd forget to turn then off and then The Ledge would see me parading through every bar in Manhattan afterward and, likely, get an up close view of the gutter sometime after midnight :cool: of course, many on The Ledge have been there with me before . . . .

No, you def. should go there as soon as you get in the city and see what happens - the noon thing was just a suggestion, albeit a good one.

I am just saying the earlier you get there, the better off your chances are :shrug:

Who knows, you may be able to stroll on in at 7:00 and get to get it signed. Seeing as how she is still very popular, she was just here in concert with FM, and they repeatedly advertised this in the Post, the NY Times, in other media, and in the store - I tend to think there will be throngs of people, many of which will be turned away.

Again, an ounce of prevention . . . .

thanks for the advice!!! it's appreciated!!!

ok, I will try but the idea of standing in line for 7 hours for a 30 second hello is just so annoying not to mention back-breaking...I'd rather do the dinner...

why couldn't she have done a book signing during the Street Angel days?? :lol:

[strandinthewind]

. . . why couldn't she have done a book signing during the Street Angel days?? :lol:

LOL - I KNOW!

I just remember the meet and greet in Phoenix with Henley and Mick in 1998 for the Enchanted tour. She sat at this table for a total of maybe two hours and met a bunch of people many of which lingered too long. Then, she had to get some award and go. The whole thing was beyond disorganized and many were frustrated, esp. after spending a bunch of money. It worked out great for me, but I can see where the others were coming from, though she did meet many people that night, including one scary lesbian who kept shrieking and crying at the table next to her. Note - this chick got to interview La Nicks for VH-1 shortly thereafter - so WTF do I know :shrug:

Interestingly, FM had a cattle call meet and greet after a show in, I think Phoenix, for the SYW tour. Essentially, groups of four or five were brought in, hurriedly arranged for a photo, and then ushered out.

I can see the band/artists' point in that you just finished a three hour concert and then you have to be Mary Fukcing Sunshine for 500 people who are oogling you. None of us would want that BS after we got off of work.

In the end, I think some (meant in general - not directed at you :cool: ) get their hopes up in an unrealistic way and then they are let down. Personally, I think even if you could not get your DVD signed, it would be cool just to be in BN with her if you could watch from afar.

[Bella Figura]

you are absolutely right...if just a glimpse is what is meant to be then so be it...but the boards will be full of triumph and tribulation come Wed...

I'd love to actually meet her and will take this opportunity but at this point in my life, the part I'm really looking forward to is hanging out with my sister and cousin on the line (just not for 7 hours, we have to eat and pee!!)...it'll give us a good opportunity to talk without kids or husbands...

I'm sorry and I don't mean to be rude in any way, shape or form or to start a war but..

If I am going to be standing in line with a friend and I need to use the restroom or to get a bottle of water NO ONE is going to tell me that I have to get to the back of the line. All long time Stevie fans should know to be respectful of others. If someone needs to step out of line then any real fan would hold their place. I am sorry but your about comment really bothers me. What if I was an insulin dependent diabetic and I needed to give myself a shot and need to get out of line? Are you telling me that you would have me thrown out? I think your words needs to be re-thought. If I am taking this the wrong way I apologize. I think as fans we all need to bond together and have a good time...but no one is going to tell me that I can't step out of line and have someone hold my place.
Food for thought.

[strandinthewind]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Let me clarify, I was responding to the prior conversations about about people cutting in line. For example, one person stands in line for three hours, then at 7:00, ten never before seen people suddenly show up and join them. That is unfair to the people that were waiting for hours. It is cheating the other long waiting fans because these new people likely were too lazy to get their a$$e$ there and wait like everyone else. Even if they were not lazy and could not get there because of work, etc., tough shiitte IMO because everyone else there likely took off work or adjusted their schedules to be there. Finally, cutting line via a place holder is wildly different than a ten minute bathroom or insulin break for someone there originally. If you thought I was talking about that, you misunderstood what I was saying. Hopefully, BN will hand out numbers as people arrive, which will avoid cutters (as opposed to bathroom and insulin breaks).

[Oykamu]

Okay, let me clarify my earlier offer. I live in the city and can get to B&N early, early if need be, but I can't be there from about 2-5PM. If I got there at nine and waited until two and then came back at five, I would sure appreciate someone being willing to save my spot in line and I would certainly save their spot while they went to get dinner. Is there another Ledgie who's planning to get there at about 9 (or earlier) who would be willing to make that deal?

[strandinthewind]

^^^

Interestingly, you will see many a person in line with a small cooler in which is their food and drink.

Again, hopefully, they will give out numbers or something like that so that people do not have to stand in the line all day long. In other words, you show up and they hand you a wristband or some other device for indicating where you are in the line. Then, you can leave and come back at like 5:00 (make the cut off time mandatory) and form the line in the order of the device. That is how I would do it. Sadly, these things tend to be WAAAAYY disorganized.

On a lighter note, I hope there are a ton of "Stevie's in drag" there. It would be a hoot and a half to see her signing their items while discussing make up tips.

I get exactly what you are saying! I think you are 100% right. People who have been waiting in line and then all of a sudden 20 of their friends are there...nope doesn't happen in my book! Sorry for the almost caused drama hahaha

It's all good. I am sure there will be many a war story posted here apres deluge.

I just remember how, as a kid, I used to camp out in front of Raccoon Records in Lafayette, Louisiana for concert tickets. This was in like 1984, when computers were a novelty :eek:

I wish I could be there, I would wait in a thousand lines! Blessings on all who get to go!!:angel:

I remember in the 90's I worked in this little video store that was a TM outlet and you could actually choose the seats and row you wanted to...man I miss those day hahah I never paid service fees either cause the tickets were printed then and there...good old days.

[strandinthewind]

^^^^

My fav. is TM has the nerve to charge you a few bucks to print the ticket on your own computer :rolleyes:

I usually go to the theater if I can and buy the tickets there, which means there is no sometimes almost 20% TM fee.

[Bella Figura]

yep, hopefully, B&N does the wristband solution, it would save many misunderstandings and drama...but it still does not solve the profiteering issue....so there is always a built-in unfairness to any celebrity event...

[iamnotafraid]

Maybe we can go to a comedy club together! :D :] :nod:

Do you think they allow Ledgies in comedy clubs?

[OldTimer]

I'm curious about what she'll be wearing. Does she do the whole platform boots & shawl thing when she does appearances like this? Or does she dress for comfort? A Yankees jacket and jeans? Did I really ask such a shallow question? :o

I have a question. My husband and I are going around 5 am getting there I guess
around 7 Do we need to bring a chair and cooler. I heard they will not
be giving out wristbands so does that mean we have to sit there all day.
I should call them up today.
Right?

Hey Girlfriend!!!! I didn't realize that you and Gary are getting to go!!!!!! HOW AWESOME!! I'm SOOOOO excited for you! I'm not amongst the fortunate that do get to go, but I would definitely have snacks (food and drinks- maybe sandwiches too) for the entire day.. I'm sure as mentioned above that the people either in front of you, or behind you will hold your place in line for potty breaks, etc.. I SOOOOOO hope you have a fun time tomorrow! How exciting! And getting to see all of the other Ledgies and fans there! What a BLAST! :thumbsup:

[GavinBrown]

I am still debating about what time to arrive down there...what time are most of you guys getting there?

[strandinthewind]

I'd definitely bring chairs, a cooler, and food and beverages. The store told me they are NOT doing wristbands and they expect a huge turnout.

[flickersticked]

I can't believe this is happening tomorrow! I'm so excited but I'm kind of freaking out too. Does anyone here know anything about the PATH train in Jersey City? That's my plan right now but I can't figure out the parking situation. I'm bringing my mom and we're hoping to be in the city by 11 am or so. We're leaving MD at 6 am. Still trying to figure out what to do about food/drinks/chairs....any advice?

[darla]

I am getting there around 7am. I just B & N and they were a little nasty.
We will have to stand around outside. She told me she doesn't know how
long Stevie will be there. No wrist bands, if you want to call here is the number
212-253-0810 Let us know what they say. I want to get there at 7 I hope that
would be good enought. She told me it will be a big turnout.
Let us know


I am still debating about what time to arrive down there...what time are most of you guys getting there?

[flickersticked]

It seems completely ridiculous to not do wristbands or something like that. I don't understand why they'd want all these people standing around outside their store for hours.

[GavinBrown]

Well...i think I will get there around 10am...i am NOT a morning person...lol! Anyhow...should us ledgies have a secret handshake or something? haha

[DameLindsey]

It seems completely ridiculous to not do wristbands or something like that. I don't understand why they'd want all these people standing around outside their store for hours.

I don't see how it will be possible for them to allow people to stand outside the store. There are too many other places of business that won't appreciate that. Wristbands would be the best thing. I hope they have a plan even if its a last minute one!

Lord Child - your preaching to the choir!

I mean it seemingly is so easy for this not to be an unorganized clusterfukc :shrug:

Note how they will claim after the facy that they never dreamed the crowds would be so large :rolleyes:

[WildHeart69]

Here is my theory...they tell people that there won't be wrist bands so that people wont strat lining up yesterday to get one! I think by saying they wont give them out they will have a smaller line-up crowd (albeit they still know it will be HUGE, just not a riot)and then they will give out wristbands... I am still pretty sure that there will be a swarm come noon and police will make them do something if they already arent planning on the wristbands!

[Bella Figura]

[GavinBrown]

Ill be in jeans and my boots are back stevie shirt....with black sunglasses and starbucks i am sure! haha

ps-I just got my soundstage in the mail, can i bring that one? or do i have to buy it at the store to get it signed? thanks!

Exactly!!! And I SOOOO concur with you on the "cutting in line" stuff you mentioned earlier! That's SOO unfair to those who have stood in line and waited all those hours! And you're right about the "after the fact" mess.. I guess it makes too much sense to do something like that.. LOLOL :laugh:

sweater, jeans, comfortable shoes, dark glasses and my hoodie!!! I don't support free t-shirt advertising, you want me to wear your brand, pay me!! :lol:

I plan on going after work, around 5ish.
B/N are nuts, yea - didn't like them when I met Mick. Very nasty and bossy.

Here's my new dilemma (I haven't read back thru this thread so forgive me)...

I want the BluRay of this show and not the DVD. I just called the store and asked if they have it. They said no. I asked if they WILL have it tomorrow. They said no.

I then asked if I could buy it somewhere and bring it with me because I don't want to buy the thing twice. They said NO.

WTF - that sucks. I need to buy this twice? Plus they probably won't let us take a photo with her, etc....

Anyhow.

[darla]

I just spoke to another person who was nicer. She told me, when the doors open
you can go upstairs and sit. There are restrooms, and you can buy food there.
Once you leave your seat, you lost it. Now considering us fans we love each other.
If someone next to me got up and said can you hold my seat I would. I didn't
get the dvd/cd in time so she told me to go and buy that first cause that is what she
will be signing. I have soundstage I will bring that just in case I don't get the
ones in the store. My husband smokes so I know he will be in and out so
I hope no one gets mad at us. We are getting there at 7 am. But the only time
people will be standing outside is if upstairs is full.....Lets help each other out
guys..What do you think. I think we all want to meet Stevie...Right:nod:

Just look at it as having to pay $16 admission to meet Stevie and get an autograph. That's less than the price of parking. ;)

[T-bone]

Nah - I work in the city and don't have to park there. I just think it's lame, that's all. I mean, I'm a fan but I'm as broke as anyone else and I guess I'll just have to have the regular DVD and forget Bluray for now. Heh.

But really, what's the harm, ya know? If they don't have it available they shouldn't force people to buy something else.

What I really would like a photo with her, that's all. I've always thought she was the coolest since I was a kid - my first Rock N Roll crush, you know? It would just be cool to have a pic with her.

Then you should get chummy with the person behind you and quickly turn around at the count of three as they snap a pic while you are at the table with Stevie.

I played the regular DVD after I got the CD/DVD thing on Saturday, and it looks dreadful on a HDTV. :eek: Regular DVD's need to be put out to pasture ASAP- I can't believe that in this day and age we are still forced to put up with this antiquated technology.

[strandinthewind]

I plan on going after work, around 5ish.
B/N are nuts, yea - didn't like them when I met Mick. Very nasty and bossy.

Here's my new dilemma (I haven't read back thru this thread so forgive me)...

I want the BluRay of this show and not the DVD. I just called the store and asked if they have it. They said no. I asked if they WILL have it tomorrow. They said no.

I then asked if I could buy it somewhere and bring it with me because I don't want to buy the thing twice. They said NO.

WTF - that sucks. I need to buy this twice? Plus they probably won't let us take a photo with her, etc....

Anyhow.

You could always sell the autographed one on eBay or craigslist - likely for more than what you paid for it, which could pay for the more esp

[skcin]

I don't understand why people are complaining about "no photos" and the fact that she'll only sign 1 thing - there's only so much time in the day, people. :shrug: of course they have to set some limits, it's a signing not a meet & greet.

Same with B&N making you buy a copy there - they'd be stupid not to.

[TrueFaith77]

I still dont' know whether or not I'm going. I just don't see taking a day off of work.

[T-bone]

Yea I can't take a day off work. I'll be too bored on line anyhow. I'll go there after. Probably get there at 5.

And hey, we're not complaining per se about buying the item. It's just that I'd rather have the blu-ray than the regular one since I have the blu-ray player. If they don't have it, they should let us bring one. I'd gladly buy it if they had it.

Yea I'll ask the person behind me to snap a shot maybe. :)
See how it goes.

I met Don Felder once and it was a great experience. He was very cool about it all and friendly. Stood up for the pics with everyone. Yea there's little time but if you get it down to a science everyone can get one pic with her really fast just leaning over the table like Mick did.

Whatever - it's all good. Stevie's tops.

Hmm - looks like it might just be the CD?
Oh well - I'll be there! :)

[Bella Figura]

Too bad there aren't Ledgie-like caps...

I absolutely love this...it's going right on my myspace with your permission of course!!!

Best of Luck to Everyone tommorow!!! :xoxo:

seriously, everyone have fun tomorrow...
looking forward to some warstories :cool:
hope everything is as you wish with stevie.

[paleshadow]

I just spoke to another person who was nicer. She told me, when the doors open
you can go upstairs and sit. There are restrooms, and you can buy food there.
Once you leave your seat, you lost it. Now considering us fans we love each other.
If someone next to me got up and said can you hold my seat I would. I didn't
get the dvd/cd in time so she told me to go and buy that first cause that is what she
will be signing. I have soundstage I will bring that just in case I don't get the
ones in the store. My husband smokes so I know he will be in and out so
I hope no one gets mad at us. We are getting there at 7 am. But the only time
people will be standing outside is if upstairs is full.....Lets help each other out
guys..What do you think. I think we all want to meet Stevie...Right:nod:

Thanks for the info. My set didn't come in the mail today, so I'll have to buy one there too.

[UnwindedDreams]

What are you all going to say to Stevie tomorrow? Song requests?

[whitewingdove73]

Oh Please. :]

If someone can do me a favor if they go to see her tommorow? Please tell her if she can add Sister's of the moon on the setlist again for this new tour? Pretty please?;)

[iamnotafraid]

HejiraNYC, this suggestion might help your regular DVD's look better on a
HDTV.

If you have your DVD player hooked up to your HDTV through it's component outputs, change your DVD players video settings to output to progressive scan . And then set your player to output to 16:9 (instead of 4:3). That should help your old DVD's look pretty good on your HDTV.

[CelticGypsy]

Hope everyone that is going to to B & N will have a lot of fun and Stevie will be extra nice about photos and autographs. Good luck:nod:

[DavidMn]

I just want to say again that I hope everyone that goes has a fun and safe time! I'll look forward to hearing all the stories that come out of tomorrows event!:)

[GODDESS6]

yay, today's the day~ i want to wish everyone the best of luck meeting stevie~ i hope the weather's fine & the crowd too~
have a great time & take some of us w/ you in spirit!!!~

[TrueFaith77]

Unfortunately I have a super important meeting at work today, so I can't take the day off... but I will try to show up as early as I'm able to leave the office. Even if I don't get an autograph, I'd like to check out the scene. :]

ETA: My boss let me leave early. She actually brought it up to me as soon as I walked in the office today. So if my boss knows there's a Stevie signing at B&N, that means everybody knows, which means IT'S GONNA BE CRAZY! So I know I won't get an autograph, but I will stop by.

[GavinBrown]

Just woke up....this wont be easy...lol:D

[bikerchic]

Have fun you guy's and don't forget to ask the BATB question :thumbsup:

[HejiraNYC]

Fifth in line here :eek: . It's effin' freezing! Anyway, things are pretty tame as of now- maybe around 35 people in line, but it's been building steadily since 8. They're opening at ten and will seat the first-comers, but I don't know how many seats are up there :shrug: . But once you are in the store, you have to stay- no seat holding allowed!

[jannieC]

wow that is awesome that you are 5th in line. so what happens if you get a seat and have to go to the bathroom? i cant hold it for an hour let alone all day, geesh!

[T-bone]

Keep up posted. Especially those of us coming after work! ACK!

[HejiraNYC]

We're in! Warmth at last! Anyway, they are letting people in ten at a time to buy the cd and/or DVD and then escorted us up to the signing area on the fourth floor. It's massive! Around 300 chairs have been set up in front of a tiny stage. Once seated, you can get up to use the loo or go to the cafe, but you can't leave the store! The crowd has grown to well over 50.

[T-bone]

uh boy.
maybe i'll leave work at 3.

[T-bone]

are they selling the combo DVD/CD thingy?

[HejiraNYC]

are they selling the combo DVD/CD thingy?

Nope, but if you buy both the cd and dvd separately, she will signthem both.

[gldstwmn]

Everyone have fun and be safe today! I can't wait to read your stories and see your pix.

[HejiraNYC]

The organizer says that, depending on how quickly she signs, she may get to 300 - 500 people. There will be a brief media event at the beginning of the signing, so watch tv tomorrow!

[T-bone]

Sounds good. Maybe she'll announce something? Or will it just be a few minutes for papparazzi to go bananas...? Still cool.

[BTFLCHLD]

We're in! GO TEAM!! http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a152/BTFLCHLD/cheerleader3.gif

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a152/BTFLCHLD/studsmatta.gif Thanks for the realtime updates...this rocks! Let us know the important stuff, like what she is wearing, etc ...

[HejiraNYC]

...and stevie's people will be scanning the crowd for the best stevie Drag- the winner gets a pic with Mama. Strand, where are you?!:wavey: And now they're playing the SS cd- it's rather festive up here!

[bikerchic]

so it sounds pretty organized....thanks for the play by play :thumbsup:

[sherhiannon]

OMG! I wish I was there!! Thank Goddess for technology so us unlucky ones can get live updates, thanks gypsy's!! :]

[T-bone]

Turn off your flash and sneak a few pics?

I really can't stand that "no photos" thing. I understand it at the table but just in the store? Come on...

I know she won't wanna take photos with people but if you're on line....I dunno. I think we can sneak some. They can't control every person there, right?

It's great that she's coming out though.

[GODDESS6]

i am pasted to this screen for updates, thanx so much, for letting us know how it's going!!!~

[macpai]

Wow, they're pretty nicely organized with seats and everything.
Not looking good for people who would have to arrive after 5.

[HejiraNYC]

...about 85 have shown up. It's hilarious- it's like a stevie convention here...

[TrueFaith77]

Omg I Wanna Be There!

[Musicman408]

Ugh- I wanna be there sooooo bad!!!! Hopefully some of you all will get some pics!!

Someone say hi to her for me ;)

[jannieC]

This is so cool- I am going to be checking in here throughout the day- so exciting!

:woohoo:

[Bella Figura]

I am leaving for NYC now!!!

[T-bone]

What's the latest? How bad is it? I hope to get there around 4ish.

[WelshWitchPMD]

HERE!!! With a few friends. This is so different from Mick's signing. This is very organized and user friendly. I am going to be 500 lbs when I leave. Lots of goodies in the cafe and we can't leave the store. I am going to try hard to film her and I am in a perfect location.

[BTFLCHLD]

I am in a perfect location. ohhhhhhh fantastic!!!! Yeah Pattie!!!!

[GODDESS6]

ohhhhhhh fantastic!!!! Yeah Pattie!!!!

yay is right!!!!:blob1:~

[michelej1]

For them to have 300 chairs is amazing. They are being much more considerate than I would have expected. Knowing you can stake your chair and then move around the place, eat and browse -- it sounds great.

Michele

[DavidMn]

Good. It sounds like the B&N people have things under control.:nod:

[HejiraNYC]

What's the latest? How bad is it? I hope to get there around 4ish.

It looks about one third full, maybe a bit more. I am making no bets, but I think 4 might work... :shrug:

Green army type jacket, green sweater. See profile pic for my ugly mug.

See you there around 4!

[Moz]

Ugh, I am so jealous. Someone say hi to her for me! :]

[bikerchic]

And there's even this dude going on stage doing a q and a every so often. I guess they have learned.

Maybe they were bombarded with calls (didn't some ledgies call?) with questions leading up to this, that it made them more aware of what to prepare for :shrug:

[GavinBrown]

I'm in row g with my boots are back shirt on funnnn times lol

[Moz]

Do you have a camera phone? ;) *wink wink* We need visuals!

[petep9000]

oh crap. the earliest I can get out of work would be 4:30pm and that would get me there prob 5:30 pm judging on subway and walking that I do from uptown. I hope I have a glimmer of a chance of getting in.

well, I'll be there one way or another. If someone recognizes me, say hi!

[HejiraNYC]

About 60percent full...

[T-bone]

About 60percent full...

Cool, thanks!

[HejiraNYC]

80 percent...

Oh that's precious coming from someone wearing a knock-off polyester suit designed for someone much smaller. :wavey:

what do you mean "smaller?" :mad:

[T-bone]

Well I made it. Maybe 6 rows from the back. Now we wait. Cramped spaces for seats though. It's tight and hot in here. Well at least I'll catch up on my reading! 3+hours to go......

[gldstwmn]

Oh that's precious coming from someone wearing a knock-off polyester suit designed for someone much smaller. :wavey:

Wish you were here - will PM later :cool:

[nailatixela]

Have fun all - turned out I couldn't go (AAARGG) but can't wait to hear your stories.

[macpai]

Looking pretty bad for me arriving after 5:30...
To the lucky Ledgies already there, does it look like people will be able to snap shots from along the side or anything like that?
And does it look like Day of 500 Stevies in there?

Not the day of 500 stevies.
You might be able to get some pics from a distance but nothing up close.

[T-bone]

And WHO is that dude walking around in the shawl! LOL

[Bella Figura]

I have arrived!!!! here in third to last row....!!!!

[gldstwmn]

Okay. And for the record, I know your suit is probably Brioni. ;)

[Musicman408]

And WHO is that dude walking around in the shawl! LOL

That would be me!!! :laugh:

Just kidding- yall know I'm not there:distress:

How many rows of chairs are there?

[TeenageMac]

Wish I could be there today, I'd do anything - But Mom and Dad couldn't get the day off from work.

Looking forward to reading stories!

[whitewingdove73]

I am so jealous right now....:sorry::sorry::sorry:

And it so beautiful today in NY....

Anyway, after the 300 chairs are full that's when they stop allowing folks up? It sounds like that to me.

I hope you gypsies there today have a rocking time. Please take pictures and if able, take video if your cell phone lets you to lol ;)

I wanna feel like I am there with you guys :thumbsup:

[whitewingdove73]

I am two subway stops from BN. That is what is *******ing killing me here. But with my health and not being able to stand, I just couldn't go and risk it. I didn't know BN was going to have 300 chairs set up. That lady who consoled me on Sat when I took that picture of the sign at the store, didn't tell me that :distress:

Had I knew that, I could have went really early, sat there a few hours knowing that there would be chairs. I'm so upset right now cuz I could have gone, but oh well. What can I do? Too late now. :distress:

[T-bone]

They said they're gonna bring up people row by row til it's empty then REfill the seats and do it again with people in the back standing. Gonna be hard to get any kind of pics.

[GavinBrown]

Liz Rosenberg is cutting and taping beads/lace all over the poor barnes and noble table! LOL

[macpai]

They said they're gonna bring up people row by row til it's empty then REfill the seats and do it again with people in the back standing. Gonna be hard to get any kind of pics.

So I should still come down at 5:30 I guess and hopefully I'll get a seat on the refill.

[GODDESS6]

Yes, we were wondering about crowd control. Maybe that's how they are going to make sure there is no spill over into the street, by just cutting off the line. That's frustrating, but at least Stevie will probably sign for everyone who DOES get in. You don't/shouldn't have to worry about being left out even if you are at the end of the rows of chairs.

Michele

[CelticGypsy]

I am sooooo envious:mad::D

Twirls and HUGS to all that's waiting to see Stevie, especially those who dressed up:wavey:

We want PICTURES:nod:

[strandinthewind]

That was Sheryl Lewis hanging the tape (with the dog) - and Gldstwmn - it's Prada :cool:

On edit Liz was up there as well.

[petep9000]

I'm on line right now, I am seat # 152. They have long rows of chairs set up and down the aisles, our aisle is 'Biography' and we are all facing each other. It reminds me of waiting in the principals office, but we're all chatting and the air isn't too warm (I'm warm only because of my coat).
I bought both products, and have my receipt so I guess they hand them when you get close. More later....

[HejiraNYC]

Just got back...

-She wore her black solo Stand Back outfit with the pants and frilly jacket.
-Tons of press, saw a video camera, lots of flashing bulbs, etc.
-Stevie addressed the crowd briefly, saying that this is the first time she's done something like this and that she wished she was a best-selling author.
-She posed with the three Stevie-look-alike contest winners- two girls, one guy (who really looked like Riff Raff from "Rocky Horror").
-She is flawless. :eek: We should all go bathe in a tub full of Creme de la Mer... for the next twenty years.
-She touched my hand and asked me how I was before that effing daf;oiu0'poiahjof;h Liz Rosenberg totally interrupted my moment and interjected herself while I had my face time. :mad: :mad:
-The crowd went absolutely apesh** when Stevie arrived and proceeded to stand on their chairs.
-The crowd outside went around the block; in fact, I was not able to see the end of it.

All in all... a resounding success!

[HejiraNYC]

Wow! That was fast... Thanks for the recap... I bet it was a mad house, but real exciting.

I'm still trying to make sense of this... it was all so fast and so surreal! I guess I was most shocked by how her voice sounded off-mike- it was incredibly velvety and welcoming- like a big warm blanket. It's no wonder that she is so good at nurturing the soldiers. She seemed really nervous (especially since the first guy was certifiably insane), but she was very genuine, looked you in the eye and her hands are so soft and warm... It's hard to be in the moment when the moment is such a clusterf*** of stimuli.

Unfortunately I have no other pics :distress:. I took lots of shots, but they did not come out even remotely decent. You just have no idea how insane things got once the flashbulbs started popping and everybody was standing on their chairs. :eek:

getting closer. good view of stevie from where they moved our section. very pretty, happy looking, radiant.
girl behind me singing along to every song on the PA. getting annoying because she drags out her "s" sounds, like "tsssssssss"
maybe will get up there in an hour or so
more later

There's someone worse than Karen? Maybe Liz trained her!

Thanks for the updates!

UGH YOU GUYS ARE SOOOOOOOOO LUCKY!

Stevie do another one of these in Chicago, plz. xD Wow, that Liz lady... she is very far from hot. Stevie puts her to shame. But then again, Ms. Nicks puts everyone to shame!

Great pix, BTW!

Upstairs on the fourth floor, I would say easily 500 people and at least that many outside, if not more. Seriously... those people outside need to go home- she could be there until tomorrow and still not finish the line. :eek:

Baha, FOURTH FLOOR!? I've never been to New York. I honestly can't even imagine a four-story Barnes and Noble. I went to a two-story one in Chicago once. :shrug: I think Chicago is the biggest city I've ever been to. What can I say, I'm a small town girl! :/

What time does BN close? Will she stay until the store closes? I feel bad for those outside waiting :distress:

Wow...over 1,000 people that is awesome ,it must make Stevie feel loved.Thanks for answering so quickly. It would piss me off if I was cut short when you had such little time with Stevie. Did you get to shake her hand...did she say anything to you????

10PM. But if there are 500 people already inside, she would have to sign 166 CDs per hour or just under 3 per minute. :eek: How much can her little hand take? I suspect the last hundred signatures are going to look like total chicken scratch. :lol:

[jkmaletic]

Thanks for posting the Getty Images link! Great photos- she looks happy! :D

Man, I hope this signing goes smoothly for her, cuz if it does I'm thinking she MIGHT do more.... she has the time. I certainly hope she does.
