Stomach virus always worked for me when I was in school :laugh: they can come up very unexpected so it's totally believable. :cool:

[daniellaaarisen]

If this wasn't the middle of the work week, I'd drive down.

Honestly I want to die right now.

Please don't, I'll miss you telling me about all the shows :p.

Speaking of which I'm going to ask Stevie what's up with no west coast tour dates in addition to gushing over The Wiltern show.

[Macfanforever]

Wow.How nice.I'm glad she's getting out to do these now.I hope she comes to the east and do the same.Good luck to you guys to get your cd's signed.
I would love to get my tee shirt signed.I had Emmylou Harris signed one.

[daniellaaarisen]

If there is a God, she will do a signing in San Francisco. OR in NYC when I'm there.

I'd give up all of my scheduled shows to meet her. I just gotta keep telling myself its not my time.

[jkmaletic]

Thanks for the illness suggestions. I think I'm gonna do it. This is one of my dreams and I can't just let it slip away.

People who were at the NY Barnes and Noble signing- any suggestions on what time to line up for something like this in order to be one of the first 200? Is 9:00 early enough? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Jamie

[daniellaaarisen]

...I think I can pull it off.

[LilyRose]

I'm right with you. Why couldn't this have been a Friday?! WHYYYYYY?!

[DashingDan]

A pipe on your central air got disconnected somehow (the condensate pipe, but you don't know that yet, you will when later on) and you woke up to water all over your ceiling and floor. You have to stay and clean up the mess and wait to let the HVAC guy in.

[jkmaletic]

...I think I can pull it off.

Lol-
why am I not totally surprised you said that?

Whoa! That's a good one! Thanks!

I called the record store. They open at 1030am and that's when they'll start selling the cds and giving out the 200 wristbands. So I would think I need to be there before 9am. The girl on the phone suggested 7, but I think that's kinda late. If I do this, I would be there probably around 5am . I would hafta leave my place around 230am and then call in sick when I get there, lol.

The wristband idea is cool, because it means you're guaranteed a spot without having to wait around the store all day.

Jamie

[daniellaaarisen]

I'M GOING OH MY GOD!

We should get a big Ledgie lunch that day!

[DashingDan]

You're welcome...it actually happened to me about a month ago :)

Whoa! That's a good one! Thanks!

LMAO~ No pun intended ;) :p

[Gypsybecca]

Ok..so if I show up at about 1 am, that's not technically overnight, right?

How will they know if we hold spots in line before the store opens?

I'm expecting the Wiltern show crowd?

Grace, Dani....we got this!!!
:wavey:

:wavey:

I don't think it'll be nearly as bad as the Wiltern... and there was no more than 20 people in line until 10am or so. Plus there's less notice this time around so fewer people will fly in.

[PastelGravel]

We're trying to think of ways we can get there from Vancouver in the middle of a work week but I don't think it will happen :distress:

Please all of you bombard her with requests to bring the tour west!!! Do it for me :blob2:

Good luck :angel:

[LikeAWillow]

I hate everything. I literally have thirty dollars to my name right now. Otherwise, I would be there in a second.

[jannieC]

Jamie- you can pretend you threw your back out. Then you don't have to sound sick when you call in.

[jkmaletic]

Jamie- you can pretend you threw your back out. Then you don't have to sound sick when you call in.

Thanks.. but I have a plan. Feign starting to feel really ill Tuesday at work, then call in the next day when I get to LA.

After going back and forth on this all afternoon, and especially after reading about 18 pages or so of the NY Barnes and Noble DVD signing thread, I'm going. You ledgies that were at the NY signing wrote over and over how special and worth it it was. And that was for 500-800 people! This is only 200 ( Probably because she remembers how tired she may have gotten doing 500-800.)

To top it off, when I came home today i was
tidying up the kitchen from this morning, I noticed we used Stevie coffee cups today- IT'S A SIGN!! Right??

You live in San Diego...DO IT. I live in Vancouver Canada and I am thinking about it, lol.

[THINKABOUTIT]

I live in L.A. so I hope it works out :) If none of my friends can go, I'll be there alone....we'll have to possibly hold spots for each other so we can pee LOL ;)

[jkmaletic]

That's cool. I will be coming alone also. My partner loves Stevie too, but not enough to drive out to LA at 2am for. Holding spots for bathroom breaks sounds like a plan.

Enjoy, West Side Ledgies! I will never forget my CD signing in NYC. Magical, indeed.

[Macfanforever]

Enjoy, West Side Ledgies! I will never forget my CD signing in NYC. Magical, indeed.

I will get my fat a$$ down to NYC .If she does a cd signing there.I would not blow this like the last one.Good luck to the Ledgies of the west.Have fun.

[jkmaletic]

I'm not on facebook, but my girlfriend is. Today I had her block anyone she's friends with from my work from seeing any kind of new postings. Don't want anyone from work seeing any posts regarding this event and putting two and two together!

Gotta think stuff like this through and cover all your bases. :)

Jamie

[equeen102289]

I would so fly out for this if I weren't still going to be in London.

Everyone who is going- have an amazing time! And give us all the details!

[StandbackStevie]

yes Have a blast at her cd signings in Hollywood awesome would be cool too if she does a boston signing and NY signing too could happen too.Pray for it to happen for all I was at her first signing a little over 2yrs ago in NYC B&N in Union Square it was the best she was amazing you will have an amazing time and have a special moment in time with her you will cherish for the rest of your life. Have a blast to the lucky 200 people who will get in.:thumbsup:

[Neal]

Speaking of which I'm going to ask Stevie what's up with no west coast tour dates

Please do! :nod:

Although I wouldn't expect a satisfying answer... :rolleyes:

Hey Becca!
Ooh, I so wish I could fly out for this, but it's just not in the cards. Too much to do here.:(
Wishing you all the absolute best time, of course. I can't wait to read about it!

[jkmaletic]

Please do! :nod:

Stevie won't know. But if Sheryl Louis (her manager), is there i will ask her. I've talked to her before and she's cool.

Jamie

[THINKABOUTIT]

I want to know what's up with no photos? ;(

[daniellaaarisen]

I want to know what's up with no photos? ;(

Same.... that's the one thing I'm bummed about. Well, that and the fact that I'm driving 16 hours round trip and have no guarantee that I'll be one of the first 200 in line :lol: I'm sure I'll be fine but it's daunting nonetheless.

[GarboSpeaks!]

This is SO gnawing on me, and I need to make a decision. The trip would entail working Tuesday, hauling ass after work (approx 15 hrs) praying I get a wink or 2 when waiting in line but more importantly am I going to be among the first 200, then meeting her (OMFG, have waited 20+ years to meet her ONCE) then getting in car, 15 hrs back and working next day. That means I'd be up about 2 1/2 days, and I don't do uppers anymore. DAMN! lol

Just DO IT! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity! It is absolutely worth all the driving. Make friends with Dunkin Donuts turbo iced coffee!

Hahaha this is awesome!

[THINKABOUTIT]

I agree..awesome ;) I'm a high school teacher, so I am lucky to be off work now for the summer..however, people/friends are correct in telling me that NOT going means for sure nada will happen; at least chance it ;)

Jaime....that's awesome. I've done it before :) On every tour for years, I've also driven down for the San Diego shows, since I have family/friends there & thus, free places to stay the night... many a Friday's I have left work early LOL

[RockAlot]

I'm taking the sick route myself...I considered asking for the day off but with my Mgr. already off the rest of week there was a chance I could be denied. A co-worker is already in the loop so she is behind me and will pretty much cover my butt.

This way there is no Why? Who? When? Its pretty much "I'm sick and wont be in today" end of story... I just always feel so damm guilty calling in sick....even when I am sick!!! :shocked:

So what time are ya all getting there? I'm thinking between 6-7 am? I'll freak if I get there and there's already 200 people in line!!! :eek:

Ha! Good one!

Tomoorow's when I really go "Meryl Streep".

Jamie

[jkmaletic]

There's an update on the Amoeba site saying that only "In Your Dreams" will be available for purchase, not "Bella Donna" or "Crystal Visions" as stated before.

Maybe it's cuz Stevie only needs to sell 200 more before it becomes "gold "?

:laugh:

Doesn't matter to me - that was the one i was gonna buy anyway. This will only be my third copy. :o

Jamie

[HejiraNYC]

I think you should channel her Karen Silkwood as you chew the scenery.

Doing exactly that right now. I wore zero makeup today with avocado green scrubs. Makes anyone look sick.

[Stevieforever]

You guys are so lucky, good luck, I would give anything to be able to go, but I am in the Midwest and pretty much broke right now. But, I will be there in spirit! Have fun!!

[StandbackStevie]

Enjoy the signing tommorow everyone that is going you will have an amazing and wonderful day with meeting Stevie you will cherish this day for the rest of your life.

I was wondering what the "update" was, I read it 3 times @ FM News & Reviews!
Didn't think to check Amoeba's website, will do that now...This will be my 3rd copy of the CD too!!

[Macfanforever]

I have to say again.good luck tomorrow meeting Stevie.After last nights interview with Jim Ladd .The place will be mobbed with fans.They should jack up the count of signings to 500.But they probaby wont.

[michelej1]

I was thinking more dingo ate baby. No one would expect you to come to work under those circumstances.

*ring!*ring!*

Me: Hi, it's Steve...I won't be in today, I've got something wrong with my eyes

Boss: what's wrong?

Me: I just can't see myself coming in today.

[RockAlot]

Also saw there is free 2 hr. parking w/purchase next door at the Arclight Theater~ So I take it anything after 2 hrs. you pay?

6~7 A.M. OK, who's bringing Starbucks!!!! :rolleyes::shocked::lol:

[golden braid]

Once we get an armband and buy her CD we don't have to wait there all day, right?

[daniellaaarisen]

Heading down to LA in a few hours! It'll be a long day but so worth it.

[QUOTE=WildHearted;1003562]They talked about it many, many times./QUOTE]

I only have gotten to hear about 30 minutes of this so far, and they mentioned it once, but didn't talk about the logistics of it. He made it seem you could just show up at 6pm and meet Stevie. So as long as they keep the logistics of it out we'll be ok. ( except for the people that bother to look it up on the site of course).

No, they mention it a few more times. And at one point I remember him specifically saying, "And don't think you can just show up at 5:35 and get in to see her. You're probably gonna bring a sleeping bag." or something of that nature.

Amoeba will begin selling the CD (with the wristband for the signing) tomorrow morning at 10AM. Limited to the first 200 people in line. The signing will begin at 6PM, and the wristbands will be numbered so people know where they are in line.

Oh my god.Is this what these venders do for all of her or any other artists signings.That sucks .only 200 signings after last nights interview..I wonder how many true Stevie fans will be getting that wristband on their hands.Get the tents ready or take a chance to sleep on the sidewalk.

[UndoingTheLaces]

I was in Chicago during the Wiltern show, and I just took off last Friday for a trip to SF. There's no way I can take tomorrow off, or sit outside Amoeba all night to be able to do this. I'm heartbroken. I really am. But you know, I've met all of my idols in my life and the only one I haven't met was the biggest of them all, Stevie.

Oh wait, well okay, I've never met Debbie Harry but I was right up against the stage during a Blondie concert where someone handed her a rose, she bit into it and spit the pedals into the crowd and I caught one. I even joked that it had a little Debbie saliva on it and I was going to clone her. LOL! And one time, when working at a hotel I got to deliver a hand written note from her to Iggy Pop (and before you even ask, I was a total professional... okay, that's bull****, of course I read it!) and so those two things equal a meeting in my eyes. So yeah.

But having said all that, there are so many people who have never had the chance to meet even one of their idols so I can't really complain. I hope all 200 people who get in tomorrow are Ledgies and you all have an awesome time.

PLEASE TELL ME WE CAN STILL GET OUR OWN PERSONAL ITEM SIGNED. I really want her to sign me Bella Donna lp.

In London she was only signing purchases. No personal items. :sorry: Maybe this time will be different?:shrug:

[RockAlot]

I hope so I'm bringing the Litho we recently got, there was one ad saying she would just sign one and only one thing sooooooo.

[MacMan]

Signing is limited to the first 200 people in line that purchase her new CD In Your Dreams ON DAY OF EVENT. Stevie will ONLY be signing her new CD or gift with purchase lithograph.

ONE ITEM PER PERSON – can be new CD or In Your Dreams litho ONLY

[Macfanforever]

Oh crap .I guess rules are rules.That blows.It would be nice if they let Stevie sign anything.Two thing would be great to have her sign.one of hers Concert tee.Belladonna Lp.Who makes these rules up.The store she's in or her managment.

[PastelGravel]

Good luck to all the Ledgies going tomorrow. I'll be there in spirit (and would be there physically if I didn't live in freaking Vancouver, Canada:( )
If there's a second to tell her to bring the tour to the westcoast someone do it :)

Get there early and enjoy every second!

OMG HAHA! I say the same thing :laugh: want to get Debbie cloned off the DNA I have of her from signed things and whatnot of mine. Too funny. Anything interesting in that note? ;)

OH man, it was over ten years ago. As I recall it said that she saw him doing pushups on the balcony while she was having lunch somewhere below and wanted to see if he wanted to get together while she was in town. She called him Jim, which is his real name, and if you ever see her talk about him in interviews she always calls him Jim and not Iggy. Even in the duet they did together of Well, Did You Evah. She says "drink up, Jim".

Even funnier, when I went to deliver it I knocked on the door and he said to come in. So I go in and he's nowhere to be seen. Then I realized I hear water running. He was in the shower! Turns out he was waiting for room service and thought I was it. Good thing I didn't go looking for him or I would have probably gotten an eyefull!!! LOL! He was always super nice. He has such a reputation for being a badass but he couldn't have been nicer.

[jkmaletic]

1:30 am, and I'm about to leave.

I actually questioned my sanity as I was getting ready this morning. Am I insane?? :shrug:

I've had a really magical year this year in the Stevie world, and if I actually do finally meet her today it would just be a culmination of everything I've always dreamed of in regards to her.

I have my script for calling in sick when I get there... yesterday's acting on my part planted the seed. Just PRAY there'll be no car honking in the background or anything like that when I'm making the call (please God?). :angel:


Jamie

[Macfanforever]

Good luck guys.Be safe,have fun and till Stevie we love her including me too.Take photos and vids too.

[jkmaletic]

I'm here- I'm 12th in line.
I made sure everyone in front of me wasnt holding 10 spots for other people. I even marked my place on the sidewalk with a piece of white tape with my name and number. :woohoo:
I called in - answering machine so that was perfect.
Thanks you guys for all yout good thoughts. :)

Jamie

[Josh2003]

Can someone please pick some random-ass song and express your love for it and ask her to do it live? Something like "If You Ever Did Believe" or "The Highwayman"...let's get a little whisper campaign going for her to throw one rarity into the set!

[jkmaletic]

On Ivar about one block south of record store.

Becca, Lindsay and Danielle are here too.

Jamie

[daniellaaarisen]

I am so so so tired but so excited! Time to nap on the sidewalk.

[Aussie W/Heart]

So excited for you all, keep the updates coming:thumbsup:

[poetinmyheart]

So excited for everybody! I met Stevie in London and it was unbelievable. Can't wait for updates :)

[jkmaletic]

There's 67 in line right now.

[Allycattt]

No way! Hmmm... Seems like there's more. weird. Haha.


I think Im like.... Number 25??? Idk. lol.

[Macfanforever]

I glad to see some of you got in line already.

[jkmaletic]

I'm totally guessing but I think there's about 100 or so here now.

[JRose]

This is a long shot, but would anyone be willing to have something signed for me? I would gladly pay you for your efforts. I wish she would do a CD signing in Boston, Massachusetts, but alas...

[Macfanforever]

After you guys receive your numbered wristbands .can you wonder off and sight see until later.

[Macfanforever]

That would be great.Or NYC too.

[Macfanforever]

Please one of you.Ask Stevie when her HBO show will ever go on DVD.The 30th is coming up.It would be nice to see it happen.I would love to hear her response.

[jkmaletic]

They are allowing photos as long as they are quick and not directly in front of the table. !!!!!

[DefDumbandBlond]

OH man, it was over ten years ago. As I recall it said that she saw him doing pushups on the balcony while she was having lunch somewhere below and wanted to see if he wanted to get together while she was in town. She called him Jim, which is his real name, and if you ever see her talk about him in interviews she always calls him Jim and not Iggy. Even in the duet they did together of Well, Did You Evah. She says "drink up, Jim".

Even funnier, when I went to deliver it I knocked on the door and he said to come in. So I go in and he's nowhere to be seen. Then I realized I hear water running. He was in the shower! Turns out he was waiting for room service and thought I was it. Good thing I didn't go looking for him or I would have probably gotten an eyefull!!! LOL! He was always super nice. He has such a reputation for being a badass but he couldn't have been nicer.

Ha! Too awesome!

I love Iggy, he really is super nice. :)

[DavidMn]

This is so cool! I feel like I'm right there with you guys with these updates. Very exciting!:cool:

[Livia]

Record store signings and book signings usually, if not always, require folks to purchase the item the artist or writer is there to promote. Can you imagine how chaotic it would be if they didn't?

This is Dani on Lindsay's account.

I just took a nice nap and now we're going to shower and grab a drink before this thing starts. I'M SO EXCITED! I still don't feel like this is even real...

Have Stevie put a little Wild Heart on it. I will always cherish my little authenic wild heart on my picture sleeve. :)

[Allycattt]

So what exactly is everyone bringing? JUST what you're getting signed and a camera? Or.....?

[jkmaletic]

I'm bringing the lithograph and a camera. The photo opportunity
means more to me than the signing.

I can't believe this is FINALLY going to happen! :]

Jamie

[WildHearted]

I thought they weren't allowing photographs?

[Gypsybecca]

Ledgies! I'm freaking out...I'm gonna meet Stevie! I will try to be cool and not blurt out something like.. I love you Stevie! I have no idea what to say to her...

Dani where are you? Jk!

[WildHearted]

Ledgies! I'm freaking out...I'm gonna meet Stevie! I will try to be cool and not blurt out something like.. I love you Stevie! I have no idea what to say to her...

Oh man, I would definitely tell her I loved her, if I had the chance. :lol:

[michelej1]

Glad to see that you guys all made it in, well before #200.

Have somebody take the priceless photo with you and Stevie together.

[Macfanforever]

Michele

Me too.Our Ledgie crew is there to represent us.Thank You All..............

[ontheEdgeof17]

I thought they weren't allowing photographs?

It might be like the last signing. No staged photos with Stevie, but you can take photos while waiting in line. I hope they get the former!

[GoldDustWoman22]

Yay!! Congrats to all of you! I hope you all have magical experiences meeting Stevie:) I am totally there in spirit!!

Please, please, please Stevie do a signing in NYC!!

[poetinmyheart]

It might be like the last signing. No staged photos with Stevie, but you can take photos while waiting in line. I hope they get the former!

Yeah at the London signing it was the store security who were strict about photos and not Stevie's people. Hopefully You guys will be lucky and get lots of good pictures.

How long now until the signing begins? I'm confused with the time difference.

[TwistedGypsy]

So happy for all you guys! Only what 20 more minutes! If any of you remember tell Stevie The Ledge says hello and we love you! So wish I had the chance for something like this but atleast I k ow we've got some good people in line! Represent!

[WelshWitchPMD]

I hope someone gets some good videos.

[Amlyn]

So excited for youg guys! Can't wait to hear how it goes.:D

[PenguinHead]

There's an update on the Amoeba site saying that only "In Your Dreams" will be available for purchase, not "Bella Donna" or "Crystal Visions" as stated before.

Maybe it's cuz Stevie only needs to sell 200 more before it becomes "gold "?

:laugh:

Doesn't matter to me - that was the one i was gonna buy anyway. This will only be my third copy. :o

Jamie

Stevie is there to promote In Your Dreams. It makes sense that she is there to sell and sign her new album. I would never think to give her anything else to sign. It would be even more bold and insulting to bring your own stuff for her to sign. Show some class!

[PastelGravel]

It's 6:00! Thinking of you all! :blob2:

[Macfanforever]

It's 6pm .The doors are open,Once again .have a blast.Say hi to Stevie from her best friends from the ledge.

[WildHearted]

Ah, how exciting :) I hope everyone has a blast and a memorable time. Hope everyone's experiences are wonderful.. I can't wait to hear from all of you!

Dude. I know. Read my post. Sheesh.

[jkmaletic]

Im driving. I met her. No photos. Awesome experience. More later

[PastelGravel]

Dude. I know. Read my post. Sheesh.

Yeah, check the original rules...there were different directions before where you could have her sign one thing....they changed it to In Your Dreams only yesterday. :rolleyes:

Jamie, I'm dying to hear about what happened. So happy for you all!!!!

[Allycattt]

Oh my goodness. I just got home. My friend and i cried like babys the whole way home.

[WildHearted]

Oh my goodness. I just got home. My friend and i cried like babys the whole way home.

Aw. I'm assuming it was a good cry. :)

I hope everyone has good stories to share!

[Gypsybecca]

My experience (for what it's worth! ). :wavey:

First off- how cool are my fellow Ledgies? Getting in so early was painful and you all made the day so cool with stories and laughs, thanks peeps.

Meeting Stevie for the first time? Priceless!

I've been waiting pretty much my entire life for this day, so here goes-I was 14th in line, behind Jamie and Scott. I bougt the cd and litho and we were given post it's to write our name on. The signing began on time and it went pretty quickly. I walked up and handed Stevie my litho. She read my name and said that it was one of her favorite names, and the name of a best friend. This totally threw me off and I had no response...lol...so, I told her I love In Your Dreams and would she please draw a wild heart (thanks Curtis for the idea!). She said yes, and began to draw, but she drew long wings, and she surprised me that she really took the time to draw long wings on the heart, then she noticed that the Sharpie had skipped, so she went over all her lines again and added some dots...I was freaking out!!! was she really taking this long on my wild heart? Yes! She then looked at me and said, You're own little piece of art! I about died. I told her that I adored her and her drawing meant the world to me. She said, thank you and I choked up as I walked away.

It still seems unreal, but what a spectacular day. So happy I got to share it with such sweet people. Could Stevie be any more beautiful?

:wavey:

Keep the stories coming people :angel:

This is amazing!!! So cool that you got to meet her!! I can only imagine how you must be feeling right now!! The fact that she took the time to make your wild heart extra special was so sweet of her!! I'm totally excited for you guys! Thanks for sharing your special experience!

[daniellaaarisen]

I totally lucked out and got two signings and stood next to her foe 5 minutes. My experience couldn't have been any better. I'm heading home so I'll write more then.

[Allycattt]

Kay. Here's my story.! I basically got there around 4:30 with my friend. There weren't many people there yet so we ended up being numbers 25 and 26. After we hung out in line all morning and got our wristbands we just walked around, went to the mall, did whatever. And when we got back I seriously flipped out. I started thinking about what was going to say to her and everything. Lol. By the time It was my turn, I hadn't thought of anything. Hahahahahaha. So I just thanked her for her incredible music and told her that Edge of Seventeen has been my jam because I just turned seventeen and she asked me if I saw Americas Got Talent and I told her yes(: and that It was really nice to see her change it up a bit and she rocked the house down(; and then I told her that she has a fantastic fanbase and that I made a few friends that day (and was even adopted! Thanks Daniel & Lindsay(; ) and through-out this whole conversation she was holdng my hands and rubbing them between hers. She has the softest hands in the entire universe. Like seriously. Omg. And then she signed my litho and I started crying as I walked away... And didnt stop until I got home... lmao.


She's so beautiful in person. Like. Even more beautiful than on television. Her skin is flawless. And her voice is much more quiet when shes just talking to you rather than taking to an interviewer or a camera. When I first heard her voice my nerves immediately went away(:

My life is now complete<333

LOL :lol: Was that you? I didn't see you but a couple people said to me, did you see that girl, she was crying!!

Being a man & macho and all, I held back my tears!! :rolleyes: What a awesome night, K time for bed more tomorrow guys.

[Allycattt]

LOL :lol: Was that you? I didn't see you but a couple people said to me, did you see that girl, she was crying!!

LOL. No. At least i don't THINK so. Hahaha. My eyes started watering and then when i got out of the store Is when I went into baby mode. Lmao. They were probably talking about Daniel(; She was a hot mess. But it was so cute.

I hope you're doing okay girlyy!

[RockAlot]

So there was several crying tonight! I think I cried a little bit too, but on the inside! :o

[Allycattt]

Yeah. There was a girl that came alone and she was quiet the ENTIRE time until she met Stevie and she cried, and then my friend and I did, and quite a few other people... I guess it was just a big ol' cry fest(;

[jellyman10]

Like our old Brit joke that the Queen thinks the whole world smells like fresh paint, because everywhere she goes has just been spruced up for her visit. Must be like that for Stevie, to Karen: 'What? What's happened? How come everyone's bawling their frickin eyes out????''

Very happy for everyone who got to meet our girl. :thumbsup:
Look forward to reading more stories!

[daniellaaarisen]

I hope you're doing okay girlyy!

Definitely me. I have no shame. I somewhat held it together until I was out of Stevie's eyesight -- I only cried for a like 15 or 30 seconds in front of her before I pulled it together, and I'm pretty sure I was coherent :lol:

What an amazing experience. I just got home after driving to and from LA in the last 24 hours... I am so damn tired. It was so great to make new friends and see old ones. Loved seeing Lindsay, Jamie, Becca, Ally, Marisa, Anna, Rick and many other fans! Speaking of new friends, everyone here needs to know that Ally is the most beautiful girl on this entire planet. You think I'm joking but I'm not.

When I was in line waiting for my turn, I paid close attention to Stevie's interactions with other people. She told two girls in front of me, "don't cry, don't cry!" so I spent a good ten minutes trying to compose myself. I was feeling pretty good about it by the time it was my turn, so I walked up to her and said "hi Stevie!" in the most bubbly voice I can, plopping my litho and letter to her on the table. My first sentences came out just fine but when I started talking in more detail about how Stevie inspired me to start writing, I choked up.... and then I cried. When I got emotional, I had my hands by my sides. Stevie reached way over the table to grab my right hand and squeezed it with both her hands while looking straight at me. I told her that she helped me discover the passion that I want to pursue for the rest of my life -- that's the greatest gift one person to give to another. She said, "there's absolutely nothing more important than having a passion. I know too many people without one and they are living such sad, sad lives. I am so glad that I helped you find yours." I then told her that as much as I loved her music, I thought of her as a writer first and foremost, and she gave me a big smile at this. At this point, Stevie went to sign my paper, I stopped crying and Karen grabbed my envelope off the table, shook it a little and said with a big smile, "I've got this". I'm hoping that's a good sign, because I would love nothing more than for Stevie to actually read that letter. Karen was so lovely to me today -- we talked a tiny bit.

Then Karen realized that Stevie spelled my name wrong -- I was "Daniella" instead of "Danielle" even though she had a post-it right in front of her face with my name correctly spelled :lol: Stevie asked someone to get me another litho and then told me to stand just to the side so someone else could come through as we waited. I then stood about two feet from Stevie for five minutes, watching her sign everyone else's stuff and talking to her between people. During the transition from one fan to another, I told her that I drove down from San Francisco and that I was going to Red Rocks. She's very excited for Red Rocks and told me that she'll be leaving tomorrow for Denver. After 4 or 5 signings, someone finally brought me a new litho and Stevie signed this one. She kept repeating my name, "okay Danielle, I'll get it right this time Danielle!" and I had a little heart attack every time I heard MY NAME come out of STEVIE NICKS' MOUTH. I then told her that I knew Dave Young, her high school sweetheart, because he taught me in elementary school. She loved this and told me that Dave was her first love before Lindsey came along :lol: I told her that I met her briefly when I was nine thanks to Dave, and that she read some of my poetry backstage and made comments about it that made me the happiest 4th grader on earth at the time. I told her that her supportive words made me decide to take my writing more seriously. I also told her that Dave found out that I was a fan of hers because I was singing "Nightbird" while twirling one day at recess, and she found that pretty funny :lol: Then I said goodbye and walked about 10 steps away from her before I absolutely lost my sh*t. I was a weepy mess for a while, but who wouldn't be?! I've wanted to tell Stevie about her influence on my writing for years, and I really do believe that she understood how important it was to me, that my love for her music went so far beyond her. When she listens to you, she really, really listens.

Everyone told me that my love for Stevie would grow after this signing and I didn't believe them -- my heart would explode. However, I now know what they all meant. I am SO glad that I went to this signing and I'm hoping I'll get to talk to her again in the future.

I'm hoping that's a good sign, because I would love nothing more than for Stevie to actually read that letter. Karen was so lovely to me today -- we talked a tiny bit.

Then Karen realized that Stevie spelled my name wrong -- I was "Daniella" instead of "Danielle" even though she had a post-it right in front of her face with my name correctly spelled :lol: Stevie asked someone to get me another litho and then told me to stand just to the side so someone else could come through as we waited. I then stood about two feet from Stevie for five minutes, watching her sign everyone else's stuff and talking to her between people. During the transition from one fan to another, I told her that I drove down from San Francisco and that I was going to Red Rocks. She's very excited for Red Rocks and told me that she'll be leaving tomorrow for Denver. After 4 or 5 signings, someone finally brought me a new litho and Stevie signed this one. She kept repeating my name, "okay Danielle, I'll get it right this time Danielle!" and I had a little heart attack every time I heard MY NAME come out of STEVIE NICKS' MOUTH. I then told her that I knew Dave Young, her high school sweetheart, because he taught me in elementary school. She loved this and told me that Dave was her first love before Lindsey came along :lol: I told her that I met her briefly when I was nine thanks to Dave, and that she read some of my poetry backstage and made comments about it that made me the happiest 4th grader on earth at the time. I told her that her supportive words made me decide to take my writing more seriously. I also told her that Dave found out that I was a fan of hers because I was singing "Nightbird" while twirling one day at recess, and she found that pretty funny :lol: Then I said goodbye and walked about 10 steps away from her before I absolutely lost my sh*t. I was a weepy mess for a while, but who wouldn't be?! I've wanted to tell Stevie about her influence on my writing for years, and I really do believe that she understood how important it was to me, that my love for her music went so far beyond her. When she listens to you, she really, really listens.

Everyone told me that my love for Stevie would grow after this signing and I didn't believe them -- my heart would explode. However, I now know what they all meant. I am SO glad that I went to this signing and I'm hoping I'll get to talk to her again in the future.

Dani, so so happy for you and everyone else that you got to live out one of your dreams yesterday! Looking forward to hearing more about it when you come east for the Sept shows!

[poetinmyheart]

so thrilled for everyone. Sounds amazing. What a great year this has been for Stevie fans!

[Aussie W/Heart]

I'm so happy for you all, meeting Stevie is such an awesome, & amazing experience, you will remember every detail for the rest of your life. I can still remember every word spoken from our 10 min conversation 31 yrs ago (1980) Stevie will always stay in my heart & soul forever:angel: Anyway keep the stories coming in:thumbsup:

[vivfox]

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The legendary Stevie Nicks is about to hit the road to promote her hit album "In Your Dreams."

It's a hit on the Billboard charts and Nicks wants it to stay that way. She went to Amoeba Records in Hollywood to meet fans and sign copies of her first solo album in 10 years.

"It's hard to sell records in this day and age, unless you're Lady Gaga or unless you're in that youthful kind of dance performance artist thing," said Nicks. "Which is great, but then there are the rest of us."

Nicks performed the first single off the album on "Dancing With The Stars" back in May and she hasn't stopped since.

"I will stand out on a street corner if I have to and play these songs with a boom box and a TV track if I have to get these songs out to the public," said Nicks.

Nicks has been bringing us songs since the 1970s, proving a classic never goes out of style because she's still singing.

Her longtime fans couldn't be happier. One woman drove in from Portland, Oregon.

"I love Stevie Nicks and I've never met her," said fan Anita Kayed. "I've been a fan for about 28 years and I've seen about 102 concerts."

"I've followed her for about 35 years," said Doug Shipley. "And like Anita, I have never met her and it's my life's dream too."

The songs included on "In Your Dreams" involve life and love. But there's also a social relevance; everything from hurricane Katrina, Sept. 11, and U.S. troops.

"I just feel that, we as musicians and songwriters, we have a job," said Nicks. "And that is to, whether you're Bob Dylan or whether you're me, we have a job to try to not only write good romantic music, but we're also kind of reporting the news as we go along also."

"In Your Dreams" is in stores now.

I can still remember every word spoken from our 10 min conversation 31 yrs ago (1980)
:

Oh I love this story! This is the one where in Australia you just happened to hop on a bus and there was Fleetwood Mac, right?

[daniellaaarisen]

About to leave for work and immerse myself back in the real world. Why can't I just meet Stevie every day? :nod:

[Ghost_Tracker]

Definitely me. I have no shame. I somewhat held it together until I was out of Stevie's eyesight -- I only cried for a like 15 or 30 seconds in front of her before I pulled it together, and I'm pretty sure I was coherent :lol:

What an amazing experience. ..........-- that's the greatest gift one person to give to another. She said, "there's absolutely nothing more important than having a passion. I know too many people without one and they are living such sad, sad lives............. When she listens to you, she really, really listens. ........

Everyone told me that my love for Stevie would grow after this signing and I didn't believe them -- my heart would explode. However, I now know what they all meant. I am SO glad that I went to this signing and I'm hoping I'll get to talk to her again in the future.

So VERY happy that you finally got to meet her, Daniella! :]

I only wish that you had also mentioned to her that you helped create the games on her web site - she would have LOVED that!

Next time, perhaps.

Please also tell her that I'll try my best to move my tent out of the middle of her driveway before her limo zooms on by to take her to the sho- ooops gotta go, REALLY big guy headed this way! - GOSH he seems to be in a hurry - I wonder what he wants??? :lol:

Really though, I'm literally ecstatic for you. I can only imagine how much it means to you and what an experience it was for you. You're going to remember this FOREVER! :D



P.S.: 10,004.735 kudos to Karen for Attention to Detail and caring to fix it.

[Aussie W/Heart]

Oh I love this story! This is the one where in Australia you just happened to hop on a bus and there was Fleetwood Mac, right?

Yes that's the story, I know it sounds so unbelievable, & i love my story & so happy that you remembered it too!! lol :thumbsup: and the amazing thing was, it was Stevie that told the bus driver to stop, to let us on for a chat.. F/Mac were the only ones sitting in the bus, i didn't recognize Lindsey with his short hair at the time, though i remember thinking who is that good looking guy??? Anyway my eyes were fixed on Stevies the whole time, i kinda forgot that the rest of the band was there too... my bad.. lol

[SaraThePoet]

[QUOTE=daniellaaarisen;1003984]Definitely me. I have no shame. I somewhat held it together until I was out of Stevie's eyesight -- I only cried for a like 15 or 30 seconds in front of her before I pulled it together, and I'm pretty sure I was coherent :lol:

What an amazing experience. I just got home after driving to and from LA in the last 24 hours... I am so damn tired. It was so great to make new friends and see old ones. Loved seeing Lindsay, Jamie, Becca, Ally, Marisa, Anna, Rick and many other fans! Speaking of new friends, everyone here needs to know that Ally is the most beautiful girl on this entire planet. You think I'm joking but I'm not.

When I was in line waiting for my turn, I paid close attention to Stevie's interactions with other people. She told two girls in front of me, "don't cry, don't cry!" so I spent a good ten minutes trying to compose myself. I was feeling pretty good about it by the time it was my turn, so I walked up to her and said "hi Stevie!" in the most bubbly voice I can, plopping my litho and letter to her on the table. My first sentences came out just fine but when I started talking in more detail about how Stevie inspired me to start writing, I choked up.... and then I cried. When I got emotional, I had my hands by my sides. Stevie reached way over the table to grab my right hand and squeezed it with both her hands while looking straight at me. I told her that she helped me discover the passion that I want to pursue for the rest of my life -- that's the greatest gift one person to give to another. She said, "there's absolutely nothing more important than having a passion. I know too many people without one and they are living such sad, sad lives. I am so glad that I helped you find yours." I then told her that as much as I loved her music, I thought of her as a writer first and foremost, and she gave me a big smile at this. At this point, Stevie went to sign my paper, I stopped crying and Karen grabbed my envelope off the table, shook it a little and said with a big smile, "I've got this".

Well that was damn awesome to read!!! I was almost in tears myself. So excited for you,and it is so awesome to know what a sweetheart she is:nod:

[jkmaletic]

Hey Everyone,

I have to leave for work soon, but I thought I could get a short version down of my experience.
Thanks to all the Ledgies who were there in line with me yesterday. It was fun all being delerious together! :D

They were letting fans up to her table one at a time, which kinda surprised me. When it was my time to see Stevie, the Amoeba staff took my purse, and left me with just my Lithograph. Then they said to go ahead. As I took those four steps towards her table I thought, this is it...
I got to her table and I said, "Hi Stevie" and she said hello and we shook hands. (It seems like she stood up for this-maybe not-I don't know). Then she sat to start the signing process and I told her that this had been a very amazing year for me as far as her and her music was concerned because I was able to go to Sunset Sessions, see her in Vegas, and was there at the Wiltern. She looked up and said, "oh wow!" And then I said that now meeting her was the culmination of all those things and that it meant the world to me. She smiled. I told her I was a friend Gia's (mutual friend), and she said, "Oh?" and that I wasn't sure if she'd remember, but I was the one who made and sent her the Destiny Rules comic book back in 2004. She nodded and said, "Yes-yes.." And I told her that I still have the copy that she signed for me and that I was told that you/she really liked it. Karen popped up and said, "EVERYONE loved that!" Then I told Stevie her music really touches me and that it's very healing. I told her it really helps because I lost my Mom. (this is when my voice started cracking) Stevie looked right at me squarely and took both my hands, squeezed them and kind of cocked her head to the side sympathetically and quietly said, "ohhh..." Then I just said , Thank You, and then I left.
I don't even remember someone giving me my purse back or my lithograph, but someone handed it to me. I was in a fog after that and kind of stood in the record store to compose myself. It was very emotional. I cried a couple times on the way home, but they were happy tears. I didn't expect that. But then again, a major dream of mine FINALLY came true.

There's a couple more things I might add later, but I gotta go to work. (and still act like I'm getting over the flu.:thumbsup:)

[Aussie W/Heart]

Thanks for sharing your stories, so much fun reading them:thumbsup:

[mezzoforte]

I am loving these stories! So happy for all of you!

[GypsySorcerer]

So thrilled for everyone who met Stevie. It almost seems like she personalizes each little encounter with the fans, instead of just generically saying "thanks."

I hope one day to meet her.

[SuzeQuze]

Oh yes that's her!!! Anita, someone just posted this clip on FB and I got so excited to see you on in it! Haha, I hope your experience with Stevie was great. :) Can't wait to hear about it!

[jkmaletic]

Can one of you Ledgies who got the lithograph measure it and post the measurements here? I meant to do it before i left work and forgot. I want to get a frame for it on the way home.

Thanks!

Jamie

[Bryan]

So happy for everyone :)
You were always meant to meet her it's just a question of when..karma!:angel:

[WildHearted]

Wow, everyone's stories are simply amazing. What an awesome experience it seems to have been for each and every one of you - I am so glad you were all able to meet her. I really enjoyed reading you all's accounts of what happened, so thank you so much for sharing. In all of the recounts, Stevie seems undeniably sweet and caring and personable, which we all knew, but it is so good to hear. This has been an awesome year for fans.

Now I really want to meet her myself someday, more than ever. :lol:

[jcfree]

Thanks to everyone who posted their personal experience meeting Stevie yesterday!
I could feel your emotions through what you've written and it brought tears to my eyes. It sounds, Stevie had a profound emotional connection with every one of the people who were lucky to get the chance to meet her!:angel:

[MacMan]

Jamie

[UndoingTheLaces]

I am so happy for all of you. This is so cool. Thank you for sharing your stories with us.

[SapphireSister]

Ok so here it goes...for me it was totally about the whole experience - the waking up at 4 a.m. and waiting in line till 10 a.m. (although I did manage to nap in the car for 45 min.), seeing and meeting Ledgies and other fans (Hi Gina, Becca, Rick, Anita, Danni, Brad, Ally, Marisa, I love you all and anyone else I forgot to mention!!), the anticipation, and the emotion of the entire day. I'm still on my Stevie cloud so please forgive me. I was number 23 by the way...

When I walked up to the table, Stevie was not paying attention to me so I was "Stevie, hi!" trying to get her attention and finally she looked me in the eye and said "Hi, how are you?" as if she totally recognized me!! OMG you guys I know this literally sounds impossible but we did have quite a lengthy 1 on 1 interaction in San Diego and if she has seen any of the fan footage from the documentary I was on there. So I know this is a long shot and I can't believe it myself but she totally knew who I was!! I also met her in 2003 but I'm sure she did not remember that. So my overall feeling from the whole experience before I go into detail was that it felt as though we were all old friends, like totally just chatting away. It did not feel like "OMG you are Stevie Nicks and I am Lindsay, big fan". It felt so natural. This could also be attributed to the fact that I've met her before so I wasn't totally gushing. Before the show I was interviewed and they asked me what I would ask Stevie if I had one question and I had thought about it all day and decided it was going to be about happiness since this is something I've been contemplating a lot on lately with myself lately and we all know how Stevie has been going on and on about how happy she is recently so that was basically the heart of the conversation. I told her that me seeing her happier than she's ever been made me so happy and that she gave me hope that I too can someday experience joy in life as she has. She grabbed my hands when I first went up but then let go and later in the conversation I asked her for them back and she obliged! Then I asked her "What is it about the last year or so that brought you to this happy place?" and she basically started telling me the whole story with the recording of IYD and working with Dave at her house, the dinners, and how it brought her back to experiencing true joy, like a child. and I actually stopped her and said "Yeah, i know the whole story Stevie". The most important thing I wanted to impress upon her was how much it meant to me that she was happy and how she gave me hope and I think my point came through loud and clear.
When it came to signing my litho Karen pipped in and said "Stevie, make sure you spell Lindsay with an a and not an e" and I looked at Stevie and said "Yes, please spell it with an a or I will be devastated!" and she said "I know, I know but I'm so used to spelling it with an e" and we both giggled.
Overall it was an absolutely amazing day, one of the best of my life and one I will never forget it. Hanging with the other chiffonheads all day long was equally as powerful as meeting Stevie if I do say so myself. The bond is one I will forever cherish and I feel so fortunate to have so many people around me who feel the same about Stevie.

I like this. :laugh:

[michelej1]

Like our old Brit joke that the Queen thinks the whole world smells like fresh paint, because everywhere she goes has just been spruced up for her visit. Must be like that for Stevie, to Karen: 'What? What's happened? How come everyone's bawling their frickin eyes out????''



Yes and Stevie can see that from the stage when she's performing too. When she looks down at the crowd and sees several people in tears. Must happen every concert night.

Michele

[michelej1]

Then Karen realized that Stevie spelled my name wrong -- I was "Daniella" instead of "Danielle" even though she had a post-it right in front of her face with my name correctly spelled :

Oh my goodness. I never think of your name this way. I'm just as confused as Stevie:laugh:. Your experience was so moving, especially when she reached over and grabbed your hand. Thank you for sharing that with us.

I'm glad fans had a fun experience, but I have to agree with you. If there's one little thing that bugs me, it's fans who think they know everything. In reality there are probably a million little things we may never know because Stevie and her friends may never share with us and we'll never be in her circle to really know. This is said not to step on anyones toes. Just being real. :)

[GoldDustWoman22]

Wow this is so cool everyone! Thanks for sharing your stories!! I can't imagine how it must've felt to meet her...so special :nod:. It warms me to know that she was so kind and personable to each of your fans. It sounds like she made it feel as if you two were the only people in the room which is awesome. Thanks again for the stories!

[Macfanforever]

Again I'm glad that all of you had a great time meeting Stevie.I love the stories.Some day I will have one too.It probably was the best time in the world.Ok .I'm just wondering.Was it a good turnout.was all 200 wristbands were used.Also what was the average time spent with Stevie.How long did she stay to sign everybodies Litho's.

She DID make us feel like we were the only two in the room, which explains why i still have no idea how i got my purse and litho back afterwards!

I wasn't paying attention.

[SapphireSister]

SapphireSister: But, didn't you just ask Stevie what brought her to such a happy place? So why then cut her off by telling her you know the whole story?

Well thanks, Debbie Downer. That was the flow of the conversation and I did not cut her off or imply that she needed to cut her story short. I simply wanted her to know that I knew about her experience with Dave from what she's been saying, that's all. It was more like I was agreeing with her. Not to mention I had limited time and didn't want to take to much being that I had other things to say to her and there were 177 people behind me waiting. Again, thanks for undermining my experience. Real nice. And also thanks to others who agreed and felt the need to post it but you know what, no one can rain on my Stevie parade! :p

glad everyone had a good time since shes not playing LA! now its time for red rocks!

Thanks .they used all of them.Yes I probably would not pay attention either because I would be talking to the fans and being so shocked that I there with the so special person that I enjoyed almost all of my life.hehehe.

[fringed n fab]

(Sapphire) We never intended to undermine your experience, I think it was the way we had read it sorry. I think what we were getting at was we all know Stevie is ever the storyteller, so if you had a moment with her and she was sharing something with you, you would NEVER cut her short. You take it in and listen :nod: But you clarified that's not how it was. That's all. But I will stand by my statement that there are some fans who believe they know all things Stevie/Mac and it's nauseating sometimes to listen to them when they were not there all 30+ years just like the rest of us in their inner circle.

All of these personal stories are just so cool. Where are some pics BTW?

Thank you! I personally don't have any pics but am waiting for Danni, Anita, and whomever else got pics with me in them to post or email them to me (hint)!! Also, Amoeba had someone from the store taking pics and I was in one of them so hopefully they have posted or will post that on their website. I haven't checked...

Edit: here are some but they were taking pictures of us also out in front while we were waiting.

Why is she always signing her cds too far from Tennessee? It was Barnes and Noble, and somewhere in the UK, now the lucky Californians, still I love her!:blob2:

[tabruns]

Well thanks, Debbie Downer. That was the flow of the conversation and I did not cut her off or imply that she needed to cut her story short. I simply wanted her to know that I knew about her experience with Dave from what she's been saying, that's all. It was more like I was agreeing with her. Not to mention I had limited time and didn't want to take to much being that I had other things to say to her and there were 177 people behind me waiting. Again, thanks for undermining my experience. Real nice. And also thanks to others who agreed and felt the need to post it but you know what, no one can rain on my Stevie parade! :p

Well sorry to be a downer but I was just honestly confused by why you'd ask her the question but then tell her already know the answer.:shrug:

[Macfanforever]

Video coverage of the signing from KABC. And that's you GarboSpeaks, right? Thinking you must be the Anita from Oregon. :blob1: How cool that you will have this on video for posterity now! Anyone else spot themselves?:confused:

Anyone else can be picked out of the KABC video.

[SapphireSister]

Well sorry to be a downer but I was just honestly confused by why you'd ask her the question but then tell her already know the answer.:shrug:

I didn't know her answer to the question, I already knew that Dave and recording of IYD was one thing that made her happy. I did not know if that was the only thing or what her answer to my question would be. Anyway, it's all good :nod:.

[jkmaletic]

Again I'm glad that all of you had a great time meeting Stevie.I love the stories.Some day I will have one too.It probably was the best time in the world.Ok .I'm just wondering.Was it a good turnout.was all 200 wristbands were used.Also what was the average time spent with Stevie.How long did she stay to sign everybodies Litho's.

Let me tell you a buddy of mine ( who i met at the wiltern) experience.

His name is Justin and he was 102 in line. He said to Stevie, " i feel sorry for you." She said, " why?" And he said, "because you will never get to experience what it's like to meet you." She totally cracked up, and the best part is he had someone he knew in line take a photo as this was happening. It's a priceless picture, cuz Stevie has her hand out to him with a gigantic smile!

That is a great opener! And it's so true.

Oh i forgot to tell you Stevies response - " believe me, that's a good thing!"

That is the cutest thing ever. What an awesome photo that sounds like!

ETA: Hahaha.. "That's a good thing'? What does she mean....

[Gypsybecca]

Ok, I have to share this....I was so nervous about meeting Stevie that I didn't know what to say to her..I couldn't stop thinking alllll day about what i would say. So.....

During lunch with Dani and Lindsay (coolest chicks) I almost had an adult milkshake...whiskey involved. If I had done that, I would have totally lost inhibition and asked Stevie to write something funny. If she appeared to be in a fun, playful mood, I was going to hand her my litho and ask her if she could use the words "love and sex" in a sentence. haaahahahhaaa. :nod:

So, Dani and Lindsay said...uhhh..no! :mad:

If I had asked her that, it could have been a fun moment or it could have been a disaster with her being offended! :shrug:

I'm happy with my experience as it was, but,I almost wish I had asked her to write that....does anyone think she would have? Can you imagine having a litho with Stevie's writing that reads, "I'd love to have sex..or would you love to have sex with me?". :eek:
:lol:

[jkmaletic]

That is the cutest thing ever. What an awesome photo that sounds like!

I was wondering what she meant by that too...

I'm happy for all of you! What an experience! Maybe one day I'll get the cnahce to meet her too.:)

[Heartboy]

Whoever cut Stevie off should be sent to the dog house!:wavey:


That record store looks awesome! :)

I can spend hours on those places!

LOL .that was funny.That made her day.Hey MacMan.Nice photo .Big Smile too.

[RockAlot]

K guys here's my story and I'm sticking to it!!

Me: Hi Stevie I'm Rick & its such a pleasure to finally meet you.

Stevie: Hi Rick, nice to meet you too. (takes my poster & starts to sign)

Me: Yes its Ric (i sometime spell it Ric just to be different)

Me: You know you've had me since The Chain back in what late 70's?

Stevie: You know that is my song, allot of people think that is a FM song but its mine.

Me: No I don't think I knew that, but its our song now. (WTF, did I just say that? guys it just came out!! :laugh:)

Me: Hey do you remember the show in the San Diego area when someone took your ring and

Stevie: And they gave it back! Yeah I remember...

Me: (total shock as i wasnt sure she remembered, it was a good 20 yrs ago & in irvine btw)

Stevie: Ya know they also took a velvet jacket of mine that night...and I got that back too!!!

Me: Wow, you have the best fans ever!

Stevie: I know :D

Me: Thank you so much! ( i walked away with this "huge" smile on my face...) :blob2::blob2:

[RockAlot]

I didn't know her answer to the question, I already knew that Dave and recording of IYD was one thing that made her happy. I did not know if that was the only thing or what her answer to my question would be. Anyway, it's all good :nod:.

Sweetie its all good!! I cant wait to see & hang with you again! Hey want to hang out at Red Rocks next week? :nod::nod::laugh:

[WildHearted]

That was a cute little dialogue, Rick :)

The Chain is an interesting little diddy. :nod: It's still a Fleetwood Mac song, though, Stevie, even if you apparently wrote it. :lol:

[RockAlot]

K...but did she? :lol: I honestly don't know :shrug: its all good ...;)

[WildHearted]

K...but did she? :lol: I honestly don't know :shrug: its all good ...;)

I feel like that's what she was trying to say :shrug: All 5 of them were credited as writers of the song on the record, but Stevie's alluded in the past (if memory serves) that she really wrote a majority of the song and the whole chain thing was all her idea. :lol: Who knows, though, except them I guess. Then there are recordings of them jamming and stuff where you can hear that Lindsey does come up with the opening line, and they were all kind of working it out and contributing (but it sounded a lot different).

[WildHeartCa]

Ok - I was #44 - I was VERY lucky to get huge 11x14 of me and Stevie signed.

When it was my turn I went up and unwrapped my lithograph with my photo and asked Karen to please not be angry I just want my photo signed and she said yes but only one thing and I said yes just my photo thank you.

Then forgetting my name was on the post it, Stevie suddenly said Hello Anna and grabbed my right hand with her left - I then said Ms. Nicks can you please sign my photo and she said of course and then she looked at it and asked me where it was taken and I told her it was taken 10 years ago over at Paramount Studios when she came to see the Chris Issak premiere and then as she was studying it she saw her necklace and pointed and said out loud to Karen and me "oh look, the necklace Don Henley gave me" and then I handed her a silver sharpee to sign - she was touching my photo all over

While she was signing I said to Karen - thank you again for stopping last week at NBC and then Stevie said "Yes I remember you from last week at the Tonight Show" - from that moment on I melted or blacked out - imagine being told by my goddess that she remembered me.

I remember thanking her and asking for my silver sharpee back and she said "oh sorry, there you go" thanked her again and then walked away.

What a night -

If anyone out there has any friends who took a picture of me speaking with her, I was #44, I was wearing black jeans and dark royal blue shirt and I have permed hair, I would be eternally grateful.

I need to sleep now, I've been a zombie all day.

Please someone out there, I really need to get a photo.

Thank you fellow ledgies. Feel free to contact me privately if necessary.

[Gypsybecca]

Anita! I dvr'd the local news last night and just saw your interview on KABC. You looked so cool! I saw Jamie and Scott in the background. I think it's online if you haven't seen it yet.

Thanks everyone for sharing their stories, I have loved reading all of them.

[GarboSpeaks!]

After a long drive, and some errands, I am back, with lots to tell, many people to thank and agh, I wish it weren't over. I also met Stevie after the line was finished, got my photo w/ her...did I mention I wish it weren't over??? I haven't even read the whole thread, but wow. Just wow. Ledgies and SN fans in general are pretty effing cool. I'm glad to be a fan of Stevie to have such company to keep! Will post as soon as the ringing in my head stops. LOTS of driving!!! =0( All worth it tho!!

[WildHearted]

All of these stories are so wonderful and unique. I love hearing them and I am beyond thrilled that everyone had such a fabulous time meeting Stevie. :)

I was stoked when I saw you walk by with "your" photo signed in silver by Stevie!!!!!!I had a b&w litho I wanted signed, they said no & took it away, girl in front of me had a Red Rocks CD she wanted signed, they took that away from her too! You are one lucky duckie !!!!!!!!!!!! I seriously couldn't be happier for you, yeah you!

I also want to mention that due to this fantastic event, I was able to make some additional new Stevie friends and that is something I hope Stevie realizes - she has the power to unite people who'll form bonds of friendship that is truly unique

Photo number 7 is Stevie signing my lithograph! (I recognize my ring on my left hand)

I can't believe this.... my luck is not often this fortunate. They only put 12 photos altogether on their website and I'm in one of them. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! I am truly blessed this year.

The music was written first between Mick, John, Lindsey, and Chris. However, they had a hard time writing words to fit so Stevie gave them a poem she had already written to use as the lyrics.

Thanks! I'm still in shock. My girlfriend saw it this morning and yelled, "jamie! " I ran over to her thinking something was wrong and she said, "you're gonna die." And showed it to me.

Its so hard being at work and not being able to show my absolute happiness. :laugh:
i plan to tell them on monday , and i'll say it happened on sunday.


Jamie

[JamieK]

WOW!! That is sooooooo great Jamie ... for all that you went through to get there!:nod:

Now, where exactly in your house will you be hanging that framed photo, or, uh, will it be poster size?


"Its so hard being at work and not being able to show my absolute happiness. :laugh:

Thanks for posting the actual photo Danielle. I've always had trouble doing that here. Not the most flattering pic of me, but i dont care!

I made sure i downloaded to my computer and saved it. Im going to call Amoeba at lunch and thank them for the great job they did with this.

Danielle - i enjoyed getting to know you too! I think we helped each other calm down that day! Youre like the little sister i never had. :D

You were tweeting the small version so I just wanted to make sure that you had the bigger one! It's such a perfect photo -- I'm so, so glad that they posted this for you.

We totally did help each other calm down... I was watching you before your time with Stevie to make sure that you were doing okay and then you looked in my direction just in time for me to give you that thumbs up! I'll see you at the next Stevie event, my big sister of the moon! :xoxo:

[Allycattt]

Yeah, I was wondering who they were too... They were really nice! They were talkig to me while I waited in line.

[daniellaaarisen]

A photo that a friend took of me and Stevie.... I have photographic documentation of her face when she was listening to me.... holy sh*t. This may not be a world class quality picture but I am SO happy this popped up.

http://i53.tinypic.com/2chrf2x.png

[jkmaletic]

How cool is that?!! Stevie is definitely listening intently, like she does. I'm so happy for you Dani!! :)

[jkmaletic]

I was thinking how funny it is that during most circumstances, Stevie does most of the talking. Good thing we do most of the talking during these meet and greets, otherwise they would never finish them! Not that i would mind listening to Stevie ramble on for hours! :)

I hope someone somewhere got a picture me that would pop up.

So happy for you!

[daniellaaarisen]

Yes. she's tuned right in to you.I'm very happy for you.It looks that Marty and Karen are having a great time too.

I know!!!!!!!! aklhajlhaejhkaklj!!! I love this picture because you can tell that we had our eyes locked and I was talking about something deep/personal. Fortunately for me, this was the nature of the majority of our conversation.

By the way, Karen was really sweet to me. Next time I see her at a show, I'm totally going to say hi!
