:blob1: :blob2: Columbus Day weekend too!

[LilyRose]

:blob2: I'm flailing!!!!!!! I'm sooooo excited! :blob1:

[LilyRose]

I'm on my phone so I can't look, but does it say there's a pre-sale?

[HejiraNYC]

No presale. $120.50 including all TM fees, which makes it a smidge cheaper than the Wiltern. I wasn't sure this was going to be a public gig, so I am so relieved!!!

[LilyRose]

Is this being recorded?

[Amlyn]

Is this being recorded?

She's doing 2 nights at a small venue...maybe!

[HejiraNYC]

October 5 in Saratoga, CA!!!

BRB passing out.

[BigStevieFan66]

Woooo Freakin HOOOOO! This is the best news!! Thank you Stevie for adding some west coast dates!

[daniellaaarisen]

Right when I leave the bay area. Shoot me, please.

[WildHearted]

This makes me really happy, even though I won't be able to attend any of these! I'm just glad she's doing more shows.

I'll be over in my little corner wishing and praying that the Fillmore shows will be filmed. I would love, love, love to have a professionally shot recording from this tour of the whole show.

[tothegypsy]

I'm very excited, but there's also a part of me that's a little sad that the West Coast is getting more intimate shows, while Webster Hall was never rescheduled.

[Josh2003]

Dramatics much? You've seen her how many times?

[Neal]

I'm sooooo there!!! :blob1::blob2::blob1::blob2:

[daniellaaarisen]

Dramatics much? You've seen her how many times?

And made huge financial sacrifices to do it. I live in Saratoga. This hurts.

[LilyRose]

I'm so sorry you won't be able to go. :(

[skcin]

LOL. There goes my diet coke.

[SaraThePoet]

My birthday is the 6th. Thank you Stephanie,for giving me an excuse to fly across the country and spend it in California :) Yaaaayyyyyy:D:D:D:D

[jkmaletic]

SO CAL NEXT PLEASE!!! SMALL VENUE PLEASE!!

Jamie

[RockAlot]

I tooooo am there, I just knew she would give us "something" for us here in Calif.
I'm also seeing Lindsey in Nappa Valley on the 25th so seeing both of them in the same month :] for me!!

The two night show back to back is a good time to film if something in the 1st show is not good they could use footage from the 2nd night? Just a thought?

[RockAlot]

Right when I leave the bay area. Shoot me, please.

I thought this was pretty funny :laugh:

But on the other hand :distress:

[WildHearted]

If I had $600+ to spare...

Dang it.

[Amlyn]

I'm very much considering the x-country trip for the Fillmore show(s). I have miles that I can use! Just need to figure out the rest. And to think I was depressed about the shows ending 4 hours ago!!!

[mezzoforte]

See y'all at the Fillmore shows!

So excited!

[LilyRose]

I asked Dave Stewart if, by any chance, he was free October 8th and 9th. He responded, "I could be". Coy, very coy.

Eeeeeeeeep!

[ontheEdgeof17]

hrmmmmm. ;)

[RockAlot]

Another show added at the Mt. Winery.....could this be the 2nd leg we wished for?
Even so the Filmore show sound to good to miss.

[StevieRox81]

I'm very excited, but there's also a part of me that's a little sad that the West Coast is getting more intimate shows, while Webster Hall was never rescheduled.

Totally feel the same way...but I am grateful I was able to go to the Boston and Saratoga shows! :thumbsup: East coast vs West coast will never be 'fair.' I'm accepting it is what it is! :nod:

[STEVEHEDRICK]

how far is the airport from this venue?

[BombaySapphire3]

I knew she wouldn't leave us hanging.

[LilyRose]

how far is the airport from this venue?

20-30 minutes, depending on traffic.

[Phoenix]

And made huge financial sacrifices to do it. I live in Saratoga. This hurts.

I would have LOVED to go all over and see her like you have but I was making HUGE FINANCIAL SACRIFICES to pay for medical bills and rent. You've had a good run.

[BombaySapphire3]

I'd rather live in a cardboard box under the wharf rather than miss out on seeing Stevie !:]

[WelshWitchPMD]

I can go to these shows! I'm sure it means Stevie will contract Bora Bora disease moments before the show but I'm game.

[LilyRose]

Forgive me, I'm in a stupid Stevie stupor, but this means everyone pays $120 and we go and line up at like 5 a.m. to ensure front row, right?

[BombaySapphire3]

true ..but then maybe she'll reschedule them across the continent in similar city like Boston ..not too far from you!

[BombaySapphire3]

yep but at least the venue is not in the Tenderloin.:lol:

[LilyRose]

Ha! So true! But hell, I'd camp out in the Tenderloin for Stevie...nothing a shank can't handle. Lolol!

[SapphireSister]

Dear Stevie Gods-
Please make this happen. Amen.

[SpyNote]

The Fillmore shows will be phenomenal. I think B/N opened up for some bands here. Stevie might get very nostalgic. :woohoo:

The Mountain Winery is a brand new venue. It's a stunning place in the mountain overlooking the Bay Area. It is a place to spend the evening. Very upper-crest experience.

[Phoenix]

Well lucky for us stevie farts rainbows! and they lead to pots of gold! by golly, im one Stevie Concert away!! My Medical bills are AS GOOD AS PAID!!:]

[tothegypsy]

Why don't we focus on the good news at hand? We all make our own financial choices and we all have our own life circumstances. Let's not nitpick with each other :)

[STEVEHEDRICK]

I am concerned on how small the venues are very hard to secure seats?

[LilyRose]

It's standing room only.

LMFAO...just literally almost fell of the couch laughing at that one:D

Hmmmmmmm, this sound nice too!! Will need to check this place out, but also would just LOVE to see her at the Fillmore tooooo. OH what to do? Both :rolleyes: :nod::shrug:

[Macfanforever]

Great news for you Cali Ledgies .I knew wouldn't let you all down.

The Mountain Winery shows will be the more conservative of the Bay Area shows. This venue appeals to the Silicon Valley crowd, so it will be a mixed bag of people; some there to see Stevie specifically and many casual/non-fans looking for a fun night out. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a bunch of Silicon Valley CEOs in the front row, maybe even Larry Ellison! There are a lot of expensive restaurants and places for wine tasting on site, so it's a different kind of concert experience, very mellow, but high-end.

It's hard to get up to this venue (literally driving up the mountains), so allow PLENTY of time for traffic. I'd suggest at least 90 minutes because I recall it being a single road for at least part of the way. Be sure to park by the entrance as it is EXTREMELY difficult to get out of the venue after the concert (this was not thought out very well). One way in, one way out. When I saw Margaret Cho there last year, it took almost an hour to exit the venue, much of time spent in the car not moving. I don't think there is any other easy way to get to this venue (e.g. public transit).

The Fillmore shows, on the other hand, will be the true rock and roll experience :) Given it's small size, it will be packed with just diehards. It's basically general admission, standing room only with very limited side seating on the first and and second levels.

I'm debating whether I'll go to the Mountain Winery show. But I'm definitely doing the Fillmore.

[PastelGravel]

I KNEW this would happen! I even said it. If I go to NY she will announce CA dates thereafter. So you can all thank me, lol. Now how do I get more time off work? Ahhhhhhhhh. :laugh:

I have a feeling this will sell out quickly. :/

The Mountain Winery is a brand new venue. It's a stunning place in the mountain overlooking the Bay Area. It is a place to spend the evening. Very upper-crest experience.

What do you mean "brand new venue"? That thing is old. They've been doing concerts there since 1958 and it's a historical monument that winery.

Mountain Winery was in the news last year when a concert goer jumped to his death, landing directly on the stage during a performance by The Swell Season.

wow if that happened for something called The Swell Season:shrug:I can only imagine the carnage that could ensue with all those fanatical chiffonheads in the audience:distress:I think I'll stick to the Fillmore this time.:nod:

[SpyNote]

Sorry, not "brand new" but extensively renovated. The concert venue looks a lot different today than it did a few years ago. By adding more seating, I think they've attracted bigger names acts, like Stevie :)

[pattyfan]

The Mountain Winery is a great venue. It can be upper crust but isn't always. I went to see the Indigo Girls there last month and the crowd was really into it, singing songs, and even standing up and dancing. I also saw Cyndi Lauper there once and the crowd was totally into it. That said, the worse crowd I've ever been a part of was when I saw the Counting Crows there. Rich silicon valley jerks who didn't care at all about music. But with the economy the way it is, there is much much less of that.

Yes, it will be hard to get in and out, but it's like that for every show. Not hard, but you just have to be patient. If you get 3 people to a car, the $20 parking fee is reduced to $15. Also, it's all uphill, so if you get there late you will be in a long line. This has been a problem for my car, which isn't a automatic. So just plan accordingly. There is no public transportation and it isn't possible to walk because the venue is on the top of a very high hill/mountain.

The Fillmore is all standing room. I guess that people will start lining up early that day. I remember that when Tori Amos played there when she was super popular, people camped out over night to buy tickets because they were only selling them at the venue. In any case, it will be a fun line to wait in, I think. I'm going to try to go to two shows, I think.

If any of you are couchsurfers, you can find me there under the name Pattyfan in San Francisco. I might be able to put 1 or 2 people up for a night or two if you are coming for the Stevie shows. Contact me through that website.

OMeffingG, this is so cool. In all my wildest dreams (Stevism used on purpose) I never thought I'd see her at the Fillmore, and the Mountain Winery, well, that's just nuts.

[PastelGravel]

GO!! I think a bunch of us are going to come from out here and I'd love to see you again.

OMG we want to. I think we'd do Mountain Winery tho as Tod's not so into the whole General Admission thing. Are you going to Mountain Winery? We could have a Saratoga reunion...:)

How close is the Mountain Winery to San Fran?

[Somajoseph]

Wow, I had been bummed because she didnt play SF on this tour, but my faith is restored! And to play the Fillmore at that!
I have a trip to Seattle that weekend but I think I will have to fly back Sunday afternoon to make this show. This is really going to be historic, because she has talked about playing the Fillmore & going to see bands there back in the Fritz days.
The Fillmore is so intimate. I love the chandeliers that are hanging over the open floor. Also, when bands play there they usually give you a poster at the door with the artist and Fillmore date, it's really cool. I've got a nice Morrissey poster from his show there in 2007.
Thanks Stevie!!!

[Macfanforever]

I just notice this show on her WB site.

10/12 Anaheim, CA- The Grove

I had a feeling she was going to add another leg to the tour.

I'm proud of her doing so.I'm glad all of you will be getting Stevie shows in Cali.

[pattyfan]

The Mountain Winery is in Saratoga, which is about one hour (maybe a little under an hour) south of San Francisco. If you go to both shows, you'll have to rent a car for the MW show or maybe there will be people from this website that will go who you can get a ride with. Tickets for the Fillmore show are $125 but for the MW show they range from $70 to (gulp) $250.

I think I may end up only going to one of the Fillmore shows.

[HejiraNYC]

I am truly mystified about these smaller, general admission shows, e.g., The Grove of Anaheim. What is really going on with this woman? Is she trying out new material? Are these dress rehearsals for the Australian tour with Dave? I love her for doing this, but the mind boggles.

I think it makes sense, really. Stevie herself knows she is no longer a huge draw so these small shows will bring in her faithful fans who are still out there & it's a win win situation. She draws a full house, gets the adoration of the people who get & appreciate her music-old and new, and she can feed off the energy.
I love that she is doing this. These are the kind of venues she should be playing now.

I'm PRAYING to the Stevie gods that she keeps this ball rolling and goes to Portland or somewhere driveable. Completly at odds with what to do. Ack! Is the Grove an ampitheatre?

:nod: Agreed 1000%. I've been saying for a while her welcome-to-my-living-room-have-a-seat vibe is perfect for these venues.

She is obviously still a shed/arena draw, albeit on the 4,000 - 7,000-seat scale. And if her ticket prices were lower, she could probably sell out more places. I get that it must be more fun playing these small places, but the fact remains that she is not making her usual payday. The Fillmore is about half the size of the Wiltern! But then again, this is not the first time she's done this sort of thing before- she has played the House of Blues and the Whiskey-a-Go-Go (which were both radio broadcasts). But I'm shocked that she is doing so many of these small shows. Again, I love the fact that she is doing these shows. But it's obvious that she doesn't need to. This is why I suspect there are some tricks up her gossamer wizard sleeves.

[HejiraNYC]

But isn't the GA thing a non-starter with Tod? :shrug:

The Grove is an indoor place that can be configured for both GA and seated shows. I suspect she is doing the GA thing since the Wiltern was mostly GA.

Hope you guys can come down for some or all of these shows! I have this strange feeling that these will be special.

[LilyRose]

To go to both Fillmore shows or not to go to both Fillmore shows? That is question.

Hell, you only live once, right?

[AliceLover]

^I think she is going to film her show before going tonAussie. Prediction!

[BombaySapphire3]

If she is going to film I'll bet she does it at the Fillmore...this venue has much more nostalgic value and gravitas to her then say the Wiltern I'm sure.

[jkmaletic]

I am BEYOND happy that she is doing the Grove in Anaheim!! I've never been there but i guess it's a small venue? It's 1 1/2 hrs from where i live in San Diego -totally do-able!

I'm in Anaheim right now, actually. Went to Disneyland (the SECOND -most happiest place in the world, the FIRST being a Stevie show of course.)

:blob2:

[DavidMn]

To go to both Fillmore shows or not to go to both Fillmore shows? That is question.

Hell, you only live once, right?I checked airfare on 3 different airlines, plus 3 different airports on Southwest. None are under $400 RT. This is something I would REALLY love to do, however I dont think I'll be able to make it. I'm going to Lindsey's birthday show in Jacksonville plus all the shows from Phoenix-San Francisco and it's jut not possible. Oh well. I'll enjoy watching the video's people will post.:)

[STEVEHEDRICK]

I think tickets are going to be hard to get for this?

[DavidMn]

I think tickets are going to be hard to get for this?I would assume so. Didn't Webster hall sell out almost immideately?

[pattyfan]

Just an FYI...

I got on line at 12:30, more than two hours after the presale started (you had to have a password, but all you had to do to get the password was to be on Stevie's FB page, or know someone who is) and I got 1 ticket for row 5, section 1, which is smack dab in the center in the 5th row. I think because the ticket prices were sooooo steep, the demand wasn't so great. I"m not sure if I'll go or not, but I'm sure that I"ll be able to find a buyer if I need to, so at least this way I have the option. Anyone else going??? :) Should we do a Stevie pre-show meet up? I know a great South Indian restaurant about 25 minutes from the venue where it would be easy to get a table and the food is super yummy and super cheap. The restaurants that I've tried in downtown Saratoga (it's a little town with a very small downtown) are not so great and very overpriced.

Kevin

[Dodfather]

I'll be in Texas from the 9th-21st October. I'm hoping that a date there may be included in these new October dates. That will be the only chance I'd get to see the In Your Dreams tour since the promised European/UK dates didn't happen. Fingers (doubtfully) crossed!

[Eugene]

I think tickets are going to be hard to get for this?

Saturday will most likely sell out faster than Sunday; you just need to keep refreshing the page every few seconds before the tickets go on sale. I know this isn't anything new to most people here.

I would assume so. Didn't Webster hall sell out almost immideately?

Yes, that was somewhere between 3 & 10 minutes.

I love that she is doing this. These are the kind of venues she should be playing now.

These are the exact reasons she could have done UK/European dates at places like the Carling Academy, Shepherds Bush Empire, The Lowry, Usher Hall.. like Lindsey is doing. Smaller venues - somewhere where she has a small (but not as small as she seems to think) yet devoted fanbase who are desperate for shows and would sell out every one... I had thought that she just didn't want to play smaller venues and so that's why she only ever played US and Australasia but this shows that that isn't the reason. Oh well...

Dave's influence? :shrug: First he makes her sit in the same room as him to write a song together, THEN he records her during the making of the album with a home video camera, THEN he gets her to ride a tour bus again. Next thing you know, she'll be waitressing part time again. ;)

These shows sound cool. Hope you all have a blast!

Do we need a password for the tickets at the Fillmore this Friday? Its not a pre-sale is it?

[PastelGravel]

I don't think we'll make it to these :( I have a work thing that will be coming up right around then that I can't miss. Sucks so bad. I have to just be happy I got to see her 4 times this year. I wanted to see all my Ledgie buddies again so soon. :xoxo:

[StandbackStevie]

I am going to think that she will have dave stewart at the filmore shows would be cool if she does and has it filmed.

[pattyfan]

Do we need a password for the tickets at the Fillmore this Friday? Its not a pre-sale is it?

No, you won't need a password for the tickets that go on sale Friday. You only need a password for the Mountain Winery pre-sale, which I believe ends Thursday, Sept 8 at 9 PM. PST. Good luck :)

Capacity listed at 1200.

[ontheEdgeof17]

How are you guys getting tickets, if you are going both days? Are you trying for Saturday first, then Sunday? Do you have a buying partner?

[RockAlot]

I am def. trying for the Sat. tickets.....but if I cant get Sat. I will surely try for Sunday!!

If this venue has the capacity of 1200 this might very well sell out fast!! But I'm on it right at 10 tomorrow~!

[LilyRose]

People! You're freaking me out! :lol:

I'm at the ready at 10 a.m.

[BombaySapphire3]

Anyone think we might have a better chance by lining up at the Fillmore for tickets tomorrow morning:shrug:If they sell out I'll be paying a broker ..I can't miss this.

[STEVEHEDRICK]

I think alot of people will be dissappointed this will go so fast!

[LilyRose]

Honestly though...

[RockAlot]

People! You're freaking me out! :lol:

I'm at the ready at 10 a.m.

I know huh :shocked: I'm not taking any chances, I will be on it at 10am!!! :thumbsup:

[Neal]

I plan on being right in front of my computer tomorrow morning, but if for some reason these shows sell out in a matter of mins and Ticketbastards site screws me over, I'll die (not literally, but you know what I mean;) ).

The ****ty thing about these things is that so many tickets go to brokers right off the bat, and are never even made available to real fans at reasonable prices... :distress:

It is s***ty but I am a real fan and have been since the 1970s and If I can't get the ticket on my own I will pay the sleazy broker.

The Fillmore boxoffice is ONLY open on Sunday mornings, so the only way to get tickets today is on line. I"m not sure if they keep tickets to sell in person or not. I don't think that they do. Buying from the box office is a nice option because you don't have to pay service charges, but with something like this, I don't think it will work. I guess if you try to get tickets today but can't, you can try going Sunday morning. It opens at 10 am, so I'd get there around 8 am to wait in line. Good luck everyone. :)

Got 2 tickets for Sunday! Flying back from a planned trip to Seattle to make the show.

[STEVEHEDRICK]

can someone local tell me the easiest way to get from the airport to the venue? and hotels that are close that aren't an arm and a leg!

[ontheEdgeof17]

Grace and I are set for both nights. :D

[WelshWitchPMD]

Got a ticket for Sunday. Not 100% sure if I will end up going, however.

I'm guessing the airport, which isn't in SF proper, is about 20 miles south of the venue. Renting a car may be the only option...I don't remember if there's a BART station at the airport.

As for a hotel...I don't believe inexpensive and San Francisco go together.

There is a BART station at SFO. Oakland Airport is actually closer and is also accessible via BART.

[Amlyn]

Looks like i may have 2 extra for Sat night now. I just checked my email and my Sat night request crapped out at first so I did it again. But now it looks like I ended up with a double order.

I'm sure I can unload them. But if anyone might be interested, let me know.

[tothegypsy]

If another fan doesn't end up wanting them, I believe Live Nation has as 72 hour return policy for this show.

[Amlyn]

Yeah, I did that once. So i'll keep that in mind. I'll see how it plays out. There's always stubhub too.

Well, that's assuming it sells out. Keep in mind that even the Wiltern show did not sell out; tickets were available the day before the show.

True, true. I will make a call about it on Sunday. If i can get the return without a hassle, then that may be the way to go.

[Neal]

I get to see you again! :wavey:

Wow what's it been, 5 yrs...? :D

So excited! I haven't been to a solo show since Crystal Visions!

[Macfanforever]

Good luck guys getting tickets.Probably Stubhub will have more.

[GarboSpeaks!]

Thanks to my friend I will get to see Sunday nights show. Had really hoped to see Saturday as well, but the drive is so long, there Sunday back on Monday. Ugh, the lack of sleep I get from Stevie. lol. I'l sleep when I'm dead...surely still dreaming of live shows. :angel:

[1sttimelongtime]

I got my tickets for both nights! I dont think I've ever been so excited about a show, even the Wiltern! I think it helps that I've finally overcome my fear of flying. Now I can sit back and enjoy, instead of being consumed by thoughts of going down in a fiery inferno.

[Christopher]

Congrats on everyone getting tickets!! I'll be there with my partner for the Saturday show and possibly on the 9th. SO Excited!! Going back to Cali:woohoo:

I got tickets for the fillmore and wondered what airport is closest? and hotels that are safe that wont kill me! any help and getting to the venue from the airport and such! thanks!

I am not sure why you are so fixated on the proximity of airports to the Fillmore. You're not going to walk to the Fillmore from the terminal. Both SFO and OAK are well connected to the city via different modes of public and private transportation. At the end of the day, it's six or one half dozen. Regardless of where you fly in, you will be between 30 minutes and an hour away from downtown San Francisco depending on the mode of transportation employed. If you are expecting to catch a flight after the show, by all means go for it, but you will need to hurry no matter what.

All hotels are safe and none will kill you. The only difference really is in the views, decor and amenities. You will find bed bugs in budget motels as well as the Four Seasons. San Francisco is relatively safe for a large city; however, it is probably a good idea to stay out of the Tenderloin/Civic Center area at night if you are really skittish. Market Street is safe but noisy and congested. South of Market (SoMa) is "up and coming." The vast majority of hotels appear to be concentrated around the Union Square/Nob Hill area, which is a bit of a jog to the Fillmore. The closest hotels to the Fillmore appear to be in Japantown, particularly the Nikko, the Kabuki and the Best Western Tomo, none of which are exactly cheap. Sites like bookit.com may provide some savings on flight/hotel packages. Also keep in mind that October is the warmest month of the year in SF, and is also primetime for tourism in SF.

[BombaySapphire3]

Well, that's assuming it sells out. Keep in mind that even the Wiltern show did not sell out; tickets were available the day before the show.

I'm kind of shocked that neither show has sold out yet:shrug:In a region teeming with gay folks and aging hippies.

[RockAlot]

Did anyone else get a pop-up msg. after buying tic. at Live Nation for a $20.00 "rebate" by calling a ph.#? I wrote the # down and lost it...could of been a scam anyway :shrug:

Also thougt I already posted this but don't see it Hmmmm. I'm losing it :shocked:

Both airports (SFO and Oakland) are about the same distance from the Fillmore and you can take BART from both to the Civic Center BART station. I guess you'll be going to a hotel first. If you stay in a hotel somewhere downtown, it will be easy to get on BART. From there you can take a bus or even walk to the Fillmore (it would probably be about a 30 minute walk). If you are going to rent a car, definitely fly into SFO just because you won't have to cross a bridge. Traffic on the Bay Bridge can be really heavy at times. San Jose airport, which is sometimes also listed with other Bay Area airports, is much farther away. Also, if you fly into SFO, you can take Super Shuttle directly to your hotel for I think 20 bucks. BART to the city will be around 8 bucks.

I don't know much about hotels. Like the other person said, I'd stay out of the Tenderloin. If you want, if you use Expedia or something and want to send me 2 or 3 choices, I can check them out for you and tell you what I think. If you want to talk, let me know and I"ll send you my cell number. :)

When was the last time Stevie played the Fillmore? (Or has she ever played the Fillmore?)

[eric51078]

If only I could get a cheaper flight!!!!!!!!

[DavidMn]

If only I could get a cheaper flight!!!!!!!!are u checking both Oakland and SFO?

[eric51078]

are u checking both Oakland and SFO?

Hey David! How are you? I am trying both...it was cheaper on Wed when the show was announced.

[DavidMn]

Hey David! How are you? I am trying both...it was cheaper on Wed when the show was announced.I'm good. I'm trying to make this work. right now I can get a RT to Oakland for about 300 with taxes. I would stay right by the airport in Oakland and take the BART from the Oakland Colesium stop. Not sure if it's goig to work though. what prices are u encountering so far?

[sywlindseyfan]

Hey everybody, I got my ticket this morning in Rhetoric class lol. I am ready to see Stevie up close. Lets start planning on how the camping out will go. I'm excited to meet ya guys.

I hate when work gets in the way! I have the same issue right now. I have that 3 day weekend off but I need at least the Friday or Tuesday off too. My problem is that I have 2 jobs to worry about scheduling. I can get out of one on the Friday but not the other one Tuesday I have the same issue with opposite jobs. Both jobs are with the same company so I can't just ditch one. Good luck!
I think we all need to come down with " Ledgie Flu" that weekend. :;):

If all goes as planned, I'll be flying from Philly for these shows. If anyone has any tips on which hostels are nice and which hostels are sketchy, let me know. I'm 28 and gay and have never been to San Francisco before, so this trip feels like a rite of passage ;)

[PastelGravel]

Just to torture myself yesterday I got on TM and looked up tickets for Mountain Winery. Of course I pulled up 3rd row center on my first try :( Had to leave my office for an hour and take a walk after that. Why wasn't this planned earlier?????? So sad.

[kitten]

i can't resist 2 nights of Stevie at the legendary Fillmore :] i haven't been to the city in 10 years.. and since i am coming all the way from virginia, it seems like the sensible thing to do in my stevie frenzied mind is to bookend those shows and come early for the winery and stay late for anaheim. i am attempting this trip alone... i'm kind of nervous but i am focusing on Stevie at the other end... would love to hook up with any other solo or group travelers or locals looking to share expenses, rides and dedicated line time for any of the cali shows :cool:

After seeing Stevie at Caesar's Palace in her over (self ) hyped 05' extravaganza show :rolleyes: and again this last May. I told myself I am never traveling to Vegas to see Stevie again!! Not to bash Vegas, but to bash Vegas:p It's just not my cup of tea! Everything is wayyyyyy overpriced for what you receive, It's always a total clusterf**k on the strip, and more & more its becoming The Hangover meets Rocky Horror Picture Show, vapid, drunk, campy and plastic. And while I'm at it, Caesar's Colosseum is way overrated as a venue imo. Thank Gawd she is playing Hard Rock this time, at least it will probably feel more like a rock concert! But I still detest everything Vegas. Now, in another life if I'ma professional successful poker player, I may be persuaded to enjoy myself a wee bit more. just sayin'.

Which is exactly why I'd go. I don't want to take any more time off work and I could swing this October 15th show w/out taking time off. WOuld be awesome! I guess we'll see.

Tonight I was thinking about these upcoming small venue shows and had a thought. I think there's a good chance Stevie will add back, or even add different new songs for these new shows. I base that on the experience and feedback she got from performing 8 of them at The Wiltern, and it too being a small venue. I'm thinking they might be thinking that since these are small venues, there will likely be more die-hard fans there, making it more comfortable to do more of her her NEW stuff.

I hope I'm right! :blob2:

If she does I am so happy for everyone that's going. You seriously should try to sneak in some video footage because I'm sure this is gonna be a memorable event! I'm really hoping that she is able to do some more of her new songs live because there are so many that she could do with her voice and everything. I honestly think she should just do a smaller venues tour across the country and do more of her new songs. It would be such a good way for her to get ALL of the new songs out there.

If she does this, I will start a Stevie Nicks account! I will need to see her more than 3 times! And if she's chatty then that's heaven!!

Oh I agree. I totally think she should...you KNOW she wants to. She's so damn happy performing her new songs on stage! And if she does this I'm totally just become a groupie and follow her around...haha

I think this seems like the best idea. Let's all quit school/jobs and buy a van/bus to cart us to various Stevie gigs all over. :nod:

[Macfanforever]

[sywlindseyfan]

Yes perhaps, dinner sounds good....or just hanging out all day in the front of the line, haha. I'll bring snacks.

[fumidesigns]

Who will be around Friday around 1am?! Lmao! I'm tryna hit a bar or something! What time does SF shut down! Are there 24hr diners!? Help!

[LilyRose]

I'll be around 1 a.m. Saturday. Bars close at 2 a.m. I think Mel's Diner is open 24 hrs, not certain though.

[fumidesigns]

Oooookay so I guess I'll be in friday morning alone........ *deep sigh*.....guess I'll get some pancakes!

Wait what is SF known for when it comes to food!?

[HejiraNYC]

Wait what is SF known for when it comes to food!?

Rice-a-roni! Duh. :lol:

Seriously all I can think of is Ghiradelli chocolate and sourdough bread (which I must admit is pretty dang good). Is there a such thing as California cuisine anymore? I thought that was a very 1990s phenomenon. To me it seemed basically like Italian food without the red sauce. :shrug:

I don't want no dayum rice maaaaaan! Lol! Soooooooooo what am I gonna do!? Urgh!

[LilyRose]

I'm taking Friday off work, getting my hair done at 10 a.m., then I'm probably sleeping the rest of the day since I more than likely won't be sleeping all day Saturday & Sunday. :lol:

are any of you going to the anaheim show? i'm trying to save my hard earned ducats to get a decent ticket, somewhere not in the back, and i'm gonna be driving down from LA. i'm so glad she decided to do a show in so.cal. i know that she did a show at the Wiltern, but i didn't know about her and fleetwood mac until july :eek:
anyhow, i'll probably be going down by myself, but i dunno... i thought maybe i could make friends? (please don't respond to this if you are a serial killer or rapist....)

Hi! Yes there are several of us going to the Anaheim show and there is a actually a thread about it if you look through. I'm also driving down from LA for the show and can't wait.

[jkmaletic]

The Anaheim thread is on page 2. Sorry, but i cant paste a link right now.

OMG, seriously?? SF has some of the best food in the country! SF is known for the many wonderful neighborhood places that serve some of the most amazing food anywhere-some which is sourced locally.
Frances, L'Ardoise, NOPA, Commonwealth, Range, Bar Agricole, Delfina, A16, Cotogna, and those are just the ones off the top of my head.
And I am not even talking about the cocktail culture and wine here.
For all you wonderful people coming to the shows at the Fillmore, make sure you eat at some of the wonderful places SF has to offer!

Dude, calm down. The question was what SF was known for. That's not to say that SF doesn't have good eateries; EVERY city has good restaurants! Rather, it's about what is unique about this particular city, e.g., cheesesteaks in Philadelphia, bagels in NYC, Legal Seafood in Boston, etc. And how could anyone who grew up in the 1970s not remember those ubiquitous Rice-a-roni commercials? Tongue firmly planted in cheek, dude. :cool:
