Ledgie Contest
 

CURRENT ROUND: ROUND 2
http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showpo...&postcount=105

Well, sadly I can't change a thread title and I would like as many as are interested to be aware of this, so I'm starting a new thread.

THE CONTEST:

First you should know what the prizes are (pics will be uploaded in the next couple days)
In order from least cool to coolest:

(2) Warner Brothers Promotional photos of The Dance Era. One is the picture we're all familiar with that was in the Rollingstone article. The other I haven't
seen too ften, but they're both common.

(4) Collectible Backstage Passes. Authentic backstage passes: two from the Wild Heart tour, one from the Rock A Little Tour, and one from the Mirage tour.

(1) Tusk sticker; A new york radiostation handed these out to promote the Fleetwood Mac Concert at Madison Square Garden on November 15, 16 1979.

(1) Stevie Nicks HBO promo poster. I ended up with three of these, sold one on Enchanted and have now decided to give the other away to a deserving Ledgie.

(1) Fleetwood Mac 1997 promo display - This is The Dance Pop-up that also functioned as the press kit. Complete with the band facts and dates card.

(1) a 6 page "BAM" reprint & a 4 page "Rolling Stone" reprint. These items are from the Bella Donna press kit. Literally you'd just be missing the pictures to have a complete Bella Donna Press Kit. Both articles contain photos and a really cool cover. The Bam article is Stevie Nicks: The Fleetwood Mac Siren Finds Solo Stardom by Blair Jackson. The Rolling Stone Article is Stevie Nicks' Magic Act by Timothy White. Both have cool tidbits in them and have the Modern Records logo on the back and bottom of each page (they did this for the press kit only)

and Lastly, my favorite: (1) 1979 Peter Beard Tusk Lithograph. To find out more, see EnchantedSLN post on this page http://burnish.net/fleetwoodmac/inde...opic=100&st=15. The images are from the Tusk picture sleeves (albeit with a few extras thrown in) and the bottom of the lithograph has some lyrics from Tusk (all the songs are represented at least once) strewn about on tiny slips of paper. Again I've had three of these in my day so I'm sure the Burnish page is inaccurate about value and how many were made, but it's still a cool collectible and can be hung pretty much anywhere since it isn't overtly Fleetwood Mac (in case you have roommates that would complain about such a thing :( )

Ideally I would give the prize pack to someone in Vegas, but seeing as how a bunch of ledgies can't go, I will also be willing to mail stuff. I have three ideas as to what the contest should be dependent on how many folks would be interested in playing. If you think you have even a slight interest shoot me an e-mail ([email protected], please put "contest" in the subject line) or respond in this thread now that it is seperate from the seating chart and I'll decide how it's going to be played tomorrow night. The contest will likely be trivia or photo releated and is open to everyone, brand new ledgies and up.

Michael.

always up for some healthy competition... details please!

always up for some healthy competition... details please!


dee-toe... plus, I LUV memorabilia!!



Laura

Is it open to people overseas?

Pip

fun stuff
 

I am so game. I will probably lose to all the ledgies who stay on the Ledge all the time, Amber, but I am up for the challenge. I guess if you do trivia, you will have a time you are posting the question?
Crap Christine lyrics will KILL me.

Hey all!

I'm thinking about the overseas question. I've never mailed something overseas so if you shoot me a PM about how that works I'll make a decision. I'm open to it, but I don't want to have to go pay a fortune on customs stuff.

I'm leaning towards running all three contests as individual rounds with one round elimination. For the trivia round, a set of questions will be posted. All who decide to participate would have five days to find the answers and e-mail them (NOT POST) to me. This should allow everyone time to respond and get them right (sort of how the old Mac jeapardy used to run). The second round would then be posted along with the folks that survived elimination. This method would seem to make it a level playing field for those always on the ledge, those will dialup, those who are away, etc.

I'm up for a challenge. Let's play. :thumbsup:

This game is mine for the takin'.


Call it. I already won. :D

Wow. I want this so much it hurts :(
What do we have to do?

Oh, hell no. I was excited, but now I'm not as much, cause I don't know half as much about Mac as most people here. :( That's what I get for not being obsessive enough....

Yeah, unless David decides to play.... :shocked: :)

I'm sure i'll get totally schooled but i'm gamed! :nod:

Well... With over 11,000 posts in under a year... I think you are well on your way... :laugh:

Yes, yes, more jokes about how much I've posted. I still don't know all about the Mac. I feel I can never really catch up with all the knowledge and material others have. The collect stuff people. which are most of the people here. Luckily, it doesn't bother me much. I would like a nice little piece of memorabilia, though, I don't have anything like that. :) Maybe I'll get one right before someone else.... :p

I know lots compared to my friends, but nothing compared to people here, but I shall play anyway :D

Count me in ;)

I'll play, just for the fun of it. :D

Definitely count me in! :thumbsup:

Okay, here’s round one: 10 questions, about (keyword about) 50 points possible.

THE RULES
There will be no elimination after any of the rounds, we’re going to do this based on points. Round two is NOT TRIVIA. Longterm fans and newbies alike will have a chance to score big in round 2. Round 2 will be announced in four days. Even if you only know one answer to these questions you still have a chance to win.

You have until Thursday at midnight (United States pacific standard time) to send your answers to me: [email protected]. Please note this is a different e-mail than the previously listed e-mail. As soon as I hear from Pip, I'll let you know about overseas, but for now let's assume ALL ARE WELCOME TO PLAY, even if you didn't e-mail or post that you were going to play. There will be a second prize.

Only one e-mail per round is allowed and you Must include your ledgie username in the e-mail.

I know some of these are tough, but I’ve checked and all of this information is available on the web (except for number 3). If you have a question about a question, post it here, but please do not post your answers here. The first person to e-mail answers will get a bonus 10 points, the second person 9 points, the third person 8 points, etc. This is just so you don’t all wait until the last minute.

ROUND ONE
1. While doing press for Bella Donna, Stevie was consistently asked about a new Fleetwood Mac record. In the fourth quarter of 1981 Stevie told reporters she had recorded three songs for a new Mac record. Which three songs did she say she had recorded for the album? (1pt for each correct answer, make sure to get the titles as Stevie lists them and only 1981 sources).

2. In 1979 Stevie “donated” a song to UNICEF (sort of). What song was it?

3. How many times has the word angel appeared in Stevie lyrics (demos do not count, only officially released songs, both FM and solo, not backing vocals, and only count the times the word appears in the song, note the Nicksfix is actually off on this one) (1pt for each correct answer).

4. What position did Stevie have in the VH1 100 greatest women of rock? What position was Fleetwood Mac in the VH1 100 Greatest rock bands of all time? (1pt for each correct answer)

5. Which non-fleetwood mac, non-stevie solo videos has Stevie appeared in? (refers to music videos only, not concerts or storyteller specials).

6. Name two songs that Stevie turned down that became top 10 hits. (1pt. for each)

The Easy section:
7. What officially released Songs has Stevie recorded with Tom Petty? Name them. (1pt. for each)

8. What officially released songs has Stevie recorded with Don Henley? Name them (1pt. for each)

9. What songs were in Stevie’s set list the last time she played Vegas? (1pt. for each)

10. What name did Stevie use to check into Betty Ford in 1987?

This post will update with clarifications. If something is added here you may change your answer to that question and only that question.

Some clarifications already requested:
#3. Only Stevie-penned songs count and please list the instances. The word Angels DOES count.

#9 This references the last time Stevie played Las Vegas solo. yes, the set list must be in order

New Clarifications:
#3, yes those faint angels DO count.

#4 I meant the rock bands one they did, but people have answered assuming the 100 greatest artists of all-time, so I will count either.

#5 non-solo means songs which were not originally released by Stevie Nicks. SO for instance a video for Leather and Lace would not count, but a video for Whenever I call you Friend would count. (there is no video for Whenever I call You Friend for the record).

#7 and #8, the only response I feel comfortable giving here is that the word vocals (lead or otherwise) never appears in this question so I fail to see the misunderstanding or the need for clarification. It means what it says, What songs has Stevie recorded with...

I don't see any probs with sending stuff overseas. I send and receive stuff all the time. The cost is dependant on weight and if anyone were to get stung with customs futies it would be the person receiving it. I'm pretty sure you just mark it as a gift

Pip

Okie dokie. I just wasn't familiar. Overseas folk are welcome to participate. Thanks!

Yeah, I'm in Canada and have send to the UK or there abouts for quite awhile... No problems... Shipping is a couple bucks more, and I mark as a gift to avoid customs to.. and keep the value of the item (s) low on the little label you stick on it...

Whew, done it!
That angel one was the killer. And I've still probably got it wrong.
:D

It's on its way!

By "list the instances" do you just mean the number of times for each song? ie, "Angel - 1 million times" like that?

Yes, I mean how many time stevie sings the word angel. Plurals weren't going to count, but since many people counted them already, plurals DO count. Those that responded and didn't count plurals can resubmit that answer. I will give an example of what I mean with this question:

let's say stevie wrote a song called, "I Sing the Word Angel Many Many Times" and the lyrics were:

This is a song about drugged out Emerald Angel
She danced like a Blue Chimpanzee
So I approached
I asked her to write this for Me
My Sweet Angel, Angel, Angel.

The answer would be:
4- "emerald Angel" one time, "angel, angel, angel" one time

You can phrase the instances however you like (some have listed all the lyrics and underlined the word angel - (you are all very thorough). Some have just said: "angel of the morning"x4. Pretty much anyway is acceptable.

For the record: There are still a bunch of bonus points points to be had for answering early.

I should also add that no one has submitted a perfect response yet, but none of the submitted ballots are too far off. Additionally, I've said before but I want to emphasize, while it will help to do well in this round, you don't have to score perfectly or really even close to perfect to still have a chance to win this. Other rounds may be worth more points... So if you can't answer all of the questions, don't give up, just send the ones you do know and guess the rest (there's no penalty for wrong answers).

Oops! I get to redo that one.

I'm in - sent you my answers last night. I hope I did the Angel thing right. :shocked:

I spent all this time looking for answers, then finally started the Angel one. It was too daunting, I had to stop. Hopefully I'll finish tonight. But I don't think I got some others right, anyways...

yea..
 

I am not getting the bonus points for submitting early. I am still counting up the Angels..girlfriend uses that word quite often. :laugh:
This is soo fun.

Well, there are still three days until the deadline, so take your time. There's still even one point available for sending in early.

How many rounds will there be?

Three. Also, one of the rounds will not be quite as objective as this one, so look forward to some guest judges (hopefully).

It could have been worse - he could have asked us to count how many times she's said dream/dreams/dreamer. :laugh:

or how many times she uses the word "well" ;)

Hey all!

All the bonus points for getting in early have not been accounted for, so you can wait until the last minute if you'd like. There still hasn't been a perfect batch of answers, and no one's has been wildly wrong..

Seriously? I thought you'd say "most people did well except for that jackass Paula - it's like she wasn't even trying..." :o

I just sent over 30 cds to the UK and it cost me 11 dollars.
