OK, meeting stevie... now met with PICS
 

8/11: PICS ARE ON THIS MY FIRST POST, I HAVE MET HER NOW, just decided to put pics on first page so you dont have to sort through 9 pages to find them...

UPDATED...ADDED ANOTHER PIC OF STEVIE AND I, (the only other one and as you can see i was talking)




ORIGINAL POST:
Ok, my fingers are crossed that indeed i shall be meeting stevie nicks tomorrow for the very first time. I hope to be given the opportunity to ask her a few questions, and not freeze up entirely!! Im really unsure how to approach her too.... what do i say, what does she react well to?? Has anyone met her who can enlighten me a little??

ANYWHO:

QUESTIONS: what is the question you would like an answer to?? i'll try and ask as many as i can...

1 SLEEP TO GO!!!!!

AWFUL PIC OF ME I KNOW!

Well, you probably already thought of this one, but:

When can we expect a NEW CD (with NEW material) either solo or FM?

"So, no, seriously... ever gonna record new material again anytime soon?"

Deep breaths! She's just a regular ol' nice lady!

Oh yeah - and about meeting her...

I was SO close to meeting her this last tour. I had the pass and everything, but for reasons I don't need to get into, it didn't work out. Anyway, during the show I was getting really worked up thinking (at the time) that I was going to meet her afterwards. It was then I "checked myself" and didn't let myself think about it and then I was ok (besides the horrendous stomach ache I was having :rolleyes: ) So my advice: don't think about it until it happens and try to remain calm. :nod:
Have FUN!!!

~jamie

Im so sorry to hear that Jamie! Im really nervous and a little worried that i wont meet her... That i'll only catch a glimpse... and a VERY expensive glimpse... Cant help that feeling coz there has been a build up and a lot has gone into getting me in... Just dont want a let down....

I know i should expect it, just dont want to! :laugh:

OOOO can u get me an autographed pic??????

To: Caitlin
Love Always: Stevie Nicks xxoo and her cute heart?????

Ask her what she whispers after the chorus in "7 wonders".... sara? tara? pharoah?:wavey:

hellooooo!!! you have one!

"7 Wonders"??

I thought it was "Seven Wonders" :p


oh.. and while you're at it, ask her where "Emmiline" is..

I want another one...lol U can;t have enough autographes!

Honest opinions -

Stevie reacts well to sincerity, and disrespects insincerity.
It's really that simple.
I would suggest not asking about the new cd,
it's still up in the air and a trouble area and something she
won't talk about while it's still in negotiations.
And don't gush, she's heard it ALL a million times before.
Sincere, well-thought out complements about what you think
of her and her music, and why. Maybe she's read some good
BOOKS lately or seen a good MOVIE that you have also.
The horse races themselves are an obvious thing to talk about
and the nice weather in Australia is an obvious fallback - nice
weather is a great time to go shopping, which is something that
Stevie loves to do - but has she been able to do any with her
busy schedule this week? (etc. - "OH what STORES? OH what's
it LIKE there did you LIKE it? - - - I personally like (store X)
have you ever seen their (etc.) How's the FOOD? Does she know
how they make (so-and-so). HEY how is Vanessa CARLTON'S
album coming along? How about that singer who opened at the
beginning of the TOUR this summer WHAT was her name again???
She seemed very NICE (etc.).
Remember that she's just as human as you are and is secretly
wondering what you think of her and if this new fancy dress thing
looks nice or funny (psst - look at the look on her face in some of
the pictures - she's worried these fancy people are all LAUGHING AT
her!. . . .) and worried she has spinich or something stuck in her teeth.
Remember that she's very intelligent, but, God bless her heart, she's
not very "sophisticated," or at least does not view herself in that way -
so don't let the "rich" environment and fancy clothes freak you out -
she'd rather be wearing jeans or sweats or something -
but she's having so much fun "playing dress-up" - another easy, light, fun
conversation topic. (Who did her HAIR??? Where did you get that DRESS it's
LOVELY!)
Honest, sincere, polite. Simple as that.
Anyway I hope somehow that helps.
OH and my question for her would be,
"OMG OMG OMG It's Stevie Freaking NICKS OMG you're so WONDERFUL
OMG will you SING this Oh MY GOD who is Beautiful Child
about and oh WOW will you sing RHIANNON and i just LOVE The Dance
and om G will you MARRY me!? and - oh - oh wow did i just SAY that I
oh wow I'm sorry I'm just so excited to BEMEETINGSTEVIEFREAKING
NICKS!!!!!" :shrug: ;) :lol:

Good luck Janis!

Tracker...how do you know she is in negotiations for a new album? She clearly has addressed that issue in several interviews and is putting out a
GH/retrospective. She says she has not written a song in 18 months?:shrug: Lori Nicks said in her Q and A'..."at this time there are no plans for a solo album". Do you know something more than Lori and Stevie?:shrug:

Just relax (as much as humanly possible) and enjoy the moment. Stevie will know you're nervous, so don't feel stupid. I hope with all my heart you get to meet her. :nod:

HAHA if I was meeting Stevie I would be in SOOOOOOOOOOOO much shock...I would like stare at her w/ my mouth wide open, crying, and I would like poke her and ask "are u REALLY Stevie Nicks?"

:laugh: Absolutely hilarious!~!~~~

Brilliant! Thiank you so very much for all the advice, thats what i needed! I wonder though if i try to think of her as not "STEVIE" nicks and just a person, if i can then get an autograph?? How do you ask her that?

Thank you so much for your help!!
IN 25 hours i will be in the tent... and hopefully stevie will get there BEFORE she shoots off to present the race! And she wont be hanging around for the race coz she cant see it!

Well, you know I would be the same way, I was just trying to be helpful here~! :]

"laugh" yeah me too... though i hadn't thought of the poking! LOL. There will be no sleeping tonight!! Every night has been busy, tanning, shopping etc. Last night i got my head piece and earings and bracelet... night before picked up my hand made shawl! Well it was supposed to be a SHAWL but it turned out that she thought i said scarf! I could of necked her :eek: Tonight i have my hair, tomorrow morning make up, then off we go!

I've said all along since i found out last friday that i think i will walk in the tent... see her across the way,,, freeze... pale,,, mouth will drop... she'll scan across the room and when her eye passes me... i shall then casually pass out! lol. Wake up in the hospital with a mild concussion at 9pm that night! Of course Stevie will come over and talk with my partner as im passed out while they await for an ambulance.... Now of course Stevie wanted to come visit me in the hospital but her plane departed that evening... :laugh:

Well, "negotiations" may have been the wrong word - there's an article
either on here or That OTHER Board which was very recently posted
in which she talks about a possible greatest hits, or "retrospective,"
cd, for release next year. That's all I meant. :shrug:
By "new album" I meant GH/retrospective cd.

ooh! if you can could you please just ask maybe one little question for the christine people?? like how close are you & christine, do you miss her, what does she mean to you, whatever you want but it would be greatly appreciated!!! thankyou!!!!!:xoxo: :xoxo: :xoxo:

Will we hear sara again? please ask janis...i beg you!:(

Janis, I so hope this works out for you. Me? I'd be shaking like a leaf. I've met many famous people in my life, but Stevie is probably the only one who'd get me tongue-tied and shakey (okay, Madonna might, too, but only because she's a little terrifying, too!).

Anyway, I've always thought about what would I ever ask Stevie... keep in mind, you may have time for ONE question. Make it count! :) Follow your heart.



And then run your a$$ back here and spill every last detail!!!


Have an amazing time!!

every time i've interacted with a person of 'celebrity' status, it goes well if i'm not a huge fan. like there's someone i won't name who broke into tears as she passed her celeb crush on the street. not normal. i ran into -someone- at a fabric store and ended up chatting about upholstery for her couch. i am in love with that woman. but i don't think that came across. it also helped that she approached me and i didn't go right up to her and invade her space. that's big.

Hi Janis, I want to wish you good luck tommorow. When I met Stevie I was a nervous wreck. She came over to me, took both my hands in hers and looked right into my eyes with such a warmth that I began to feel a little less nervous. I only managed to tell her she was incredible! I can still hear her tell me thank you,feel our hug and the kiss :xoxo: we gave each other on the cheek, god I even can still remember how she smelled-lol! This was after I got to ask her question during the Storytellers taping, thats another story ;) -lol.Bottom line, just enjoy the moment. Trust me, its one that you will never ever forget. Stevie picks up on the good vibes from her fans and judging by your posts, she will pick up on yours! Best of luck, hon - I really want this to happen for you!!!!! :wavey:

Ask her whether she does yoga or tai-chi, & if so, what type

Janis, wishing you the best of luck meeting Stevie and getting a chance to talk with her. Maybe you could work her ring into the conversation or ask about Jessie.

I would not ask her about the ring. She probably would not give an honest answer anyway. She is obviously proud of it though, the way she has her hand up on her shoulder in so many photographs. (I really like it because it is two pieces..a ring and a really extravagent ring guard) I like almost all her jewelry though.

You could tell her how wonderful it was of her to pass out the ipods to the injured soldiers. That might get a conversation going because it is something she is very passionate about. Her Dad might be too sad of a subject. I might go with the ipod thing if you want to engage her in conversation. If you want to ask questions about future albums, tours etc, go for it but I am not sure how forthcoming she will be.

DEFINITELY don't bring up her Dad at ALL, unless you want to REALLY
kill the moment. . . . i.m.o. it's WAY too personal and still way too sad
for her. She's there in Australia trying to take a break from the grief
and all of it - definitely doesn't need to be reminded.
I'd suggest something non-work related - after all, yeah she's having fun
but this is work for her, too - she probably will "close up" if you ask her
about upcoming albums, etc. Instantly her guard will go up - how does
she know that you're not really a reporter? Or that one isn't listening?
Also, it's hard to explain exactly what I mean here but -
TRUST her.
If you do,
she'll trust you.

And here I thought she was in Australia to promote her tour and go to this race thing...

Hmmmmm

Would you please finally perform Long Way Too Go on the next tour?

We will ever hear Angel live again? I already asked her about Sisters Of The Moon in 01. Her response was "I dont know maybe"

:)

Or how about who was better in bed Lindsey or Mick, or what about Don :laugh: ?

:laugh: yes that one will be good!

Its 8am now, got my hair in rollers from the haridressers last night and i haven't slept hardly.., not our of exitement just because its hard to sleep with hard things and pins all over your head... Feeling a little sick from lack of sleep.

The day is here.... I shall let you all know how it goes tonight!! Keep the candles burning for me guys.. for two reasons,
1 - that i actually get the spend a minute with her... just one in my lifetime.
2 - That i dont pas out before that minute!

Good luck and like I said, try to not think about it too much beforehand. Have fun! :thumbsup:
PLEASE post as soon as you can afterward!

I would just say Keep being true to who you are. That's the best compliment I could give her.:)

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[IN 25 hours i will be in the tent... and hopefully stevie will get there BEFORE she shoots off to present the race! And she wont be hanging around for the race coz she cant see it![/QUOTE]

I would give my anything to be in your shoes!! Be cool. Savor the moment!!!

Uhhmmm - and? So??? :wavey: :shrug:

( What can I say, I have no patience! :p )

Ok I cannot take this nail biting Janis- Did you meet her,talk to her, or at least see her, not this last bit counts,but after all the money you spent-LOL :laugh:Seriously- how did it turn out- my Wild Heart is waiting to here! :]

Hmmm well i feel a bit weird and im not really present at the moment so im gong to post tomorrow :sorry: . Not feeling very good at the moment either because andrew mcmanussort of snapped at me and though i was with radio so wasn't allowing me much. I will say that se was around 1.5metres away from me for ages, i spoke with her assistant karen for a while though she didn't want to input in the conversation. Umm i did speak with Stevie i know that. And i told her i was nervous. Um did get 2 pics, one didn't really turn out. Andrew said i was strictly only aloud one and got angry when i asked dale to take two. That upset me. Got nothing signed, knew not to ask. She was in the same room as me for 30mins...

Im really upset at the moment because i didn't get to tell her anything, i didn't get to obtain a signature, didn't get to ask her any of your or my questions... And i spent a lot of energy on today.

:(

Your post sounded like you were willied out or something. GAWD. You were in the same room with her for 30 min.!!! I've never been that close. I wouldn't know what to say to her anyway. It wasn't what you wanted but there's always next time and this time was a warmup. Congrats anyway!

aw Jayne that sucks ass :xoxo:
glad i didn't venture over there :eek:

i think after I go to the shows im going to
i will email McAnus and tell him what a ****er he is :nod:
just know that HE is the asshole and it is by no means a reflection of Stevie

I will share this story with you
In 2003 me and like 20 of my net friends flew over to Melb for the logies. We were specifically there to meet Georgie (Parker) coz most of us had written to her and she knew our group would be there that night. I spent the day with 2 other girls making posters and sticking up flyers all over the city lol while we waited for an appropriate time to start hanging around on the carpet. We got there pretty earlier and ended upstairs of the Crown at the top of the stairs outside the ballroom. Literally the best possible place to be. We were there and in the restaurant for about 2 hours before the RUDDEST security man in the world made us leave even though we had told him who we were waiting for, he said that Georgie wouldn't have time to meet with us so we shouldn't waste our time. So it was about 10 minutes before the arrivals started and there was No Way we would get a decent spot on the red carpet. We were PISSED. But long story short, we ended up in the front row at the end of the carpet before the stairs, got hugs, kisses and photos with Georgie and got invited to hang around after the show to talk with her and have photos etc.

Me and my 2 friends also got invited into the after party by a cast member who shall remain nameless but we didn't think he was serious and passed on that :rolleyes:


I'm not a confronting person nor do i ever get lucky meeting anybody I want and this asshole security man made me want to fly home right then and there it was so bad.

i'm sorry u had such a sucky day. but know that it wasn't you and there are too many assholes in this world who exist just to make ordinary people's lives crap :nod: :xoxo:
