THE JACKIE FACTORY is thrilled to announce that their 20th annual edition NOTS 20 will be held on May 14, 2010 at the HIGHLINE BALLROOM in NYC. This year's moonlit, milestone edition was inspired by one of Stevie's most enduring and iconic songs, SISTERS OF THE MOON. Though Stevie has not performed this song much of late, it has remained a showpiece and staple of some of NOTS most thrilling performers past and present.

Already confirmed to perform are many Legends of Stevie Realness and audience favorites from all eras of the show. They include BELLADONNA (CALIFORNIA), SHERRY VINE and EPIPHANY, JUSTIN BOND, THE HOHOS, GYPSY WILDE, JAZMEN FLOWERS (MISSISSIPI), ADAM DUGAS, AMBER MARTEN & MIA THEODORATUS, HEATHER LITTEER, DD SPARKS (IOWA), ST. EVE, BILLY O, CHARLENE CORAN (COLORADO), THE DIVINE GRACE, VELOCITY CHYALLD, JONNY TINGLE, BROOKE HALEY (FLORIDA), DARLINDA JUST DARLINDA, PAIGE STEVENSON, BELLA LUNA, AMBER RAY and the HOUSE OF DOMINATION. Our all-Stevie, all-Fleetwood DJs are the much-loved CRAIG SPENCER, SAMMY JO and POISON EVE. Booking of both returning and new performers is still very much in process. For the latest news on our NOTS 20 bill, please check back at our website and/or subscribe to our newsletter at stevielist @ jackiefactory.com.

The Producers have begun reviewing new performers for this edition's limited debut slots - please email [email protected] for instructions on how to apply - through March 1 only.

To the 1100 Enchanted and truly Timeless fans who turned out for our largest edition to date, NOTS 19: SONGS OF RHIANNON on May 1, 2009 - our deepest thanks. This 19th annual edition was even more spectacular than the previous years, and the audience not only bigger but by far the best costumed. We love the energy and care that you bring to "The Night" every year, and your interpretations of Stevie looks past, present and future. Visit the NOTS 19 FLICKR set, where the producers posted favorite show photos.

SHOW HISTORY

NIGHT OF A THOUSAND STEVIES is the biggest and best-loved STEVIE NICKS fan event in the world, one of those great New York City spectacles that sparks travel from all around the globe. Born in 1990 at the tiny performance venue MOTHER, "The Night" has run for nineteen years, even inspiring the 2001 film GYPSY 83. Neither a contest nor a karaoke show, NOTS is the Stevie celebration ne plus ultra - a riot of shawls, lace, baby's breath, twirling, tambourines and great performance. This much-loved annual has hosted Stevie fans and celebrated guests and performers including DEBBIE HARRY, BOY GEORGE, COURTNEY LOVE, CYNDI LAUPER and so many more.

...I totally wanna go.

Good luck at this year's show, Jazmen. What are you singing?

Me too! Wanna swing by NC and pick me up? :p

Sounds like a plan :) I think we should all have epic Ledgie bonding over that weekend.

This has been one of my lifetime goals. I have FAMILY in NY and I still haven't gone. Hell, I grew up in NY and never went. Basically, it would cost me airfare (or gas). I am going to speak with my best friend from HS and see if she is up for a road trip. I say this every year but I think I am going to do this.

Jason, am I too old? Am I too "straight"? Tell us more about the crowd.

thank you. I can't tell you what I'm performing. Chi Chi and I talked about a week ago and decided together on what I'd do. I can tell you that it is going to be an honor and a special performance. I'll give you a hint as the day draws near.

NO and NO. the crowd is so mixed it's silly. people from every segment of Stevie fandom are represented and there's no real majority. you will have no trouble "fitting in" and I know you will have an awesome time. I really hope you can come.

ditto on what jazzy said. you will have a great time.

I'd LOVE to go to this in 2010 but I'm not gonnabe able to. I totally plan pn going in 2011 for the 21st NOTS though. I actually starteda thread here a good while ago to see if anyone would be provisionally interested and we could have a big Ledgie get together! Dani's got the right idea, just would be next year for me!

Seriously. later this year I think we could start planning this. It would give everyone time to get cash together etc...

For those going this year - have a GREAT time!!

I am going to do my best to be there. 20th anniversary and rumoured to be the last one, I've heard. I need to be there. :thumbsup:

Oh, is it really? In that case, I've got to go. See you there :)

I really wanna go!!! I gotta see what my schedule is like around that time.

I will definitely be there. Hmmm... sisters of the moon is the theme. This year I swore not to try to dress theme-appropriate. But something tells me I'll have to think of something simple.

Last year's show was spectacular.

Hell yes. :angel:

NOOOOO!! Say it ain't so! I can't afford to go this year because I'm finishing my phD between now and June and so am not working full time at the moment. I had it all planned to work full time from June onwards and then go next year...

Rumoured to be, dude. Who the hell knows for sure.

This thing has always intrigued me, but I don't think I would fit in AT ALL since i am not much of a partier.

You would fit in Ethan. You don't have to be drunk or stoned to have fun, do ya?

Same here.

See you there. If anyone needs an airmattress to sleep on, let me know. :wavey:

Will you hang out with me? :o

Hey Marissa, want me to come visit you over that weekend?

Are you calling me a drunken slut?? :laugh: :xoxo:

I think I may make the trip as well!!!

****, I forgot you're living in NYC now! How far is the venue from your place? :D

Well, unless I get a good sum of cash between now and May I can't make it. Boo! This had been a real ambition of mine for the past few years as well, I just hope that this isn't the last one because I had 2011 all planned(ish)!

:) You're always welcome. It would be a really weird weekend for you-- I'm probably heading back to Pittsburgh that Sunday and I'm going to spend the non-NOTS time packing up-- but if you need a place to crash, it's here. We'll work out the details later.

not far at all. same side of the island. :woohoo:

Just how much floor space do you have? If this really is the last one... I might have to figure out a way to get up there! :woohoo:

I'm dead serious about going. I really do think this should be a big Ledgie thing.

I hadn't heard that this might be the last one!!! I really wanted to go at some point but I don't think I can make it this year :(

not a lot, but we could make it work for a night or two.

I'm going. :shocked:

My oldest friend (25 years and counting) and I are planning a whirlwhind trip to NYC, then Long Island (where I am from).

If I don't necessarily want to dress like Stevie, what do Iwear?

Do you have any vintage? Like a Von Furstenberg 'wrap' dress, or Halston? With stiletto sandals, if you got 'em. Prints are big here too, so if you have a dress (in violet and blue) with a print with a nice pair of heels I think you'll be fine. Accessories are chunky again, so you can load up on the cuff bracelets and big rings.
What will you do with your hair?

Photos from past events, most people that go do have similar outfits to what Stevie would wear :D

John, I love you. I giggled when I read "Halston and VonFurstenberg" because at first I thought you were teasing me and then I realized you weren't. I don't have designer clothes! That being said, I *WILL* have these items by May 14. I have some young hip friends at work. They are very excited for me and will totally make sure I am appropriately dressed for this pilgrimage.

Can I wear black, though? Instead of violet and blue (though those are both good colors for me)? I begin the elliptical routine this weekend, so I may lose the 10lbs I would need to feel confident enough to NOT wear black. Should all this be in a PM? LOL

Who else is going and who wants to meet up before the show?

I'd love to meet up :) I have no idea what I'm going to wear either. I don't look good at all in black, but it would feel like sacrilege to go to NOTS in anything but.

I would say that somewhere around 90% of the ladies are clad in black or other dark hues in a normal year. The year that the theme was 'Alice' there was a lot of red, and last time I went (I think 2008) I saw loads of white, I think the theme was doves. It varies by theme, I suppose.

How about leggings? I see lots of tights and leggings here in NYC among the younger crowds, worn under skirts or shorts. Check this out, from TimeOutNYC latest issue...

while the large majority do dress in some themed clothes, there are certainly people not dressed in Stevie-style or themed clothes. wear whatever you're comfortable in. I'd say if you don't want to dress in themed clothes, wear what you'd wear out for a night on the town. don't stress too much, just enjoy the experience!

How quickly does this sell out? I've always wanted to go but never have and maybe this year should be the year!
