NOTS 2011 - The Wild Heart - 6 MAY 2011.
 

Hi guys,

6th May!! Hurrah! I can make this date! As some of you may know, I've been planning to attend NOTS this year for ages but then 2 things came up in May that I couldn't get out of - but not until later in the month!

Ok - so now the plans begin! First of all, I know they're not on sale yet but can anyone tell me - when they do, is it possible to buy tickets online? I'm in the UK so that is the only way.

Also - who's up for meeting there?!

Al.

Oh wow... and here we thought that 2010 was going to be the last year. Good to hear that's not the case! I doubt I'll ever be able to attend a NOTS, but I'm glad they're still going on.

I'm just glad people came dressed last year because the past few years the whole meaning of it had taken a detour and was looking quite trashy.

whats nots, are we talking about the night of a thousand stevies?

I'm excited. Sounds like I have to look for something to wear with a heart on it. Last year, I utterly failed to find a moon!

Indeed... NOTS = Night Of a Thousand Stevies: the annual Stevie Nicks extravaganza held in Manhattan. :wavey:

Have always wanted to attend, if I start planing now it may just happen. This may even happen around the release of the new album making it that more "special"!

Yeah, I've seen some picture's where I thought, wow this could been Hollywood Blvd. on Halloween night! I've been to Hollywood on Halloween, its def. a site to see!

I always plan to attend, but never have enough money. Also, I will still be having class May 6. :[

I hope I can make it this year! And drag Louie with me :D

If Louie dons chiffon and heels, I want to see it. (Or do I?) :laugh:

I'd truly love to go... I just never have the money.

And Shane, I can't see myself doing drag... ever :laugh:. But I have plenty of black button down wispy Guess shirts, black boots, and crescent moon and crystal ball necklaces. That'd have to suffice :lol:.

You should show off this stuff sometime :nod:

Just no black shirts with white buttons, Ugh. (SYW)

It's only good if Jazmen Flowers is there. 'Course I sang with her back in LA in the day....

ohhhh lord, guess im gonna have to get my friend to design something new for me!:]

Oh I think we should all go!! louie - I know what you mean. I have wanted to go for the past 3 years but 2011 is only possible because I'm working and will plan in advance. I totally get not having the money though so, as great as it would be to finally meet you (at NOTS of all places) it's cool if you can;t make it.

As for costume - me in drag would be like a cross between Frank N Furter and Harry Potter and so I've decided to dress "up" as.... John McVie!

The timing is perfect for Stevie to finally make an appearance at the event considering the publicity campaign for her new album should be in high gear at that point. It's a photo opportunity that almost every major news outlet would be interested in running.

This would ba great advertising for her! She could just make a short apperance with the body guards etc. :shrug:

...and in the spirit of the year's theme, she actually performs "Wild Heart" on stage. :eek: I could seriously die. Seriously. She, Sharon and Lori could come out onstage dressed up and posed like the trio of Stevies on the Wild Heart cover. It would be so perfect, and since it's not a full concert, she can really belt it out. Do this, Stevie. Puhlease! :angel:

^^^ Well, if they don't make it, you just gave the Ho-Hos a great idea! :nod:

I really want to try and make it to this one. It's something Bruce and I always wanted to do together, always said to each other, "maybe next year..."

I'm just waiting for Box Office information. Can any experienced NOTS goers tell me if tickets go on sale online?

Also, apologies - I meant to add the full info here that I got from the mailing list:

NIGHT OF 1000 STEVIES is the best-known STEVIE NICKS fan event in the world, a riot of shawls, lace, baby's breath, twirling, tambourines and great performance. This event began at JACKIE 60 in 1991 with four performers, and has grown into a true spectacle, featuring countless interpretations over a marathon night. In 2010, the twentieth edition of NOTS won the coveted GLAMMY AWARD for BEST NIGHTLIFE EVENT - it also inspired the 2001 film GYPSY 83. As always, this Enchanted evening will climax in a twirl of shawls and tambourines with the Battle of a Thousand Stevies near morning.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 2, 2011 --
Joshua-Paul Angell, Host of "The Joshua-Paul Show" On WBTR WorldWide Radio; also Broadcast on various AM/FM affiliates across the Country and streaming World Wide-
Angell was recently was asked about an upcoming appearance that was noticed via his Facebook Fan Page and his Radio Show Blog.
The January 3, 2011 show can be heard here live or anytime after the fact at this address: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/joshuaa...-special-guest



Joshua-Paul Angell says "I am a huge Stevie Nicks fan and I am intrigued with NOTS (Night Of A Thousand Stevie's NYC). I am always amazed at the true bond that occurs between Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac fans. Charlene Marie Coran is going to be an exciting interview as she is full of energy and laughs. She is also a very gifted tribute artist and deserves the exposure."
The show will air on January 3 2011, the first true Prime Time show of 2011 and of The Joshua-Paul Show. It will also be archived as a Podcast so that it can be listened to at any time.
Angell says, "We are also broadcast via the iPHONE free APP called CINCH"
Later this month Angell and his Co-Host April Landis will be having on Arlene Lewis; who runs the popular group called "Sisters Of The Moon" which is a network of Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac fans that is continually growing.



The Joshua-Paul Show asked Charlene Marie Coran, the upcoming show guest to provide information as why she is so inspired. Charlene quickly responded saying:
"I first learned about Night of a 1000 Stevie's (NOTS) in 2005 when I watched a movie that came out called "Gypsy 83" staring Sara Rue, Kett Turton and Karen Black which was directed by Todd Stephens and released in 2004. As watching this movie for the first time I was not understanding what it was like to be the main character portrayed in the movie so I was very disappointed in the movie, however, I wanted to see if NOTS was real so I looked up the name on the internet and found the main website probably in April 2005.




I was very intrigued and wanted to see if I could audition as I've been getting so much attention from different karaoke bars from people saying I sounded just like Stevie, so wanted to pursue the avenue of possibly becoming a Stevie Nicks impersonator/Tribute Artist. I immediately received a friendly email back from Chi Chi Valenti - NOTS Founder and producer saying that the bill was closed for that year and to try again the beginning of the year 2006. Well needless to say - I was anxious for 2006 to get here so as soon as it did - I only had a 30 second audio recording of me that was recorded by Todd South who ran an open mic session at a coffee shop in Reno, NV. I used that clip and sent it to the NOTS producers right away. In early March 2006, I received an email from Chi Chi stating that I was accepted as one of their debut performers and they requested that I sing "The Chain." I was so very nervous and excited - I never sang to a huge crowd before and never been to NYC that since I was known as a local public figure in Reno, NV - I went to many businesses and friends to see if they would help sponsor me in which I raised about $1200 for my 1st trip to the Big Apple. I was also featured in 2 of the main newspapers in Reno, The Reno Gazette and the Reno News and Review (music magazine) which ran the same day on both. I received more than 3000 hits to my myspace page after publications were released to the community.




I was so excited to perform "The Chain" in front of everyone that after my performance, I bawled backstage in front of performers. I found a quote from one of the NOTS performers, Jazmen Flowers who quoted me in The Ledge (An official Fleetwood Mac site which can be found at http://www.TheLedge.com as saying "Charlene Coran was so good...and overwhelmed backstage after her performance." Here is the link to my first debut 2006 performance as you can hear I was a bit nervous and my vocals were shaky at first. The audio/visual was not that great either but thanks to Sharon Bos - I was able to have a memory of my first real public experience: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-9cH7SMwDM " - Charlene Marie Coran

OMG!! Is this the same Joshua Paul-Angell as that (retired) world renown fashion designer extraordinaire?? Surely he is as good a broadcaster as he is a radio show host and a publicist. And if he says The Ledge is an "official" Fleetwood Mac website, then he must know something (especially the URL)! Oh, to be so connected, multi-talented, glamorous and fabulous!

If I had someone to stay with, I'd be there in a second. I'd have to start really saving now, but I would do it. JANNIE, are you hoping to go this year?

YES! I've been anticipating this for a LONG TIME! Can't wait to see Amber Martin and Jazmen FLowers...my two favorites!

Don't see how I could swing it this year. I have to be in NY in July, and doubt very much I could do both (financially). I won't rule it out, though. It really could be a quick week-end road trip for me. And I do have that Marriott connection...:woohoo:

dude, where was that?

What did you guys sing?

Won't be able to get there this year, but last year's was a blast! I highly recommend every Stevie fan goat least once in their life. :thumbsup:

I'll be in Florida this year seeing my other love, Kylie Minogue.:D

I'll be seeing Kylie in DC April 30th then will be at NOTS the following weekend. My two ladies in one week - woo hoo - well, sorta :-)

Travis that is an AWESOME weekend!! I'm seeing Kylie on March 28th!

Sweet! Didn't I also read that you are going to NOTS too?

I'm hoping to. I was all set to get tickets and get flights etc but then my boiler broke! I need to fork out some serious money for that first. I really, really want to go. I have for years, but it all depends... damnit! I'm so pissed off. Ihad it all planned...

When do we find out the order and do you know what each ones singing before

Don't know if anyone's seen this, but Jazmen just posted this to FB:

"I'm doing the demo version of one of Stevie's best songs. it was recorded many years ago, but didn't make the cut. it was later re-recorded and released, but had lost a lot of the emotion and fire the demo has. good enough (but ambiguous) hint?! :)"

I hear she will be working with a producer to create the track so I'm excited to see which song it is. What do you think?

Maybe If You Were My Love? or Julie?

Smile at You

Hmm. That must be one I've missed. I'll have to look it up. I'm excited either way.

Because of what I underlined it can't be either of the two you mentioned.

Oh my bad.
