If you look up previous pictures or articles about the event you would find is the atmosphere and acts you took in are pretty much the status quo of the Night of 1000 Stevies. There is very little class or glamour involved unless you consider the heavy make-up and done-up wigs as glamorous. You also seemed to have been expecting a much larger venue than the night club they held it at. I can tell you that when I went, the club that hosted it then was HALF the size of the current host club. It was unbearably crowded, hot, full of smoke and the scent of hairspray and sweat. I don't care much for awful drag, horrible kareoke, or lesbianic dance "tributes" to Stevie Nicks, still I found the atmosphere electric and intensely devoted to Stevie. I loved being in a roomful of worshippers such as myself of all walks and sexual persuasions. It was an experience in an of itself to be surrounded by people everywhere singing to Stevie's music being blasted through the speakers. It was fabulous, I had a great time and I would love to go back

Thanks for your comments, I agree everyone was worshipping her and maybe I should have stayed later it sounds like it took off later in the night. However, having travelled for 10 hours that day and then dashing out straight away as soon as I had showered and dressed up and my hotel reservation being changed to another hotel etc etc, by the time I got to the NOTS event I was miserably fed up.
Regards.
