LLU--- Lurking Ledgies Unite!

[WildInTheWind]

Welcome to all the new, well semi-new, new to posting Ledgies!

[LEATHER&LACE64]

Hi, everyone I am Lorelei and am member of the shy LLU!!
I have been a fan since The White Album and am totally obsessed with Stevie. Her music helps get me thru life and all its trials and tribulations When I hear her voice-it just makes everything ok again or maybe just more tolerable.
I just love all the concert reviews(Paula's especially crack me up) and all the knowledge that people post and have really learned alot of stuff I never knew. I really appreciate people sharing their experiences, pictures and music and for that I thank you all.

Have you been in touch with him at all since the Say You Will tour? Did you get questions in at the Q&A with him on this site? Are you going to Houston and Dallas again this summer? Do you have good seats?

I really, sincerely hope that you do hook up with him someday and are able to spend a few minutes visiting with him. I think it is really cool that he has such a loyal fan.

I'm crossing my fingers and clicking my heels for you!

Patty

Hey Patty! I submitted a handful of questions to Brett when he did the Q&A last year and I almost met him in Houston but their flight was waiting and they had to leave. I've been in touch with people who've met him after the last three SYW shows and some of the Vegas shows, but other than them mentioning me a couple times and the Q&A I haven't had any contact with him at all. All I know is he knows that I'm out here. I'm not complainin'...

I've got tickets to Houston, 14th row on the right... I hope I didn't make a mistake with that... I got like 22nd row left last year and I could hardly see him, and this year he'll probably be on the right and I got seats on the right. I guess I'll find out next month. I would love to do Dallas the day after but I'm not familiar with the city at all... I am trying to scheme something up for Red Rocks, but I don't know if it's going to work out.

I hope I get to meet him someday -- that voice in my mind was right when it told me he would have a huge impact on me. There are so many things I want to talk about and so many questions... with my luck, I'll forget every one of them.

Good to hear from you, Patty! Are you going to any shows this summer?

My name is Nicki and I am a lurker. There, I admitted it so thats the first to dealing with the problem!

I dont really post because for one most people seem to know each other so its hard to just jump in and also, coming from the UK I feel kinda outta the loop most of the time!!!!

Ok, so I'm 20 and I've been in FM for about three years, I mostly like the Stevie/Lindset era, altho. I like a lot of Peter Green's FM also. I adore Stevie solo as well, and seem to spend a lot of time and money on this obsession!!!

Lots of Love, Nicki

Awwww. Thanks! You're sweet! Glad you enjoy them.

Just so everyone's aware, some of us do know eachother, but most times it's cuz we've met throught The Ledge (or other message boards). There are not that many of us who were friends before we started chatting on the boards.

So, please post & interject whatever opinions/thoughts you have about anything you'd like. That's what the Ledge is here for, after all. Don't feel like you're interrupting just because we tease/laugh at/argue with eachother . You'll be involved in no time.

Unless you think we're a bunch of freaks/assholes/whackos/nerds & you don't WANT to be involved...

Hi all! I guess I no longer fall into "Lurker" territory - but I can relate. I lurked here for a while before I made the leap... And, may I just warn you, now that you've come out of lurkerdom... this place is a tad addicting! But only because there are such great people here. One tihng for sure, my already crazy love of Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac has increased about 500 fold since I joined. I think the love is infectious!

I am here because I've been a FM and Stevie fan for as long as I can remember...I grew up on their music because my Mom was a huge fan. I didn't begin to fully appreciate the music until around 1997 when I lost my Mom. It really got me through some tough spots. I couldn't go to The Dance tour, and I was so bummed because I thought they'd never come back! Imagine my excitement when they announced the new tour, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. I went to all the MI shows...and had front row for Grand Rapids. It was phenomenal! I only wished my Mom was there to share it with me. Bittersweet, I guess.

Anyway...that is why I'm here! You all are great, and I love reading the posts. Sometimes it's hard to just jump in, without knowing anybody. I am kind of shy and to me it's like being in a room full of people and walking in on someone's conversation. That's just not something I would do. So anyway, please forgive me for lurking...I mean no harm!

Hey a Michiganian, Michigander, etc etc are you going to the gold dust tour in GR?

There's a thread out there, a lot of us will be pretty close in the front

I will be in the front row at GR right next to Lisa Anne! I just got my tickets a minute ago! Seats 33 and 34. That deserves a double blob, I think.

I will be at DTE tomorrow, as well. I can't wait!

Hey Nicki, welcome! I guess we have admitted to being Ledgie addicts, just like everybody else! There are several Ledgies from the UK on here, and from all around the world - more than we know of, I'm sure!! So don't feel "out of the loop." The world is a LOT smaller than it used to be,

I've been a major Stevie/Mac fan since 1997, The Dance...although I was always aware of them, way back to the Gypsy and Hold Me videos in '82! But ever since '97, my wallet has been continually drained of its resources, lol. That's just part of the fun!!

I'm mostly a lurker myself... have been since, oh, about 1996 or 97. I've dipped into a few of the political discussions here and sincerely wish I hadn't (though I now consider it water under the proverbial bridge).

But these are some of the most passionate people you'll find anywhere. I feel a deep kinship with Ledgies and actually have some favorites that I read all the time, kinda like favorite columnists in a newspaper.

I don't post much, but every now and then I'll get into something. I love talking and reading about Fleetwood Mac, and unlike my non-virtual family and friends, nobody gets tired of it here!!!

Hey Cat... your "location" is CLASSIC.

THIS... couldn't be more true! LOL! The hours and hours that I have gone on and on about Stevie and the Mac to my friends and family... i'm lucky to still have them.

Introduce yourself, maybe mention why you love the Ledge and what brings you here (whether it be in the shadows, or "full monty" for all to see! ). I'm here first and foremost, for my love and admiration of Stevie and her works. She inspires so much within me, both artistically and as a person.



The attached pic was taken in Vegas, 5-13-05. My friend Olga and I, with Brett Tuggle, who was simply *awesome*...so gracious and warm.

Hey I totally understand where you're coming from. I just joined last month and I'm up to almost 50 now. I guess the reason I joined was to engage in good discussion with other passionate Stevie/Fleetwood Mac fans. At least up here in Minnesota, I haven't been able to find that many to hang with. Oh well, guess they're all too busy listening to Polka music. I've been listening to her sing for almost 30 years, since I was 6, and this is the first time I've really had a chance to connect with other fans in this manner. Both Stevie and Fleetwood Mac mean so much to me, I can say with assurance that I probably wouldnt be here today if I didnt have them to listen to during those tough times. I am enjoying very much reading the responses to the posts I've made, even if they dont agree with me. Look forward to continuing this fun journey
