My Stevie story

[zentull]

While pre dominately a fan of the Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac, I thought I would post here my first time I met Stevie. I was doing sound for a friends band at a place called Rockers in Phoenix a very long time ago and they had a look a like contest where the winners got to hang out with the star that night. After the first set I went to the bar to get a refill on my pitcher. The lighting guy who was positioned above the soundboard asked if I would get him one too. So I turned the corner with both pitchers in hand lokking back and up at him when I walked into a Stevie Nicks look a like coming around the corner. She bounced off me and skidded across the floor in front of the bar. She was this tiny blonde thing and she was a little pissed at being dropped like that. Well, my hands were full so I apologized and turned to the bar to get the pitchers filled. Afterwards I tried to apologize figuring that she got all dressed up to meet Stevie and I propably ruined her night. She wouldn't look at me and this big guy with her just gave me a look. So I shrugged it off and went back and didn't think much of it. All the guys later kept bugging me about it and thought it was sooo funny. I didn't think it was that funny and finally got a bit pissed about the teasing. Then they explained it wasn't a look a like and that Stevie was really pissed off at me and had given me looks all night whenever I was away from the soundboard. A few years later A friend and myself ran into her and as he was talking to her she looked at me with a funny look and asked where she knew me from. Of course I said we had never met. My buddy said he almost cracked up completely, knowing the whole story, as I did everything to avoid looking at her while she was talking to me.

That is a good story! I can't believe that happened! I love it that she remembered you from somewere later on and couldn't remember where from. I guess it was better that you didn't remind her.

I love Stevie stories! Yours is one of the best I've ever heard. You actually knocked Stevie down. I can't say that's how I'd want to meet her, but you're lucky you got to meet her twice. I'm still shooting for my first time. Any more details?

Oh, man, that story was the best!!! I can't believe she kept giving you dirty looks. You're all "in trouble with Stevie". The best was later, "oh, no, I swear, we've never met!!"
Awesome.

It was the first of 2 benefit shows for St Marys food bank, filled out by local bands. It was in 1986, though the only flyer I found was for the 2nd show on June 14th at a place called The Impulse. So it should of been May or June for that show. If its the right show, this was the night after Poison dropped their drawers and started a mini riot at the club. Following the 2nd show we were all invited over to the promoters for a party, which was filled with all gay guys except for us. I remember moving around in a large group back and forth to the keg, trying to be polite, but feeling very uncomfortable. The lighting guy got so drunk he ended up dancing with a bunch of guys. The 2 look alikes/Celebrities that Showed if I remember correctly were Stevie and Ron Keel from the band Keel. Rob Halford was there as well, but I think he was just hanging out. Those were strange days.

How small she was even in heels and definitely petite. Remember I thought she was the look a like, who was that girl who made a little career out of looking like Stevie. I cant remember her name, but I think she got in trouble over something later. I keep thinking it was Cheryl something. The second time I really avoided looking at her much.

Best Stevie story. Ever.

Fantastic story. Oh man, if something like that happened to me, I'd probably CR** my pants for sure

[cliffdweller]

I wonder who the "big guy" was with her.

So when she "skidded back and over to the bar" did she fall, or almost fall? I would hate to get bad looks from Stevie. Bad mojo.

Thanks for sharing your story.
