This is what John Kinney wrote in an email to a member of Seven Wonders:

"Thanks for all who have written with questions about the recent rumors going around that Stevie is performing at a private party on October 14th. The rumors are false. A note was added to the Nicks Fix stating such."

Seems clear to me

I believe when Stevie's done private gigs in the past, she was either preparing to hit the road, in the middle of a tour, or had just finished one... so she had a band in place. For something like this, I don't know that she could just call Taku or Waddy Wachtel out of the blue and say "Hey, what're you doing on October 14th?"

"It is not easy to get these people to play for free, to give their time."

Maybe indeed! Remember yesterday when everybody was all like, "Oh, gee, what the heck, I'll make a reservation, it all still seems iffy to me, but they promised a refund, and if doesn't work out and Stevie can't make it, oh well, it was worth a shot, no harm, no foul!"?

What a difference a day makes.

Thank you so much! Finally someone sees the light. I mean really what should we expect from her? She has never given a green light to real fan club benifits ever. Why should we expect her to care now? Yes Stevie doesn't owe us anything. Shes just a product she sells. However some artist: Heart, Pat, Country singers do give a flying shiit about their hard core fan base. Yes AT LEAST we still get the Edge of 17 walk and the Outside The Rain bouquets, well not since 1998.

Oh yeah while im bragging: Pat Benatar has opened up her sound checks to so many fans in the past before, even at the last minute when they crash them

. The second you ever walk in Pat's dressing room/backstage area usually the 1st words out of her mouth are "would you like something to drink?" Thats the least she does. Ive seen her offer the band/crew buffet to fans that have showed up around soundchecks before. One night the buffet dude told us it was for the band/crew only and Pat said we were ok(and she sat at the table with us while we ate, 2 of the people she had never met before).

Pat came from humble backgrounds and isn't selfish like other spoiled brats growing up. When the Pat Fanclub has been welcomed before to the Soundchecks as a whole, they were more than a sound checks. They basicially did a mini concert for us. She then asked what song do you want to hear next? This was followed by a Q&A session, group pics, thanks, hugs, etc. Guess how much we had to pay? NOTHING, zelch, none of this $350 shiit. Yeah i know Stevie's fan base is much larger than Pat's these days. Its the effort Pat and others put in. Stevie is a Madonna type star, and could care less about most of us die hard fans that have been with her since the 70s.

Bash me all you want, tell me to take it to the Pat board. Bottom line is Stevie is Stevie, and do not expect anything else!

The Vegas show I went to last year was the Friday the 13th one! No bad luck on that day as far as I was concerned!

To all members:

This event is a private party for Seven Wonders. It also a private event for the fans. When details of a private event are made public, a public response is required. John Kinney has done the right thing in making a "public" statement regarding the "private" event scheduled for October 14th. There is no "official" public concert slated for that date. We have explained in as much detail as possible the specifics of this event.

This is a private event for Seven Wonders. A "private" contract being organized for a "private" event. A refund has been offered in the event that the party specifics were not carried out as promised. That was my word to you as administrator of this site and I have kept my word. Those that are uncomfortable with the specifics of this event are welcome to request a 100% full refund as promised.

That message makes no sense since the Nicksfix message makes clear she is not performing at a "private party" on that date. It makes no mention of a official public concert.

I just think this whole event was a little too hopeful... especially as it stemmed on the sale of tickets. If there was already money in place then it might have been different. But from what I gathered it was dependent on ticket sales?

I tend to agree. I mean all of the info. from this has been that it is in the planning stages, etc. If I were attending, I would take a wait and see attitude if I could spare the $350 for another month or so.
