Greetings from downtown New York City to our beloved Gypsies, and all who have joined our newsletter since last year's NOTS. Thanks for all of your correspondence and posts, emailed bouquets and critiques of last year's edition at HIRO BALLROOM. This year we are "back out on the road again", but only a few steps west of Hiro - at a spanking-new venue called HIGHLINE BALLROOM. This year's show NOTS 18: NIGHTBIRDS will be held on Friday, May 9, and tickets go on sale this weekend. We are thrilled to be announcing the date early enough to let our far-flung Gypsies make travel plans.

We think you're going to LOVE our latest venue - it combines the larger size of Hiro with the rock-and-roll feel of previous venue THE KNITTING FACTORY. The stage is huge, high, and gorgeous, the lighting and tech is awesome, drink prices are a bit more reasonable, and best of all, we can once again admit 18-21 year olds. (We sorely missed our under-21 Gypsies last year, and that was a big item on our wish list for 2008.)

Check out THE HIGHLINE BALLROOM here

Our next mail will have lots more details, including confirmed performers, more about the theme, and box office information. We wanted to get the date out today so you can begin to make plans, and will be back in touch when the box office opens this weekend. News will also be available on the ENCHANTED GYPSIES forum on THE MOTHERBOARDS NYC.


A NOTE TO PERFORMERS
All performers who have played at NOTS in the past, let us know your intentions for this year as soon as possible. Look out for a separate email in the next week or so with more information about this year's theme and how we'd like to bring it through performance-wise this year. We do NOT need song requests this early, but you are welcome to send them along.

If you are a new performer who would like to apply to perform at NOTS 18, please email us now at [email protected] and we will send you full instructions on how to apply.


BOX OFFICE AND TICKETS
Advance tickets $20 till February 1 (a thank-you to our longtime attendees)
$25 after February 1 and at the door if available.

Box Office opens Saturday 1/19 on the HIGHLINE BALLROOM site - we'll email you as soon as it does

Night of a Thousand Stevies is probably 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 eighteen years ago with four performers, and has grown into a true spectacle, featuring countless interpretations over a marathon night. As always, this Enchanted evening will climax in a twirl of shawls and tambourines with the Battle of a Thousand Stevies near morning.

As we once again prepare for a truly magical night, we are humbled by the very special joy and tremendous support that you bring to NOTS every year. Special greetings to all of our friends from the Stevie websites and other online outposts for the Gypsies That Remain. Forward and post freely, and we look forward to twirling with all of you Nightbirds, NOTS Legends and newbies alike, on May 9.

And The Love Remains -

Chi Chi Valenti, Hattie Hathaway and Johnny Dynell
Producers, NOTS
