My night with Stevie

foxyluva · #1 03-04-2006, 05:20 PM

Hey guys!

Thanks for the PM's

I was so nervous going into the concert last night. We left during the encore, so I missed beauty & the beast, but i'll catch it at the next show

My brother, myself and 4 other people were there. We waited for about 20-30 minutes for Stevie to ready herself, and she came out of her dressingroom! I was first in line, so I introduced myself to her, and vice versa, and I gave her the flowers I brought for her, and then i gave her my Buckingham Nicks to sign and she goes "Oh, this cover. The one that caused all the trouble" and i asked her why, and she said that the day after that the cover had been taken, she took it home to get her parents approval, and she put it under her bed, and the next day she had to be rushed to hospital to have an ovarian cyst removed

and forgot to show them, and they only saw it when it came instore. I said i thought it was pretty tasteful, and she said she thought so to, but you know how parents are

She then shook my hand again and moved on, but at the end of signing things for people, she answered all our questions. I asked her about the upcoming Fleetwood Mac tour and wether they would be coming to NZ. She said that she wouldn't sign her contract unless they would

I also asked her if Christine was considering joining back up for this tour. She said no and explained that she really did not just want to do it any more, so nobody was going to force her, and said that FM are going to bring 6 of her songs into the set, and they will decide what they are when they start rehersals in January

She ponited at my BN cover and said "You know, when its only those two dark people, there it is not really FM" and I said, Christines songs balance out both Lindsey's and yours and she agreed. The were a few other things said, but nothing of major importance, and then she proceded to leave, and i shook her hands again, and told her i was looking forward to seeing her in New Plymouth & Christchurch - and she said "Cool, i'll see you there"

I remembered that i wanted to ask her about her a new album just as i was leaving, but said on the card that was in the flowers that we were all looking forward to the next album, so if she reads that...

That is pretty much the gist of it all, but it was so amazing to meet her. She is so tiny and fragile - she really is just like a china doll

Her skin is just as flawless as it looks in the magazines.

I also met Vanessa Carlton, and we had a chat, and she signed my tourbook, and signed things for the other people. But I went to grab my pen off her when she was leaving, and she thought I was handing out my hand for a handshakeand she then took off with my pen

How many people can say that they met Stevie, and Vanessa Carlton stole their pen all in the same night

Wow!!!

I'm so pleased for you, you're so lucky! Great news that the FM tour sounds like a sure thing now.

Sounds like you had a really lovely few minutes with Stevie. Congratulations!

BTW...im glad you had such a great time!

Somebody cover Brandon's eyes before he reads this...

I have to say, I'm mildly intrigued by this prospect (at the very least, this makes things interesting enough that I would actually consider going to a concert, if it's not too expensive). I'm not holding my breath that they'll make the most interesting choices or perform them tastefully, but ideally I think Stevie could do a great job on songs like "Oh Daddy" and "Brown Eyes," and Lindsey could really tear up "Think About Me" and "Isn't It Midnight." Or how about a full-blown "Hold Me" rave-up?

If they do perform a handful of Chris's tunes, I just hope (completely in vain, I know) they drop "Don't Stop."

I dunno looks like Christine songs to me.

Hawkeye · #7 03-04-2006, 05:37 PM

I highly doubt that they're going to do six of christine's songs. Im sure it will be more like 2-3 when they actually start rehearsing. And is your month system different in Austrailia, is January there the same as January here?

I rarely say "LOL" but: LOL.

With the exception of cultural institutions like the Jewish and Chinese calendars, the world operates on the same dating system.

Can you imagine the economic headaches if different countries used different calendars?

Well I know it's summer there now, so I figured maybe it was also July or August there too. I guess Im wrong. So they'll rehears in freaking JANUARY. There better be some sort of recording between now and then. Fleetwood Mac, Rhiannon Project, Solo album for either Lindsey or Stevie.

gold_dustgypsy · #11 03-04-2006, 05:48 PM

Foxyluva... I am so happy for you, it sounds amazing!

PS~ Do you remember who she dedicated Landslide & Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You to?

BellaDonna1986 · #12 03-04-2006, 05:53 PM

I have to agree, it does sound a little worrying that they're going to bring some of Christine's songs into the equasion. But I agree with you, Jyqm - Hold Me rave-up, indeed! I'm sure that would be brilliant!

Anyway, we'll just have to wait and see what happens...

Oh, Foxyluva, did it turn out that you weren't allowed to take photos, like you'd been told?

Nope, the seasons are different of course just because of the angle and revolution of the earth, but the arbitrary things like names of months/dates/years are all the same!

Well, we actually knew that they'd be touring next year. Bands typicall rehearse anywhere from four to eight weeks before hand. So that puts the tour in March of next year, which makes sense time frame-wise.
