Who has met Stevie?

camchristo · #1 02-06-2007, 07:02 PM

I have no exciting meeting to tell of. Just wanted to hear stories from anyone who does. Details... When, where, how was the experience? I'm sure there's been a thread like this in the past, but I didn't see anything recently and didn't figure that anyone who has met her would mind telling about it again.

For the record, I'll just say I'm jealous of everyone who has, which will prevent me from having to post it after every entry.

I'll start a separate thread for LB, so SN only here.

Well, I haven't met Stevie..... Haven't even seen her solo actually, but last year I sent her a package of me playing like 7 of her song on piano. I also wrote her a letter and a poem for her dad..... No word on if she got it or not.....

Oh well, one of these days I'll meet her....

And it will be toooooo awesome.

I LOVE THAT WOMAN!!!!!!

I have met Stevie.... Actually I would say it goes beyond meeting her. It was on the Enchanted Tour in Chicago 5/30/98. I worked for the tour's sponsor I was so excited that this was going to happen. Once I found out that we were going to sponsor the tour, I wanted to meet her. I received several offers for tickets, but I wanted backstage.

I scored the passes for the aftershow. My girlfriend and I (who is now my wife) attended the show, had great seats etc... We got a little lost trying to find the area for backstage after the concert, and ended up on the other side of venue... we had to dash back to be in time, and we were. However, when we got the room everybody (about 200 people) was lined up along the wall, and we were last in line... I was hoping we would get to meet her being so far back.

So, in walks Stevie, and her assistant. The asst. lays down the rules...
NO pictures, you will get to shake her hand, and she sign only ONE thing.
(I had 3!)
Her assistant was walking about 1-2 people ahead of her, and gettting the people's names ahead of time. She would introduce you to Stevie, sign, and you would leave, and she would move on. As she got closer and closer I started to feel faint, and VERY nervous! I have been a fan of hers for 20 years at this point, and all I wanted to do was to meet her.

Well, I'm up... I tell the assistant my name is Mike... Just then, I notice that ALL the other people have left the room as they met her. So, when I get introduced, I notice that it's Stevie, her assistant, me, and my girlfriend and the security guy by the door THAT IS IT!!! As I shake her hand(probably more like grabbed it) I say, "Stevie you really don't know what this means to me!" and she said "Why don't you tell me"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, there I was talking to Stevie for about 30 minutes... about music, the concert, the Red Rocks shows (I lived in Colorado for 25 years), Phoenix etc... anything I could ask. We laughed, and it was wild... no bull**** from the assistant, or security! She signed my tour program to me and my girlfriend, my Bella Donna CD cover, and my Street Angel "flat". She even called me Michael... We left the room, and there were standing outside still wanting my pass to get in... NO WAY!

The next week we drove to Indy to see her... I was offered backstage again but it never happened... which is good IMO... I didn't want anything to ruin that experience.

wow. you're lucky. that's awesome. knowing Stevie, the person, is just what I imagine makes me really satisfied in my absolute, psychotic love for her.

oh, and if Stevie's "people" are reading...I'm not serious about the "psychotic" part.

"Psychotic" is about right... I have been called that when it comes to my love of her...

An old friend of mine in San Diego won several first place prizes doing Stevie in lip synch contests in the 1980s .He even had two lesbians doing back up as Lori and Sharona...that was good enough for me.

I met Stevie with my daughters back stage in 1994. A security guard came up to us before the show and asked us if Stevie could sing HAEWAFY to my daughters. I'm like YES. When we went up to the stage, Stevie wasn't informed that the security guard already picked my girls so............We ended up watching the rest of the show from the stage and met her backstage afterwards.

Wow, SO awesome for those of you who have met her. I can dream. So it looks like you probably need some sort of connection or need to know someone to get backstage, huh?

I can't remember who posted in another thread, but he or she was talking about how Stevie usually invites the same people backstage when she is in certain towns and that some of them have received moon pendants from her. Anyone know anything about this? Or are any of our own Ledgies lucky enough to be one of these people?

I know a girl called Ash went backstage numerous times and got a moon necklace from Stevie, Not sure if she still posts here though

I met Stevie back in 2001 when I went to see her concert in Vegas. Met Sheryl Crow also

I'm sure Stevie gets sent lots of things. I doubt she looks at everything she gets
