Seriously...someone should plan to distract Karen at all cost! She will be telling Stevie it's time to go after the first signature!

Actually I'd like to hear "Crystal" more. It's got Stevie/ Lindsey duet written all over it. Stevie could pull that song off without a hitch. I HIGHLY doubt that if she did SOTM, it would resemble anything close to what we see on the Mirage video. At least not from a Stevie vocal or peformance standpoint. The boys could still rock the **** out of that song though.

Now see if she is signing stuff like this, why did we only get offered a "handful" of signed lithographs with our online order for this CD/DVD? She should sign an extra 500 or so CD covers and make those available to fans via her web site, through B&N or something. Like a code to put in for ordering or something. ahhhh, just thinking out loud I guess....

I like the idea that she's doing this, because you actually get to meet her and her signature would be more personal to you. Quite a "noble" thing she's doing... GET IT? NOBLE????

wondering if there is alot of people im sure and we all know there will be alot and alot of people waiting in line im wondering if its not even personal she just might sign her name and move on to the next person cause then you she will have to ask people how to spell that it might take to long maybe she has a few signed up a head of time makes sense

LOL, yes noble. I know, but it does seem like this whole litho signature thing was just not handled right. Believe me if for some reason she came to Washington DC, I would be on the metro so fast from Virginia to get a sig.

With a limited amount of time and so many people though, I can see why they would want to keep the line moving as fast as possible so everyone hopefully has a chance to get a sig. Hope Stevie is prepared to get writers cramp, she may need a hand/wrist massage when this is all said and done.

There are chairs set up (although they won't let you sit in them til its almost time for the event-and most people end up standing) infront of a small stage with a table and chair where the person signing sits. You walk up on the stage, get a signature and you're escorted off. You're literally sitting in the store, on the floor in the book aisles. The wait is agonizing, but worth it. My fear is that 12 hours won't be early enough. I don't think B&N understands what they've gotten themselves into. And I believe there were wristbands involved, etc. That's a possiblity.

Thanks so much for the information.. That's what I posted in wanting to find out as well.. I have a feeling my friend's will be "camping out" the night before.. from what they said.

Well is she gets tired midway through, she can always sit back and have Karen sign them for her. I can just see it, Stevie chit chatting away, while directing everyone over to Karen, who is feverishly signing away.

Thanks again for the info!

I am still trying to figure out what a good arrival time is! I'm just scared to get there too late. I left the store....its in Union Square and if you're not familiar with that, well there are a million food places, stores, etc in the area. Once you've been in line with the same people for a few hours you will feel comfortable to get up and take a break. People will hold your spot. And for that reason its best to go with friends if you can, but if that's not possible I'm sure people from this site will help you! It's gonna be nuts....

I'm going to have to miss this one out anyway. I can't stand for more then 5 mins anyway and if I sit in the floor there's no way I will be able to get back up lol

It's okay. I'll be happy when my preorder's of her new releases are in my hands

lol

I think this BN is going to be a bit of a disaster.....I don't know. I hope I'm wrong. I can see the crowds of people being rushed to hurry up not even being able to say more then 5 words to Stevie. Most likely she will only sign the DVD or CD not any other item. I would be more happier if she had an official myspace talking to fans or a great official site where she speaks to fans bi weekly. Sorta like what Jane Fonda does (janefonda.com) :P

You god damn East coasters, stealing all the Mac appearances... *grumble grumble*

whitewingdove73 · #72 03-22-2009, 10:36 PM

I don't know why she doesn't sign in California and Chicago too. Maybe the tour and all.

cactusjack · #73 03-23-2009, 01:54 AM

wasn't there an implication this was just the FIRST of a few signing sessions?

I think it's rather odd that she would still be on the East Coast on this date- the tour doesn't resume in Philly until April 15, so you would think she would be back home in LA for those three weeks after Canada. Plus it's not like she's scheduled to appear on any of the talk shows (yet?). I would imagine that she has to hit at least one or two of the morning shows and/or Letterman or Jimmy Fallon, etc.

I mean, isn't that the purpose of this little tour break- that Stevie can go and promote the mess out of the CD/DVD?

one would think. I originally thought the timing of the Soundstage release and the FM tour was a good marketing strategy and I still do but I almost wish she wasn't on tour so she could do a full on promotional schedule. It is a big deal since her last solo show was Red Rocks, 23 years ago and being that she's so proud of it, I imagine she would want to promote it as much as possible. I do hope she will squeeze in a few appearances during the break.
