Hi everyone,

I haven't been active online in the fandom for a couple years, and even when I was, it was brief, but I wanted to share my little story with you

I met a few of you there tonight, and I just want to say what an honor it was to share the evening with you.

When I got up to Stevie, the first thing I did was ask if I could shake her hand, which I did, and told her how beautiful she looked. She thanked me and was very gracious and sweet. As she looked down to sign my items, I said "You know, I just have to tell you that I have the biggest crush on you." At first, she didn't really respond, but then after a second, she said "You know I could be your grandmother."

I didn't hear what she said the first time, so she looked up at me and repeated it. I told her I didn't care at all and repeated how stunning she looked. I thanked her, and that was it.

I can't believe it was as amazing as it was and I only had to wait 4 hours. I got there at 4 after running from class uptown and expected not even to get in, but the last few rows of chairs were filling up just as I got there.

Thank you for speaking what was on all of our minds.

I knew that I just had to do it, even at the risk of perhaps weirding her out a bit. But I think she was just flattered.

I may have been able to get away with it even more so because I am a girl

OKAY so I am JUST getting home...well at 12midnight and now its 1am!! I am STILL in awe that I got to meet Stevie and talk to her and her touching me Like I can barekly believe it!! In my WILDEST dreams I would never actually really think I would really meet Stevie Nicks herself!! but it happened and I can honestly say if it wasnt for Eric I wouldnt have gone and met Stevie!! I have been awake for 30 hours now HAHA

Monday afternoon I took a power nap til 7pm and I've been up since
Eric and his friend Wendy picked me up at 3:30am. We arrived in NYC at the Barnes and Noble by 8:30 and chilled outside until 10am. While waiting in line SNLRhiannon(Tiffany) was behind us w/ her friend!!! So that was awesome we all became like BBFs all day! I also got to meet up w/ Brain, Andrew, Pattie, I saw Curtis, and a few other people. We took many pictures and funny videos. I only got a few good pictures of Stevie and an 18 second video HAHA.

So once they opened the doors at 10am there were about 60 people in line. We ordered our CDs/DVDs got our receipt...before we get on stage for Stevie to sign our stuff we show our receipt to the people and give us what we bought for her to sign. They played tons of Stevie throughout the store. We all pretty much chilled out and also went out to get fresh air off and on. We found an AWESOME penis book that Tiffany played an awesome joke on Eric with =P Andrew REALLY got a kick out of the book SO I chatted with people and took pictures and made good friends with the host guy Matt he was wicked cute ;-) So everytime I saw him I'd be like "HI MATT!!" and wave xD

So there was a section for the press to take pictures of Stevie when she arrived for like 5 minutes. She arrived at 6:30pm so she was 30 minutes early and she DID sign up until 10pm. We were allowed to take pictures so people MAULED over that side of the room. Stevie also took pictures with 3(i think 3)people who did the NOTS thing. Then she made her way to the stage where she spoke a few words and she was VERY candid and it was awesome!! I'll have Eric explain his experience =P

Each row got called up. So I was in the thrid row. I'm NOT gonna lie, I was a COMPLETE mess!! Crying and everything...Like I never thought I would EVER meet Stevie and HERE SHE IS AND I AM GOING TO MEET HER!!! So when it was my turn I stood there w/ my mouth wide open and I said "oh my god Stevie I love you" she signed my Stevie DVD and CD and I said "My mom wanted to be here but she couldnt but wanted me to say Hi and that she loved you" so Stevie wrote "mom" w/ a squiggle under it on the DVD and she said something to me and she held my hands and I said "Thank you SO much". Stevie is SOOOOO much tinyer in person!! She's SO small, her hands were WICKED soft, and her voice is like a nasily child...its SOOO cute!! She looked me right in the eyes and I thought that was really nice. Oh and Andrew took a video of Eric, Myself, and Tiffany meetin Stevie!! So I cant wait to see that video!

After you did your meet thingy they rushed you off stage and I just started bawling my eyes out!! I called my mom IMMEDIATLY and she started crying once she found out I met Stevie...lol I called a few other people and was on a texting rampage!! I cried EVERYTIME I said the story and I think I will keep crying when I tell the story HAHA

There were a LOT of film crew people. ET interviewed Stevie so hopefully that will air tomorrow. Tiffany(SNLRhiannon) got interviwed right after Stevie signed her stuff. Some camera guys panned on us(Eric, Wendy, Tiffany, etc) while we were waiting in line so WHO KNOWS who will be on TV...lol

I did take A LOOOOT of pictures and some of the Stevie ones came out good.

This has got be the experience of a lifetime for you guys. This is way better then when we do the edge of 17 thing because its kind of hard to communicate with Stevie with her band playign loudly in your ear and your elbow to elbow with a couplde hundred people. This was way more personal, I'm very envious. AND it was a free meet n greet.

SandyMac · #**336** 03-31-2009, 11:53 PM

Wow. Congratulations to everyone who went. That is just awesome that Stevie held hands with fans and looked you in the eye. Thank you for all the pics and video.

Ok, so I am so stoked that Stevie said she is doing another solo album, so I wonder how this will tie into a possible FM album? Who knows, I am just so excited it seems that she is excited about the music business again. Hopefully sales of this CD/DVD plus the mp3 sales inspired her a bit.

Stevie... come to Washington DC. If you come, I am so there.

How much can her little hand take? I suspect the last hundred signatures are going to look like total chicken scratch.

And most people had 2 items to sign!

I am uploading my photos now... they arent great but you'll get the idea

Aww, I'm so glad. And your sister is a great sport.

As others have said, the time really did pass by pretty quickly with so many wonderful people around.

as we were walking to the train, she grumbled "Stevie totally blew me off and she practically hugged you!!"

and I said "well, you did tell her I was her biggest fan!!"

and then she said "hey, I helped you get more face-time"

and I said "and that's why you're a wonderful sister"

and she said "how much do you think my signed cd would go for on ebay?"

BellaSara · #**343** 04-01-2009, 12:23 AM
