Your 30 – 60 seconds with Stevie

[PutTheBlameOnMe]

I'd ask her for a twirling conpetition

[Aussie W/Heart]

This is my cherished memory of meeting Stevie back in 1980,[ sorry as I have mentioned some of this in a previous thread.]
Although this took place 30 yrs ago I still clearly remember our conversation. I must say I was shaking with excitement, my heart was beating a million mph, I remember thinking to myself please don't stuff this up like faint or freeze & be stuck for words in front of my most favorite singer of all time.. Thankfully I JUST managed to control my emotions. Anyway here is what happened!!
While holidaying at the Gold Coast/Surfers Paradise Australia with my 2 friends, we had just ordered coffee at this outdoor cafe, I happened to look up at a bus that was driving slowly past, I yelled out there's STEVIE NICKS!!!!!! without any hesitation I ran across the road towards the bus, to my surprise it stopped & the front door opened I walked up the steps when i looked inside there was Mick, John, Christine, Stevie & Lindsey all sitting at the back of the bus no-one else just them. I asked the bus driver if it would be OK to ask Stevie for her autograph, at the time I really didn't care to much about that, I only really wanted to just talk to Stevie.
Stevie said: Hello, Hello Hello, big smiling
me: Hi Stevie
Stevie: looking at me, said & what are your names???
me: this is Julie, Susan & I'm Dianne
Stevie: this is a very beautiful place, it reminds us very much of our home town.
me: [ here is my really dumb question]
me: Why are you all here on the Gold Coast???[ We/I had no idea they were even playing here at the time in Australia]
Stevie: Well are you NOT going to our concert in Brisbane tonight???????????? with her very serious voice
me: not wanting to disappoint her, I felt sooo bad for saying yeah we will be going to your concert for sure!! knowing full well it would be imposable to go as we had spent almost all of our holiday money. Damm my biggest regret of all time!!!!
Stevie:l we'll be doing a real wonderful show for you all tonight. hope to see you there!!!
me: Well where are you going now??
Stevie: we are on our way to Brisbane we have rehearsals at 4.00pm so we need to go now
me: OK then we will see you tonight.
Stevie: Bye Bye
me: see ya Stevie then said we said bye to F/M

"Thank you. I hope we can talk a bit when there's more time; maybe at the Jones Beach concert. I'm sure it could be very interesting."

OH MY you're confident!!!

( LMAO! )

I feel QUITE certain that after all these years Stevie is able to translate "You have mdlthdadkge my livea worth li HUH-huh-huh-huh-HUHHH!! " into The Queen's English.
