Well that sucks. I am losing respect for Mr Kinney by the minute. Why can't the Vegas people get them too?
*sigh* Remember when the Nicksfix was worth looking at?

I hope that doesn't mean there will be another half-assed tourbook. I hope they put some new pics of her in it too. The ones from 2001 are way too old. She looks phenomenal these days so why not photograph the woman?

Actually before it became the official site, it was THE site to go to for news and photos and info. During that period the nicksfix actuallly became my homepage because of all the good info Mr. Kinney used to be allowed to provide. Then he became the official site and we all were psyched because he (like the penguin) had earned that right to be recognized as the official site. Sadly though, this stopped him from being able to post rumors and show spoilers and photos and... quickly the Nicksfix fell from being the best fansite to being a slightly better than most official site.

However, shortly after becoming the official site and before artist direct, the nicksfix had a store, and that store did sell tourbooks (rock a little, timespace, and enchanted, I believe this was prior to TISL) and tour merchandise. So now that Stevie doesn't do artist direct, maybe they can/will bring it back briefly.

i used to go there every day.. now, maybe once a week.. and thats usually just to check on a tourdate or something

Well hopefully they will be ready for the Atlantic City show! I don't think they could possibly be printed and ready to go for Cinci...

I was really bummed out because I thought for sure there would be one on Monday, but alas I was disappointed. I really do not want to pay a ton for one on e-bay.

i heard this also, don said stevie was planning on doing 45 dates, but who really knows

Man, I hope that they do sell the tourbooks. It does not look like I'm going to be able to make it to a show and I really, really want to buy some tour merchandise!

I would personally prefer an unofficial site. u get more info that way it seems. But I think John does a good job with what he has

There were always other good sites, too, as far as I'm concerned: I would rattle them off if I could remember their names or locations.

Like a good many other site owners, Kinney was able to post good stuff because other people supplied him. He didn't start concocting all that data on his own -- people sent it to him. This idea that people have that Kinney dug up all that data on his very own is just not what happened. A good fan site -- like that one, like this one -- relies on submissions by the community of fans. Hundreds of people contributing data is always going to be more comprehensive than one lone cowboy doing it all himself.

I would assume he is using pictures that were taken opening night in Grand Rapids.

The original email he sent me is long gone, although the thread should still be around here somewhere... this is almost verbatim... if he is able to make tour books available thru the website, it would only be to the people who attended 2 Voices or Gold Dust shows where tour books were not yet available, afterall that is why they're called "tour" books and Vegas was not a tour.

oh my.

So I think what happened is since nicksfix became official, John is no longer able to post any information unless it comes from the camp. And it seems the camp in some ways is not too organized when it comes to things like keeping the website updated and merchandising. Wonder if those are Chris's areas of responsibility.. LOL!!!

I still love the nicksfix because you do get things like Q&As, random handwritten notes and journal entries and the occassional rarely seen hi-res photo.
