And I think you should!

I also think a thread for us to vote on a location wouldn't be a bad idea...

Ok you start the thread and see if there is any interest over the next few days and put a poll on there for SF or LA. If there is a good response I'll look into it although if it ends up being up north I'll be at a disadvantage since I"m down here but I'll give it a try! Does that sound ok?

Sounds good to me, and consider it done...

I'd probably go down to LA for it, and would even go to San Jose.

The Stevie parties here in the 90's were in straight bars, the Covered Wagon and some basement bar on 9th whose name escapes me.

The best bet for convincing a bar would be to have a Stevie-theme Trannyshack at the Stud, but I think it would lose the appeal of drawing diehard fans and would just be more of a campy thing.

You're probably right. Damn drag queens ruin everything...

Now go vote! My poor thread is already buried...

....I hate driving in big cities by myself though. We need to meet outside of the city so I can have a driving partner.

...and where would we sleep? Prolly in the car. I've done it before. The sad part is that it was after the Red Rocks concert. Tiff, Anita, and I slept in the car IN A HOTEL PARKING LOT! We. are. cheap.

Hey Ledgies~

In case anyone is interested, here are a couple of reviews that 2 fans wrote after I held the first Mac party at Omega. These are posted on the nicksfix.

Reviews of "The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac" Release Party
---------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a fan party to celebrate the release of the album. It took place at Omega Club in DC.

I was fortunate enough to be able to attend "The Very Best Of Fleetwood Mac" promotional party in Washington DC on October 12, 2002! Wow, it was quite a night! So many feelings-- and some of them were because of the road trip to Washington DC. My friend Mo and I drove southward on I-95, passing by Silver Springs, realizing Stevie named a song after that very town, "because it sounded like a pretty fabulous place."

A very sick and demented person has brought a lot of heartache to our nation, and that very special place. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people, families and friends of those who have been hurt and killed from this whole area.

We were relieved to just arrive. We were welcomed by many Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac fans-- and some very incredible music! October 12 happened to be the day that the "Tusk" album was released to the world; so, along with celebrating the new album, we were clearly celebrating "Tusk"'s birthday! Stevie's song "Sara" got a special "spotlight" on two really fabulous birthday cakes made for the occasion.

There were flowers on either end of a long table: roses and sunflowers for some special friends' birthdays-- and also in honor of Stevie Nicks. There were some gorgeous Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks posters and pictures, as well as a few Top Hats, and tambourines throughout the room. Brand NEW copies of the new "The Very Best Of Fleetwood Mac" were awarded to attendees as their names were pulled out of a hat. A few fortunate people also received mini posters and window clings of the new album.

I saw some people receive other Fleetwood Mac and Stevie albums, as well-- "Rumours," "Fleetwood Mac LIVE," and "Fleetwood Mac" (self titled, 'the white album') were all represented, as was Stevie Nicks' "Bella Donna," "Wild Hearts," "Rock A Little," "The Other Side Of The Mirror" and "Trouble in Shangri-La." They even gave out a few copies of "The Dance, DVD"! I hadn't ever been to a promo gathering before, but if there is going to be one for Fleetwood Mac's NEW album (4/03?), "Save Me A Place." )

This promo party definitely gave some serious grass roots exposure for Fleetwood Mac, as not everyone in attendance were fans! Many other videos were played, but clearly the evening was dominated by Fleetwood Mac. The highlight of the night for me was just being able to enjoy some crystal clear videos and wonderful music with some very special friends. Let's do it AGAIN!

Here are just some of the some of the songs that were featured:

Rhiannon (The Dance)
Over My Head (The Dance)
Say You Love Me (The Dance)
Dreams, two versions. (Tango and The Dance)
You Make Loving Fun (The Dance)
The Chain (Mirage)
Silver Springs
Sara (Tusk)
Angel (Tusk)
Hold Me
Gypsy
Big Love (rockamerica remix)
Seven Wonders
Little Lies (rockamerica remix)
As Long As You Follow
Skies The Limit
Paper Doll
Edge of Seventeen (In Concert)
Stand Back
If Anyone Falls
Talk To Me
I Can't Wait (rockamerica remix)
Rooms On Fire
Whole Lotta Trouble
Every Day
Also somewhat related:
Destiny's Child: Bootylicious
Sheryl Crow's: Soak Up The Sun, Steve McQueen
and a VERY funny video of South Park's that included "Miss. Nicks."
(baaaa!) ... the closing song of the night was "Landslide"

Kudos and special thank yous to Reprise, Rhino and VJTre for giving us all a giant Fleetwood Mac Attack! ) love, blackcat

I had a terrific time at the Omega Club’s “The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac” promotional party. What a feeling to walk into a club and hear something beautiful and familiar. The music of Fleetwood Mac. A large, excited crowd had turned out to welcome the new Fleetwood Mac release. There were videos, there was cake, there was music, there were birthdays, and there were fans. There was a VJ who treated us to such video gems as “I Can’t Wait.” “Gypsy” “Hold Me” “Big Love” “The Chain (from the mirage video)” “If Anyone Falls” and my favorite, the beautiful “Rooms on Fire.” Seeing the videos made me long for the day when they are released on DVD. The heavily Stevie flavored music had everyone in the place dancing, swirling, and celebrating the new ‘Very Best of Fleetwood Mac’ release. A special thanks to VJTre for a wonderful night of great music from old friends. I look forward to the next Fleetwood Mac new release celebration party. I had a time! - Keith, Washington, D.C.
