Greetings from the frozen city to all of our beloved Gypsies, and all who have joined our newsletter since last Fall. We are overjoyed to announce the date for our fifteenth annual NIGHT OF A THOUSAND STEVIES. This milestone show will be held on Friday, May 6 at the legendary NYC performance club THE KNITTING FACTORY, scene of last year's NOTS. The larger capacity and seasoned staff of "The Knit" made NOTS 14 a pleasure, and we are happy to be back again for a second year. We promise multiple rooms and floors for your twirling pleasure, including a Stevie-themed lounge, an intimate stage, and balcony viewing of the Main Stage.

This year's theme is "GOLD DUST WOMEN", an homage to everything Golden and Stevie. The stage, room decor and signature "throws" will be be awash in gold - think gold tambourines, gold lace, gold glitter, and of course golden shawls! The golden songs - from the iconic title track to "Gold and Braid" - will all be heard, and worshipped. Golden Girl LIZZIE DAVIS will return from Flower Mound, Texas to open the show, and so many of our most Enchanted performers will be back for this very special edition. We will have first news of the lineup in our next email, or visit the ENCHANTED GYPSIES forum on THE MOTHERBOARDS.

We are expecting a record number of returning Stevie Legends to grace the stage this year, but still want to provide the platform for debuts as magical as last year's STEVIE NICKS EXPERIENCE, fresh from Des Moines, Iowa. If you are a new performer who has already written to us since last year's show, you don't need to do anything - you will be receiving email with instructions in the next few days. If you haven't yet contacted us, please visit our website AFTER FEBRUARY 1 for details at www.mothernyc.com/stevie and then get in touch.

Night of a Thousand Stevies is probably the best-known Stevie Nicks fan event in the world, a riot of shawls, lace, baby's breath, twirling, tambourines and great performance. This event began at JACKIE 60 fifteen years ago with four performers, and has grown into a true spectacle, featuring countless interpretations over a marathon night. As always, this Enchanted evening will climax in a twirl of shawls and tambourines with the Battle of a Thousand Stevies near morning.

Dress: Like a White Winged Dove and Golden: Gold dust and Gold glitter, customized gold-trimmed tambourines, Enchanted Eveningwear, blond and gold, oversized handkerchief hems, metallic gold shawls, gold Victoriana, ruched boot covers, mustard velvet, antique gold fringe, wizard and fairywear and of course Gold and Braid. Total Stevie Realness (All Periods).

As we prepare for a truly magical night, we are humbled by the very special joy and tremendous support that you bring to NOTS every year. We'll be writing again very soon with updated performer and DJ information. Special love to all of our friends from the Stevie websites and other online outposts for the Gypsies That Remain. Forward and post freely, and we look forward to twirling in the gold dust with you on May 6.

And The Love Remains -
