What a Night.
My head won't stop twirling.

This from The Merlinator:

Thank you for NOTS 15!
What a wonderful night.

OMG!

Mother Cody Ravioli and her hotsie-totsie-Joe-Dellasando-look-a-like-son Sid brought the house down. They lip-synched "Leather and Lace". The cutest moment was when Cody, who had obviously been rehersing and schooling her little boy in the high art of lipping, was watching over him on stage like a...
well, like a mother.
Sid kept looking into his Mom's eyes, singing to her with love. Cody kept turning him around reminding him that he was on stage in front of like 700 people and should look at the audience a little.
It was like a mother lion teaching her little cub to kill.
It was gorgeous!
There wasn't a dry eye in the place.

Jackie Family Values

It was a real moment. Sid was cheered on by Aunt Diandra, Aunt Tobell, Aunt Connie, Aunt Sweetie and all his aunts from Lucky Chengs. Even his cousin Andy X-tacy was there from LA.

The Ho Hos doing "Gold Dust Woman" was hot.
They always bring it but this year was their best I think. The little video clip of Fleetwood and Stevie passed out backstage was hysterical.

I am very happy with last night because it was so "Old School". Even though NOTS seems to get bigger and bigger every year, NOTS 15 was really like the old Jackie ones. So many familiar faces, not just on stage (Sherry Vine, Dean Johnson, Sister Cody) but the audience was very "Jackie".
And more people were done this year than ever. They were having fun with Stevie and it showed.
I loved this '80's Stevie.

The audience was very Jackie Family...
Two performances that made my cry: Sister Codie & Sid, and Dirty Martini's Ballet...
I couldn't really see all of the Ho Ho's performance from sidestage but I knew it was brilliant because it was totally NUTS! Crowds of people charging on and off stage into a 6 foot square space!
Many brilliant first timers too including our Velocity and Brooke from Maryville TN.

Now i must go and rest again. Since I am older than Daddy, it takes me a bit longer to recover

I agree Hatch,
Dirty really took Stevie to a new place. She must have worked really hard on that piece.

Dirty Martini

It was My 2nd NOTS! What I really like about NOTS is that audience are as fabulous as the performers on the stage. Their dress are amazing, and they really know how to enjoy that party. It was so-- Jackie Party!!! Thank you all
-Starting with Michael M, Mother Flawless Sabrina and David!

Debbie---!!!

SO-- Golden Chi Chi & Dean Nicks (Johnson)

My favorite girl since C&D party.. Miss Sasha

incredible - bizarre - totally memorable... NOTS15 was quite an experience... I only saw set III - it was astonishing the level of performance - from the mulitmedia ho-hos (so much fuckin drama!), st. eve's brilliant DVD Stevie homage (loved it when lindsay's face popped up every time she sang 'players only love you when their playin'), to the stevie nicks experience - and johnny tingle's "chain" was off the hook - really tight and fabulous... the whole set was so fierce - it took me to the next level

Give to me your leather -- Take from me... my lace

The Raviolis were amazing.

the feeling remains

-Thanxxx Hatches, my goodness I was thrilled to pop my "Stevie-cherry"
I got to catch the masters in full Stevie glory, just loved St. Eve's
remix, Belladonna's Mirror, Ho' Ho's wack attack.....way too many to
mention.
Can't wait til next years enchantment!

John and I had a fantabulous time! Many thanks to all who made this very special Night possible. I'm still vibrating from Gypsy Wild's otherworldly "I Can't Wait" - I swear you're a Stevie channel, Teri, you're definitely tapped into the energy! And Billy O, I'm so glad I caught your beautiful heartfelt performance in the lounge. Hugs! We took a few pictures of some of the performers (yeah, and ourselves and our friends and the crowd too)...

Unfortunately a lot of our pictures didn't come out. If anyone got a good photo of the gorgeous Chi Chi on stage and wouldn't mind sharing please contact me atcatanna@optonline.net I'd also love to see Debbie on stage and well OK, any good shots that anybody got of anybody! We were trolling the rooms in search of friends for part of the second set and then had to leave early so we missed a LOT but from the pre-show chat n dance at 9:30 til we left a little after 1 was total bliss. Even just walking through that sea of Stevie fans was pure joy. Thank you everybody!

CatAnna (& John)
