AT LAST! Greetings from downtown New York City to our beloved Gypsies, and all who have joined our newsletter since last year's NOTS. This year is a special one for us, as Night of 1000 Stevies is on the EDGE OF SEVENTEEN! Such an auspicious number demanded a gigantic celebration and show this year, and a Main Room even larger than our previous venues. It took a while, but we have finally found a new venue for the show - the HIRO BALLROOM at THE MARITIME HOTEL, and booked a date. This year's show NOTS 17: EDGE OF SEVENTEEN will be held on Friday, May 11, and tickets will go on sale by March 11. We appreciate your patience during our long search, and are happy to finally have news.

Check out our new venue here

Our next mail will have lots more details, including confirmed performers, more about the theme, and hotel information. We wanted to simply get the date out today so you can begin to make plans, and will be back in touch well before the box office opens on March 11. News will also be available on the ENCHANTED GYPSIES forum on THE MOTHERBOARDS NYC.

A NOTE TO PERFORMERS:

All performers who have played at NOTS in the past will receive a separate email in the next few days with special instructions for this year's show. If your email has changed, let us know!

If you are a new performer who would like to apply to perform this year and you've already contacted us, you will also receive email in the next few days with details. If you are a new performer who hasn't written to us yet, do so now at events@jackiefactory.com.

Tickets $25 (plus Box Office charges)
Box Office opens March 11 - we'll email you as soon as it does

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 seventeen 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.

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. Special greetings 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 with you, like a White Winged Dove, on May 11.

On the Edge of Seventeen -

Ooh this is such good news

I CANT WAIT to see every one may 11

Hi! Last year was my first time going, and I had so much fun! I'm just wondering... is it still going to be the same sort of set up as last year? Like... having a dancing area and a seperate performance area? I really liked having the option to move around. Plus where else am I gonna get an all Fleetwood/Stevie dancefloor?

Thanks. I'm really excited for this year!!!

Hi Vanchoc-

Welcome to the Motherboards, and we are excited to be starting production on this year's show.

We chose the Hiro Ballroom because it can hold many more people in one big room than any of our previous venues, with great visibility of the stage from everywhere. There are several seating areas/lounges to take a break, but everything is on one floor. The all-Stevie/Fleetwood dancefloor will take place before, between and after the show sets - which will be slightly shorter this year.

We participated in a large show there last Fall for Animal Rescue which featured the Beastie Boys and several other big acts, so we got to see it on a marathon night. It should accomodate NOTS beautifully!

We'll see you on May 11 for a twirl..

It's REALLY going to be different this year.
We are taking her up a notch or two.
"17" is a big Stevie number (obviously) and we want to shake things up a bit.
It's still going to be "All Stevie, All Night Madness" but on a much bigger scale.
Just like Stevie, we are not afraid to reach for those high notes.

I LIKE that it will be all in one room this year! Other years, people missed performers (including myself) because there was so much going on and so many rooms to explore...Liked the knitting factory-but too many stairs (in platform boots- such a drag...pun intended). I am very excited just looking at the venue picture. Looks so classy! What does the dressing area look like...we'll talk about that later I guess
Much Love-Amber

It's been hard for us.
On one hand, we knew that Don Hill's and The Knitting Factory were really too small for NOTS (as was Mother really) but at the same time we didn't want her to lose that special feeling by getting too big.
One year we almost moved her to Irving Plaza but changed our minds in the Nick (...pun also intended) of time.
We have been stumped every year on where to have it. (Madison Square Garden?)
I think The Hiro Ballroom will be a good new step. It will be bigger but hopefully will retain the magic.
I know a lot of people will say, "I liked it better when two thousand people were crammed into a room that holds two hundred".
That used to scare the hell out of ME!

Yes- a packed house like last year was a bit overwhelming. I like a little room to breath and dance. I miss the old days when this event was small but @ the same time embrace its popularity. Glad that you all work so hard in finding places for us semi-crazy Stevie fans to go and have fun. Everyone will have an opinion on any venue, I just look forward to going every year and could care less where in the city it is. Good memories made in every club! ~Amber

I'm sure that no matter the venue, as long as the legends come out the magic will be intact.

Look! A rose between two thorns.

Lose?
Lose Loyale don't rook so good.
I know she no spling chicken but she no rook so good!
Not good pictule of Lose Loyale.

Oh Yoko, You so kooky. That is a picture of Holiday Special with Flawless Sabrina on the left and Jayne County on the right.

Hi everyone. I'm Joel. I was the DJ in the lounge last year. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. The dancefloor was packed by the time I got done.

I am disappointed that I won't be spinning this year, but am very much looking forward to NOTS 17 regardless.

I'm coming from Harrisburg Pa. We're staying at the Hotel Chelsea on 23rd in the Village. Looks like a pretty cool spot, with alot of history.

Hi Joel-

Your great support of the event in so many ways over the years is much appreciated! And you have picked one of the BEST and most unique hotels in New York IMHO - I used to live there in the Mudd Club era. And you can walk to the show..unless you're in platforms.

And yes, we are all missing that second DJ setup this year..but who knows? we may find a place for it in future years.

Looking forward to seeing you again on May 11..

You're very sweet to respond so quickly and kindly.

Thanks so much. (I think we have 10 or 12 in our group this year)

Joel

Hey everyone. Im super excited for this years show. Last year's event was so outrageous, I cant even imagine how incredible it will be at this new larger venue.

Ive been asked to post one of the pictures we took at NOTS16. Some folks came up to my "Lindsey" and I, and said "Be Lindsey and Stevie for a picture!" So naturally, we started to fight I made a sort of onstage/backstage collage.



Here is a link to one of our photo sets.

OK, it's official.
This year's invite cover girl is our own little Jessica Rabbit Domination (aka Heather Litteer).
