That is gorgeous! I love paintings/drawings in that style. Wonderful job guys!

Freakin' Deadheads!!!

Well, at least we all know Mama Tried!!!

GORGY!!!!

Ruling as always Hons.

Aw thanks Hons.

I too will miss the 2nd room and the lounge, especially DJ Joel who was AWESOME last year. BUT, and that's a big but, I'm glad we're moving from KF cuz it was really too small.

Am CRUSHED to hear you considered Irving and chose not to (because I work there). My biased opinion is that it would be a gorgeous venue for NOTS in the future. Still, Hiro looks fab and am looking forward to my favorite night of the year.

You have to book it like 3 years in advance.

AZO - Thanks man. Looking forward to seeing you. I think we have like 14 or 15 coming this yr. I think I'll still bring my Buckingham/Nicks disc in case its not there for some "Frozen Love."

Hi All,

I am just so excited about Hiro. At first I was like "sell out!" but then I thought about how cramped the Knitting Factory had become and I'm really gagging for the new location. I think the beauty of the place will add a great deal to the atmosphere of the evening.

Over the years I have brought friends who are gay, straight, male, female, Stevie fans and people who didn't event know who Stevie was (yes they do exist!) - and every single one of them has always had the best time of their lives EVER in NYC - and they always come back!

I'm giving my tambourine a makeover and counting the days!

Hi AnthoNYC

Thanks for posting this - it gives us energy and inspiration to live up to those amazing expectations. That kind of mix is what we LIVE for!

As for Hiro, it is really about the comfort of the guests and performers, first and foremost.
Knitting Factory was a great home for the show but we had outgrown it. And with a show this long-running and anticipated, you can not just keep repeating what worked in the past.

That said, thanks for your lovely post, and we look forward to twirling with you May 11.

Thanks Chi Chi, "I Can't Wait" for the night!

I couldn't be happier that we are performing at Hiro. Does that mean that NOTS has "sold out"? You're damned right! Every single year, kids! I remember how cramped that Don Hill's was. I also remember watching The Knitting Factory grow cramped over the past few years as well. And while I am all for a full house, I have swallowed enough baby's breath to choke a horse while being slapped in the head by a sea of twirling shawls. I applaude Chi-Chi and the NOTS producers for once again bringing this event up a notch in fabulosity. Truth be told, I'd be happy to experience this evening in a cat box, if it came to that. But I couldn't be more excited about this year's digs and line-up.

Thanks to each of you for being a part of something so special to me.

ME TOO!!!!!

This year will without a doubt be different.
I know a lot of people will look back with nostalgia on the over crowded days of choking on baby's breath and tambourines but this really is a step up.

Okay, so I am finishing up a little NOTS shopping while looking for the right boots. I have a large hoof, so it is never easy. I always end up having to wear stripper boots to achieve anything close to Stevie's platform heel. Then...lo and behold: There it is! The perfect boot. (Well, almost.) As my luck would have it, nobody carries it in my size. And a drag queen (like a hooker or a magician) never reveals her tricks.

Having said that, I'm gonna let all you "less ample" b*itches" in on the secret: Look up a boot classified as "Akademiks Women's Northeastern". It's almost perfection and I know that while many of us are striving for "Stevie realness", it can often be difficult to find what was more en vogue a "few" years back.

I know this is one of the gayest posts ever, but it seemed worth mentioning to me.

Love ya', mean it.

Your Favorite Demi-Blonde,

The Divine Grace

Grace, you are truly Divine to give up a secret like that!
I guess the good vibes and love are staring early this year.

I hope all you Less Ample Bitches appreciate this good will gesture.

Thanks for the boots link Grace! Heres 2 other Stevie like boots that I found.

I have a pair of these boots in black and they really do look like Stevie's. I was quite impressed with the accuracy, but sadly mine are just slightly too big!

Here's another one I found today....

Oh, fond memories of my early boot days at NOTS - running up and down stairs at MOTHER in platforms like this - or worse - stiletto granny boots. Ouch!

I promise you all much less foot damage due to the fab new layout - dressing room just one small flight of stairs directly under stage. And thanks for sharing all these great boot tips..

Funny piece in vh1 blog today

Very funny, here it is.

Stevie to Linds: Actually, DO Stop

Stevie Fleetwood Mac fox and original California bad girl Stevie Nicks has slammed rumors of Lindsay Lohan playing her in a biopic about the singer's life. In an interview in this month's Blender magazine, the Gold Dust Woman addresses a question about La Lohan's aspirations: "Lindsay Lohan thinks she is going to play me! But what the hell movie does she think she's talking about? There is no book, there is no screenplay, there is no movie. There is never going to be a movie made without me, because it's never going to be the story of me....So good luck, Lindsay."

The tartlet has never been shy about her Nicks obsession, covering "Edge of Seventeen" on her A Little More Personal album.

Tough break, Linds. Might we suggest Night of a Thousand Stevies ?
