NOTS 16: ENCHANTED IN WONDERLAND
THE JACKIE FACTORY's sixteenth annual STEVIE NICKS extravaganza NIGHT OF A THOUSAND STEVIES was be held on Friday, May 19 at THE KNITTING FACTORY NYC,
scene of the past two editions. Born at tiny JACKIE 60 in 1990 with four extraordinary performers, the night has grown to include countless interpretations
from all over the White Winged World. The 2006 theme wass STEVIE IN WONDERLAND, an homage to her "Red Stevie/ Stevie In Wonderland" persona,
introduced on the 1989 album THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MIRROR.
The bill for STEVIE IN WONDERLAND was jammed full, with thirty acts in three sets, including "Enchantresses of Ceremony" CHI CHI VALENTI (founder) and
BELLADONNA (Santa Barbara), event co-producer HATTIE HATHAWAY (currently appearing on Broadway in THE THREEPENNY OPERA),
founding performers JOEY ARIAS (current star of Cirque de Soleil's ZUMANITY in Las Vegas) and Homocore Icon DEAN JOHNSON. It also included
Returning Legends of Stevie Realness SWEETIE, SHERRY VINE, NICOLE NICKS, AMBER GARBO (Las Vegas), THE HO-HOS (CATHY CERVENKA and JILL PANGELLO),
TEXXX, JESSICA RABBIT DOMINATION, BILLY O, invite cover girl BROOKE (Tennessee), ST. EVE, PURPLE GYPSY, SISTER CODIE, THE DIVINE GRACE,
THE STEVIE NICKS EXPERIENCE (Des Moines), VELOCITY CHYALDD of VULGARAS, JADE BARBEE, MISTRESS MIWA (San Francisco), GYPSY WILD,
DOLLY DOMINATION and JONNY TINGLE.
Every edition of NOTS also includes dazzling debuts, and this years were Toilet Boy MISS GUY, dragstar JAZMEN FLOWERS (Jackson, Miss),
Butoh dance company VANGELINE THEATER, STARLESS SKYE, CHARLENE CORAN (Reno) and MIRROR IN THE SKY, a weekly Fleetwood Mac tribute night in Asbury Park.
After a record number of new performers applying to the show this year, greatness was expected - and served!
Legendary NOTS DJs CRAIG SPENCER and POISON EVE were back this year for the all-night Stevie/Fleetwood dancefloor that you crave.
In addition, the Lounge featured two new "Stevie Spinners", including DJ JOEL, a longtime NOTS Gypsy who played rare nuggets from 9-11.
The gifted NOTS production team once again included EDITRIX ABBY, GODDESS DIANA, DANY JOHNSON and TORIN - who made the magic happen from backstage.

Total Stevie Realness (All Periods).

THE REST
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 sixteen 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.
And The Love Remains -
