I met Prince this weekend!!!!! 2/11/07 Ahhhh, Yes I did!!!!! I have nothing to prove it only God knows it happend, Prince refused to take a picture with me . So here goes my story, I arrived in Vegas Friday 2/9 and made plans to attend the aftershow that night and was able to get in the main room, great show nice experience but was all the way in the back of the room so I really had no contact with Prince at all that night. When I went in November I got a tambourine from him at the 3121 club during the concert and he also looked at me while singing Shhh, so of course now that I go back I expect more this time, selfish of me I know. So on Saturday 2/10 I had bought tickets to see the main show and we did, my boyfriend went with me, again a great show but no contact at all during the show with Prince, he grabbed girls hands around me even took a girl up on stage that I had been talking to before the show, she was the tall beautiful girl that shook it like no other, she was great. So I leave the show a little disappointed that there was no contact between me and Prince like the last time. So I was planning on not attending the aftershow that night but my boyfriend says we are here we might as well go, so we head towards the 3121 restaurant and there is a huge line of course. So my boyfriend is not feeling well and we sit at the bar that is near the restaurant and wait to see if the line dies down, it's almost three and the line is barely moving. Renato was at the bar also don't know if anyone else saw him but he was with some blond girl making out like no other, thought that was a little unprofessional on his part but whatever. So since we had already been to the aftershow Friday I knew that there was a lot of windows in the room where Prince performs so I tell my boyfriend why don't we go outside the casino and see if we can see anything from the outside. So we head out and what a relief to breath some fresh air without the smell of cigarette smoke. So we look in from the windows and of course it's hard to see anything since it is so dark inside, we noticed the band was playing so I figured Prince was already in there, so a little down I tell my boyfriend let's just keep walking (there was some what looked like shops ahead) and see what is up ahead. Here comes the good part, we are walking and all of a sudden we see 2 SUV's coming towards us at full speed I felt like they were going to run us over so I tell my boyfriend get out of the way!!!! Well we keep walking and out of the first SUV passenger side out comes Prince in a cream colored suit with cold circles on the collar. I got so nervous to see him that I almost ran the other way, my boyfriend tells me get over here what are you doing all the way over there. So Prince is about to go up the first step when I yell "Prince, wait please please please please don't leave" and he turns back and starts walking towards me, Oh my God I thought I was going to fall over from how nervous I was So I go towards him and have my arms open to give him a hug and he puts out his hand to give me a hand shake I wanted a hug, my boyfriend also shakes his and we say nice to meet you. Then my boyfriend tells Prince that I love Prince more than I love him I could not believe he had just said that I wanted to go and hide. Prince just gave us an embarrassed smile, so cute. He then told us we should not adore him but adore GOD. He asked if we read the bible, I said yes, then asked if we went to church or if we went somewhere to study the bible? I told him no, that everything I know about the bible was from reading it myself. So then he goes on to say that I should go to Kingdom Hall, I told him I had no idea what that was and he went on to say that this was where he was taught the bible in the simplest way. So I say ok, was not sure what to say to that. Then my boyfriend asks if he could please take a picture with me and he of course says “NO” , we say thank you and with that he turns around goes up the steps and leaves into the restaurant. My boyfriend and I start walking back towards the casino but not before once again peeking into the restaurant to see if we could see Prince and we notice that he is at a table where Shelby was seated and he is there talking to her. I think someone here mentioned that they were at that table.
So that is my great story of meeting Prince and getting to talk to him even if it was for just a few minutes. As we were walking back into the casino my boyfriend and I just starred at each like did that just really happen? I don’t know what I have done to deserve all this good fortune but I must say GOD has really blessed me and I can only imagine what else he has in store for me. There was so much more I thought of afterwards that I wanted to ask Prince but of course at the moment I just forget everything. Even my boyfriend was kicking himself afterwards and said why didn’t we ask if he could get us into the aftershow, could of happened for us but we didn’t think about it at the moment. And for those of you who have smelled him, well I got to smell him too, he must put whatever scent he puts on all over his body because just from the hand shake he left his scent on us, I went to sleep smelling my hand . A scent I cannot even describe, it’s not masculine it’s not feminine it’s very unique. He is also shorter than I expected, I am only 5’4” and Prince was at least 1”-2” shorter than me and his body is tiny too, but he is still sooooo sexy!!!!! Please leave your comments and thoughts on my wonderful experience, I love reading the posts here.

:screams:
Omg... that's so cool. All of that just seems so typical of him, just as I imagined. "Don't adore me, adore God"... I could totally see him saying that... So what he refused to have his picture taken... Oh man, I just can't get over all that. It's like everything I thought he was and more... had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |

Great story- good for you!!!!! Thanks for sharing!
I also went outside to check things out from those windows the weekend I was there...I thought about walking farther back but didn't, DAMN! The smell, OMG! Isn't it great? I was convinced it was the incense- I've been burning it at home and it really does seep into things including clothes. Maybe he just wears a similar scent in a lotion or something...? I know that high, excited feeling you're talking about- it lasts a long time Ask where they're going, they'll tell U – "Nowhere"

Thank you so much for sharing that veronikka!
Just reading that gave me a real feeling that I was meeting him too. You are real LUCKY..... Man..you think he is small to you, I am a nearly 6 foot blonde, I would probably scare him off. Too bad he would not take a picture with you.... Did you wash your hand yet?!?!?!?!?! [Edited 2/13/07 14:42pm] | |

I know that high, excited feeling you're talking about- it lasts a long time We just needed some fresh air and thats why we kept walking, it was just being in the right place at the right time. I hope I din't ruin it for Prince and now he has to find another place to get in from, I totally thought that he had some way of getting from the club to the restaurant but it doesn't look that way. I also wanted to buy some incense but when all this happened and we went back to the store and it was already closed This is the 2nd time and I still haven't been able to buy that incense.

I overheard that he drives over from his suite/condo which is part of the Rio property. When he comes from the club itself, he enters a different way I believe. My guess would be that when you saw him, he had just "gone home" to change clothes. yeah, I'm addicted to that damn incense now and only bought 2 packages. I need some more!!! but it is so strong, I'm "conservation" burning it now, just a little of a stick at a time. For anyone who wants stuff- be aware the boutique is only open when the club is. Ask where they're going, they'll tell U – "Nowhere"

Whoa!!! I was on the edge of my chair when I read that!!! It brought back memories of that scent. I got to dance with him in Knoxville during the Musicology Tour. I know how you feel about wanting to scream. I was trying to play it all kewl, but wanted to explode inside. What nice man.
I'll be there Saturday. Give me the lowdown. What is a good time to get to the Main Venue. Should I get there like 2 hours ahead of time to get a good spot. How does the standing room only work? So, although you pay $50 for the aftershow, you still have to wait in line? I am sooo excited. No one at work is gonna be able to stand me when I get back. | |

Yes, I am pretty sure he just went to change because I was at the main show that night and he was not wearing that. I was wondering if he even lived at the Rio, so I guess he does.

Wow, good for you! That was a fun story. When I met him we just made small talk with him...we didn't get deep or anything, but it was .
One of these days one of us will have to explain to him that admiration ain't the same as worship. I nominate you Veronikka. Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

He probably wants to look good in every picture he takes and he can't guarantee that if some random person takes it. Rhythm floods my heart♥The melody it feeds my soul | |

Because he would get mobbed. If he started doing that, every place he went would be a mob scene. Plus, with him being so diminutive, it's for safety reasons, too. I don't blame him one bit. | |

Not to mention people would probably (try to) sell the pics of him on ebay or wherever. I think that is one of the big reasons he doesn't sign autographs. The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |
