MONTREUX MEET-UP Hello Purple Party People,
We've never done this before but we think it might be nice to have a Prince.org-meet-up in Montreux. If someone with some experience at this could take it from here, we'd be grateful and will totally be involved ! Who, where, when, what, ... ? Let's get it going people ! Bart & Rick from Belgium (from here on R&B) | |

I am coming all the way from Australia and would love to meet up with fellow fans, otherwise to quote a Prince track, for me 'It's Gonna Be Lonely'.
I am in! Getting very excited!!!! I have waited and saved money for 6 years since seeing Prince in Sydney in 2003, cannot wait! Put me down on the list for the meetup please. Cheers and thanks. | |

Like I told u guys before, I've never done anything like this, but I'll just share my thoughts...
One question first though : does anybody know if u're allowed into the Music & Convention Centre without actually going to any concert in one of their halls ? If so : it would be cool to meet-up right there. But I'd prefer on Friday, since Saturday I'm kind of busy... Maybe just meeting up there in the late afternoon, then having dinner all together somewhere in the area (I read somewhere there are good and affordable restaurants around the train station) ? If so : I'm pretty sure a reservation might be in order, depending on the amount of Orgers of course... Like I said : I'm just sharing thoughts here. I'll gladly hand this whole thing over to a more experienced fan ! Bart | |

Bart yes, you are, no problem. in the lower level (vis-a-vis from the entry to the Miles Davis Hall) there's a bar with happy hour from 18-20. cheers rouge | |

Miles Davis Hall (bar somewhere in there) at 6.00 Friday just that there is no misunderstanding: the bar is not in the Miles Davis Hall but vis a vis from the entry to the Miles Davis Hall. Nevertheless the Bar is in the Convention Center. have fun rouge | |

Cool! So it's at 6pm at the Bar opposite MD Hall. Is anyone else giong to the Jeff Beck gig that night? And if not, then you are definitely missing out, he and his band are amazing, one of the best live shows I have ever seen.
So, do I just look for all the purple people? I will be in my 3121 shirt. | |

yeah should be fun trying to work out who's the Prince fans
will be there at 6-8 What is Happy hour? does that mean beers are reasonabley priced? if so how much? | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
I'll be there Sat morning.. if that is any good... Shut up already, damn. | |

I have a very simple idea, everyone meeting up from the org can roll up their sleeve on their shirt on one side (regardless if you are wearing a short or long sleeve). Easy. Hahaha, the Prince cult.
Anyway, as far as lining up for the show I would guess and say that going there at 3 or 4 pm at the earliest would suffice. What do you guys all think? | |

london1 said: What is Happy hour? does that mean beers are reasonabley priced? if so how much? This means, you get two beers for the price of one. One beer costs 4 CHF and it's 25 cl (don't know how much this is in pint, maybe less then the half of a pint....) Here's a picture of the Bar: http://rouge.hopto.org/Im...009086.jpg The Entry of the Miles Davis Hall is about 10 meters in my back. [Edited 7/13/09 5:16am] | |

What do you guys all think? @ least U didn't suggest scrawling "prince.org" on th side o our faces I'll be wearing a Prince related T. Figured it'd B easy 2 spot. We cud meet up 4 (L8) lunch on Sat & then we can go on & Q. Confirm with other orgers on Fri. 4 days & counting. | |
