I called to make reservations at AmericaInn in Channahassen today 02/06/03 Thursday and the clerk 'Connie' Confirmed that management there have the dates June 18th through June 28th marked for Fans to make reservations for the Prince Celebration event this year. This apparently confirmed by Paisley Park although she did not say anything when I asked her if so. So the Celebration is somewhere inbetween those dates. The Chanhassen Inn was all booked up already. But the AmericaInn still have rooms available to reserve. Good luck Rainbow Children. PeaceNBWILD!

i hope so ... prince where r u

Wow...that is new news indeed, I'm happy that I booked my hotel 4 almost the whole month of June. So just as long as the Celly will be held in June I should have a bed close 2 Paisley...

This apparently confirmed by Paisley Park although she did not say




is there hope ??? come on prince

Well, if it is up to the 28th that would put Glastonbury pretty much out of the question, unless he decides to fly over on the afternoon of the 29th for his set later on...we'll see!

I booked in December when I saw the dates circled in June in the All Access calendar. The dates are the 19th to the 22nd.

Everybody Pray...

you people are going to be so disappointed when there is no celebration

Looks like the only one with "dissing" is you!

What happened 2 the 19th-22nd?

But hey...where were you in 2002 ??
Already booked for a whole month, you must be out of your mind.

2003 will NEVER be like the 2002 Celebration...you missed it

I'm just so glad my sister lives around the corner from the studio...no hotel needed...no stress...schedule it when you want.

2002 Celebration will never be like Euro aftershows either -so who cares...

Wake up and take a much needed european shower. Aint no euro aftershow better than a celebration - the biggest event of the year for PRince. That why it was droves of smellt europeans at the celebration making it unbearable in the studio sessions. Americans that were there know what I am taking about!

just musical results - that's all...no doubt the celly is a Prince event and more spectacular! so chill

nunatak said:

My point was it does not matter if this is your first Celebration, nothing more than that. The Euro aftershows smoked the Celebration musically but maybe not in "Joyous Event" category. I hear ya though - the Celebration is the big event!

My Name Is Face And I Am Stupid.

Grow up kid, get your kicks elsewhere...

That's not of ur concern where I was in 2002, have fun living in the past dude!!! I rather look forward 2 what this years Celebration might b, but it seems u already know stating that it won't b as good as last year. Well...maybe u should stay at home then and play ur Xenophobia 2002 cd's...
And it's 4 me 2 decide when and where I'll book hotel rooms...my vacation lasts longer then the Celebration itself..
BTW: it seems 2 b more of a problem 4 u then it is 4 me that I didn't attend a Celebration yet...get a life...since I'm not worried about it. I might have had better things 2 do at that time...

serpan99 said:

He Serpan,

No hard feelings !!! To me it seems strange to book a hotel for a month, when there's not even 1 official notice about it. It might be at Target Center, and that's far away from Paisley Park.
I am not living in the past, I am looking forward as well, allthough I won't be going if it will be at Target !!

So we have some Yanks here dissing the Europeans over last years celebration, Mmmm I've heard enough US bootlegs with absolutely cringy Americans on to last me a lifetime..you know the ones...Prince could call you all a bunch of plebs and you would still scream your lungs out just to get a little bit of attention back..SAD SAD SAD!!!

Nothing wrong with booking a hotel - even a year in advance (you can alays cancel). It's all about doing what you want with a positive attitude and Serpan99 has exactly that! It doesn't matter if you have seen Prince once or 100 times, it's your cool attitude that makes the whole thing work. Look how Prince himself welcomes new folks at his concerts (ya ya aside from the $). I know Serpan99 is a cool cat and long time Prince fam.

btw everyone -
just saw P singing little Red Corvette in a new Corvette commercial!!!

nunatak said:

It seems I have a fan...lol Thanks 4 the kind words nunatak, as long as there's a sign above the door that says "Celebration 2003" we'll b there !! Whatever venue it may b...

True enough SP! Hartelijk Danke. PB

the 18th through the 28th, that's ten days...that dont sound right.

10 days seems about as Shady as Eminem 4 the Celebration 2 go on 4 so long. Does N E one know why the 19-22 of June is circled N the NPG Calendar? Something must b going on then somewhere...

Duhhh...people do u have brains? I said somewhere INBETWEEN those dates...June 18th through June 28th. Prince has not yet decides what dates inbetween them yet. So management has given that leway for us to make our reservations. DUHHH
I presume that the Celebration will be like the 19th through the 24th or 25th for 6 or 7 days somewhere in between the 18th and 28th somewhere anyway...

lol...U all r crazy up n this mug!!!

I just made my reservations for the AmericInn June 20 - 27. I have a feeling it will be from Friday Thru Thursday like last year. The guy at AmericInn said the dates they received from Paisley were June 18 - 28. Now, how about Prince announcing this to us say on his first anniversary February 14.
