Don't you all remember - there was a phase when Love4oneanother.com was active, when Prince wrote to a select few people for no reason what so ever. However people caught onto this,started hoaxing and then the real Prince stopped.

I though everybody knew that,Im sure it was well known at the time

Around May of 1997, I got an Email from "NPG17Days@AOL.com". It was a paragraph/poem inviting people in the Los Angeles area to a concert he was having the following week. I remember signing up my Email and address with one of Prince's early websites he had back in 1996. Since very few others had my Email address and knew I was a Prince fan, I am pretty sure it was from Prince or his organization.

The thing was, I was online when the email came thru. It was like 12:15 am. I thought it might be wierd for employees to be sending out emails at midnight, or if they were on the east coast it would be 3am. Sooooo... I quicly added NPG17Days to my AOL "BuddyList" (which alerts you if someone on your list is currently online.) I believe that screen name was already gone by the time I read the email and changed my buddylist. So the next night, I was online from about 10pm on, and right around 12am my BuddyList showed me that NPG17Days was online. So I instant messaged, expecting it to be blocked. But it went thru.

All I wrote was "hello".

It took about 3 or 4 minutes before a "hello" was sent back.

I wrote back saying that "I got your email, but unfortunately I'm working in New Mexico right now, and wont be back in L.A. for a few weeks, so I wont make the concert this time."

After about 5 minutes a reply came back "There's a NEW Mexico?" (a joke).

I asked "Is this who I think it is?" and got no answer for about 5 minutes, so I sent "A friend?" (P was constantly talking about calling his fans "friends" instead, at the time.)

I got an immediate response "Friend, now there's a wonderful sound."

I asked "Are you working on something this late or just surfing". 5 minutes pass

I get back "Surfing".

Then I get back something to the effect of "I have 2 go, I need to talk to someone who just came online" (those werent the exact words, except the "I have 2 go" which was the first time in the conversation he used a "2" instead of a "to")

He logged on with the NPG17Days screen name a few more times that week, always late at night. I never instand messaged him again, I didn't want to bug him, and he seemed to not want to admit straight out it was him. After that week, I never saw that screen name on again. A month later, I checked the AOL members and that name was deleted/no longer in use.

I saved the email and the AOL chat log, I dont know where they are now though. Somewhere around here. I sent a copy of the concert invite email to the "Uptown" news website. They said that I was the only one who reported the email and they weren't sure if it was legit.

Anyways. Was it Prince? Maybe, maybe not. I kind of think it was. The only link to my AOL email and Prince was the sign up on his 1996 official website.

well IMO Prince is certainly "talking" to some of us, and I bet he get's a kick out of us not knowing.

We should all get together and sign a petition for Prince to come back.
Yes, that's it!

no, not really -- i never signed no contract

but i've come to find that the problem with being a Prince fan who might have a little inside knowledge on something is that no one's gonna believe ya anyway -- it doesn't even work with my best friends who would otherwise believe me. no matter. i know.

edit: see? now i sound prideful. just can't win.

Snap said:

I have found Snap true on most things

Snap said:

so like..I'm thinking...so what! so what if anyone believes you....post it!

Remember when everyone thought henna2000@aol.com was Mayte?...

I've orgnoted with most of the org Prince impersonators over the years, out of curiosity. The more they say, the more obvious they're full of shit. But FUN.

this ocnversation's too good!!!

don't stop talking now.

keep going. it's fun

klhk:

i'm sorry but the ramblings of your email poems sound like a high school kid impersonating Prince. Very "I am sam, Sam I am". He is more original and talented than that!

ive always wondered if P visits this site and reads all the stuff. i wud love 2 get secret e-mails from him lol if only! all i get is letters from friends with dolphins on them. strange ppl

MidnightFunk said:

Oh god I hope and pray! But if I were P I would check this board out and corospond with fans. I would get a kick out of no one knowing it was me.

MidnightFunk said:

MidnightFunk you can tell us are you really Prince?

Snap said:

Blieve U Snap.....this One didn't sign no contract neither; B thinks little mann has come 2 regret that perhaps U should do like B & take a righteous Friend along 4 an adventure N royalmadnesty...that was my move back '98...it really pissed Prince off tho'....it was the year earned the un-official title of 'Sound check gyrl'

Anxiety, u should know feel U....let's C if B can say something that won't get swiped off...Prince has Been fiddlin' with computers since 1990 waitin' 4 other folks 2 get on-line (remember the nterview with Larry & Chaka where he talked about it?) so yeah ThomasBjj, your experience doesn't sound far off; he gave B that 'its justa Friend' thang on the phone: responding 2 that 1st note 12/84~sounds like his vibe...klhk, nteresting stuff But much 2 literally thought out from my view; P seems 2B n a perpetual hurry all the time: brief, quirky responses were more his style; never going Byond Prince speak or concerns about correct spelling...yeah PurpleMusiq8; com4table is P's vibe...& co-sign the enabling Jon: we must remember the little man's narcissism....he's definately lookin' 4 thangs 2 do @ odd hours...

4 any o' ya'll....emails that contained lines/phrases B4 they came out n released product would B the best indication if it was really Prince....(got a pretty Big file of stuff myownself )....& yes, he do B here/hear i ain't gonna mention no screen name (truly more than 1)....would give the former screen name from an address he cancelled after emailed somethin' that pissed him off only....wanna C if this one rides sans editing....
