Not a quick solution, but one that might work.

Play an instrument, and move to Minneapolis. Play with every and any musician you can, preferably something pop/funk/soul/jazz. Make a ton of connections in the local music scene, including club owners, other musicians, music/entertainment journalists, etc.

At some point he'll either wander into a club where you're playing, or you'll know someone who can get you backstage or in a VIP area with him.

A second route:

Have something he might want:

A guy I worked with was in concert production in Minneapolis. His specialty was lasers for concerts and corporate events. (The rest of this is 2nd hand from him.) For years, he badgered Prince's revolving management to at least take a meeting with him. One day out of the blue they called and said they wanted a meeting. He goes to PP, and sits in a conference room waiting for someone to come in and let him do his presentation. Eventually, managers and others, along with Prince enter the room. Prince says "Hello, how are you." Then they all sit quietly and watch the presentation. Prince doesn't say another word. Presentation over, dude leaves, never hears anything from them again. Through the grapevine, he hears Prince does his own effects and staging in house.

Thats a good story.

If we're to believe Ke$ha, then it's not too hard to.

I reckon if you do the following:

1) phone PP 20 to 30 times a day.
2) hang around the PP gates every day from 4am to 11pm taking photos with a telescopic lense.

3) leave CD-R's of your own recordings on the doorstep every other day.

4) follow him closeley every time he drives out somewhere

5) scream things like "I love you and want your babies!" at him at the top of your voice from the front row at every concert.

6) leave sand dollars on the stage for him.

7) send 4 or 5 gift wrapped presents a week such as photos of your naked self kissing life-size cardboard cut outs of him.

8) Dress as a poor caricature of him and pretend to be him every single minute of the day.

8) write about him on the org in an unhealthily sychophantic way without correct punctuation and capitalisation of words AND refer to him using an incorrect name.

I reckon if you conduct yourself in that manner for 3 or 4 years, then you may well get to meet Prince, if not him personaly then at least one of his lawyers or body guards.

does he ever carry any money around? Does he have a wallet? Does he even have pockets?

LOL no

That's what his minders are for...

pasquerto said:

I operate under the assumption that:

He flies private

Probably isn't taking trips to Wal-Mart on his own

Doesnt do meet and greets

Doesn't sign autographs

So....how could anyone ever have a real conversation with this man unless you are in his inner circle?

Have any orgers had a chat with Prince....ever?

I think the most likely way of meeting is to visit Paisley Park when he is doing something from what I read he sometimes mingles around. Guess its where he feels comfortable.


I dont think he signs anything these days so unlikley you will ever see him doing a signing anywhere, would be far too much chance of him being asked awkward questions.

What chance does a 19 yr old Northern lass with an unhealthy obession for drawing him have with Prince?

When I saw him live I kept making awkward eye contact with him all like ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I bet he was wondering why the bloody hell the small goth child kept screaming 'starfish and coffee!!' at every interval between songs at him

Honestly, he's been doing this so long, I reckon he totally blocks it all out. You shoulda waved a tape-recorder around and he would have stopped the show to deal with you as a bootlegger.

I should have tbh. I should of brought a really old '80s/'90s one too to take the piss :')

I've only ever met Prince twice as a fan. All other occasions have been professional.

I guess for most people you just have to be in the right place at the right time.

The first time I met him I was blown away! Really star-struck and like most people I was genuinely shocked at how small he is. He isn't just small, he's really small. Everything is in proportion but just scaled down!

Well, if you're below the age of 18, you could always send him a video of yourself belly dancing.

He's petite.

In the not too distant past, if you lived in Chanhassen it wasn't too difficult for a regular person to meet Prince - or any of his band members,or his dad, wives, etc.

*

He'd go to the Chanhassen Byerly's grocery store (so did his dad) late at night fairly frequently, and regular people had to interact with him there. He'd go out to eat in Minneapolis (he used to do so a lot anyway, I haven't heard about it for awhile) and regular people had to seat him, serve him, all that kind of thing. Years ago he'd also go to certain 'gentleman's clubs' around town, but that's a little different.

*

These days he'll go to Bunkers or other music venues but he seems to sneak in and out so stealthily and quickly it's probably not easy for the 'regular' people (i.e. employees and such) to even get a good look at him, let alone speak with him. I'd guess, anyway.

*

But here's an idea: find out if he has a regular dentist in Minneapolis. If he does, become a dental hygienist, or a dentist if you're really ambitious. Whichever you opt for, hygienist or dentist, get employed at THAT dental office, wait for Prince to come in for his regularly scheduled cleaning and checkup - just make sure you're scheduled to work that day and VOILA! Not only are you a regular person MEETING AND SPEAKING TO PRINCE, you get to stick your hands in his mouth for at least a half hour, scrape his teeth AND tell him when to rinse and spit! I think that would be a very original way to establish a relationshp with him!

*

Hope this helped.

This can't be emphasised enough, Prince is very, very small. I'm a small guy too and I was still taken back a bit.

Okay so what? Yes he's only 9 inches tall but you still listen to his music. Talk about going on about sheez.

He's not 9 inches tall. My dick is bigger than Prince. He's only 6"....on heels.

^ I just don't wanna hear about you dick, idiot..
