This has been confirmed today by Tangerine17 at hq:

http://www.housequake.com...adid=73174

His post states:

"Another great night, this time filled with actual news. Super Bowl confirmed. New U.S. Tour confirmed. Get your credit cards ready after the super bowl...tour starts 2/2007. That's it for now. I'm thinking I might lay low for a while."

Given that Tangerine17 has an absolutely reliable story concerning Prince announcements, it seems absolutely trustful to me.

Crumbs and mice
Have a tenuous past
Fill his belly
How long does last?

AND THE POST I STARTED 8/8/2006 -dont be mad graycap
http://www.prince.org/msg/12/198400

the 2007 tour only makes marketing since

does anyone know why T17 left HQ?

txladykat said:

I don't know, but I wonder if he got scolded for leaking all of the info that he did. Maybe Prince knew all along and I'm wrong. But, it does seem strange that he all of a sudden left. His profile and all of his posts have been removed from HQ as well.

Here's some speculation:

From Maceo's Mailer www.maceo.com:

"For European fans and friends watch out for some exciting new stuff which will
be happening in the New Year."

From Candy Dulfer's Website www.candydulfer.nl

"Candy will appear on the "All Star Smooth Jazz Cruise 2007"
Jan. 28 - Feb. 4, 2007 Galveston (TX)
Montego Bay Jamaica
Grand Cayman Cayman Islands
Cozumel Mexico"

Interesting date to return from the cruise - ie. Superbowl day - Coincidence or.....

It means this:

My name is Graycap,
And I can't spell "tenuous".

What does a peon do 2 get noticed
If everyone in the room is sleep?
Riding my jock is really old news
So close your eyes and take a peek

The race is on it seems from all sides
Which one will lose or win?
If u r the source of Prince news?
Tell me………..who is PRINCE again?

The desperation is starting 2 set in
From angles meant NOT 2 be
4 there r sources of ill will
Keeping u slaved while the rest run free

Some have a DESIRE 2 be in the know
That condition is grave
The truth would set your soul free
But your mind will remain a slave

Curse me now it seems your fate
4 u have no idea the cause
There he is just a watching
Eye wonder if u knew
Would u pause?

Chaka Kahn ( if the vocals are right) i hope it runs 3 hours for 100.00

remember. . graycap has not been correct at all since he has posted insider information. I thnk someone is playing a cruel joke on him and he is going to see it soon. this person that is giving him the information must be found correct or incorrect with him soon. . Gray take a thrashing everytime he has posted something and i know he has to be tired of it. . i think he will wise up soon. and this insider person talking to gray should already know what the tour consists of already! prince is very thorough with tour prep and Gray should know what it consists of. . if the person he is taking to has told him and then it does not happen. . that should be his sign. . SIGN O THE TIMES MESS WITH YOUR MIND HURRY BEFORE IT'S TO LATE. .

love2thenines2003 said:

To give Graycap his due - he's consistent in his wrongness. And pseudo-cryptic vagueness. Prince should technically start his tour in February 2007, post-Superbowl, but we will see if he really does ....

Not bad Graycap, you take a licking but keep on ticking, way to go,

Wouldn't be surprised if that was true, because if was getting that info from someone in Prince's camp who is suppose to keep info confidential but doesn't, then I could understand if it happened that way, but you have to admit he was giving out some pretty good info. I think too many people here are trying to give away info like they know Prince personally, well with the exception of graycap, because graycap seems to be on point about how Prince changes his mind constantly or may decide to do something at the last minute, which is probably the reason fans here are jumping all over gray when something he states that Prince is planning to do doesn't happen. Now if gray suddenly disappears from the sites like Tangerine, then we'll know why, just my opinion.

KevinB said:

That's nothing to do with Prince - 100%

hokie1 said:

I think it had more to do with some of the members over there. From what I remember of T17s posts saying he was leaving it seemed to be more because of the way certain people were acting when he would post stuff. It was very vague to me...I think a lot of it went on behind the scenes in private messages. Sucks though because his info was very reliable...

all in perspective....doesn't matter to me if he is right or wrong, i like reading his poetry
