was most people there 10 hours early? Even for vip seats?

Girl, I thought about you all day Sunday (especially when I saw that there were 90-minute flight delays out of O'Hare that morning). I'm so glad it was all you hoped -- and incredibly envious that I wasn't there with all of you.

I am planning on the 19th and 20th HOPEFULLY!!!! How do most women dress? Im so excited!! I bought a nice dress!

Prince saw to it that there was no countdown at midnight.

Forgive me if my brain is a little foggy but last night's setlist consisted of:

3121
Girls and Boys
Purple Rain (I can't stand this song but this version almost made me cry)
If I Was Your Girlfriend
Shhh
Gotta Broken Heart Again
Joy In Repetition
Pass The Peas
Musicology (sounded wonderful!!!!)
Lolita
Black Sweat
New Prince protege Shelby doing Love Changes and Never Loved A Man (The Way That I Loved You)
Medley of Partyman/What Have You Done For Me Lately

Someone else can fill everyone in on the aftershow. At that point, it was all a blur.

I may be missing something but I am running on 6 hours of sleep in two days.

I was fortunate enough to see both of the Vegas shows this past May. I enjoyed last night's show way more than both of them. 3121 sounded great to me. Everything just sounded better like there has been the opportunity to flesh out the songs more. Cora kicked major ass during Shhh.

The best thing about Prince music is the feeling it gives you that everything is gonna be alright. There is only one word to describe how I felt last night and that is JOY. Prince's playing during Puprle Rain, JIR and during the aftershow was superb. Not only that, but I had the opportunity to spend some quality time with members of my NPGMC and Org families. The fact that Prince has brought some many people together is a testament to the power of his music.

Everyone should try to get to 3121. It was worth every penny.

When you get the opportunity, go. He had something for everyone, new fans and old. Gotta Broken Heart again was killer.

I also forgot to mention he did Cream and a kickass version of Satisfied.

I can't get over the sense of peace and calm I feel when I am around Prince.

and




I know EXACTLY what you mean. It's a wonderful feeling!

Thank you so much for taking the time to tell us how the night went. I hope you've had a chance to catch up on your sleep.

Serge, thanks for those pictures. Prince looked...

According to this article (linked from 3121.com),Prince did a cover of Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You" at around 2am. Was that while folks were waiting to get into the afterparty? Did you see it? That is news to me.

I forgot to ask -- how many gum wrappers and receipts did you use to jot down that setlist?

Ivy did he walk up to you, and say "You have a beautiful smile"?

Cuz if he didn't he sure missed out!

Genesia said:

Not a one. That first list was from memory and on six hours of sleep in two days.

Stymie said:

Darn! I had a mental picture of you sittin' in the aftershow...organizin' your papers while hobbitches served you pancakes.

People were dressed any way they wanted but most of us were dressed up.

I wanna thank Altavista over at Housequake for correcting me on Shelby. She's not a Prince protege. I knew I had heard a voice like hers before.

Currently on location shooting publicity shots for a new singer he is working with, Prince will be back in Vegas to ring in the new year at 3121.

i just wanna say Ivy you are so flipping cool i luvs ya chicka.

I always look forward to partying on New years and counting down to midnight. I'm so glad I didn't go that weekend when Prince took the opportunity to charge new year prices and didn't have even a count down at midnight.

My favorite song, of course Joy In Repetition.

Actually, I dug 3121 the most.
