Printable lovemachine said: Wow a million bucks for 6 songs
 People were bashing MJ in a different thread for playing a birthday party so I wonder if they will hit this thread.
Prince is sure doing a bunch of stuff this year that I never thought he would do.  "Remember, one man's filler is another man's killer" -- Haystack | |

According to this site: http://thatotherpaper.com...he_belmont I thought Prince, since he's supposed to be JW, was against celebrating birthdays, another contradiction I guess.. * "Remember, one man's filler is another man's killer" -- Haystack | |

According to this site: http://thatotherpaper.com...he_belmont Inside sources tell That Other Paper that a very, very wealthy individual has commissioned Prince to fly to Austin and regale his wife with Princey hits and over-sexified renditions of “Happy Birthday.” (Sounds like someone needs some P Control.) To ensure secrecy, he’s rented out the Belmont.
The Events & Music section of the Belmont’s website reads: The Belmont closed for Private Event 06-02-2007 The Belmont will be closed on Saturday, June 2, 2007 for a private event. We apologize for any inconvenience. I have discovered that Prince was paid $1 million to come to the Belmont and play 6 songs. Better be 6 really good songs. [Edited 6/3/07 9:17am] $1 million bucks for 6 songs, Lord how mercy, Wow.  |

AstonMartin said: 3121 Spy Report: Prince Rocks Austin
As if the Roosevelt jam wasn't hot enough, a private gig at the swanky Belmont in Austin Saturday nearly caused a block-wide meltdown! Grupo Fantasma took 2 the outdoor stage at 10pm 2 set things off. Was that Renato sitting in on keys? O yes! The groove was so funky that Prince had 2 jump in 4 a piece of it on guitar. Grupo rolled through a bunch of their own material and some covers. Every time it got funky, Prince joined them back onstage, branding the jam with some keys or guitar. By the time he had the crowd chanting "Eye like funky music", it felt just like a smokin' hot NPG aftershow. Later in the night Grupo left the stage and Prince and The NPG ran through some of his classics, starting with Little Red Corvette and sliding into everyone singing along 2 "Nothing Compares 2 U." When he left the stage, the crowd chanted, "Prince...Prince" until one by one, the musicians came back onstage 2 funk it up some mo'. The closer: a slammin' version of "Get on the Boat." U never know where this crew is going to pop up next! 1. Funky Music 2. Little Red Corvette 3. Nothing Compares 2 U 4. Get on the Boat What were the other 2 songs??? |

I just got a call from someone who's work associate was there, I asked them to pry about details.
I do know that people called their friends and told them to watch/listen from across the street. My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

i still can't believe that i was so close, and that i could've watched & listened from the street... it's funny tho because i walked by antone's which is on 5th where grupo was on the marquee, and i had a feeling that our man would pop up sometime soon, if only i knew it was that very night! all i could hear were those damn motorcycles revving thier engines lol
and apparently they also catered chinese and my sister's friend was going to be on the waitstaff but he let an actual fan take his place, how nice! they were also told not to make eye contact! [Edited 6/7/07 7:24am] | |

My theory of the no eye contact thing is that it heads off any gushing conversation and reply.... My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

and for that matter, I do that as well, if I am at working and busy thinking, or in a hurry, I purposefully don't make eye contact because it does seem to give an invitation that you are open to conversation. Imagine you are Prince (or any other celeb) and EVEYONE is waiting for a chance to tell you there story of how they discovered how talented you (the celebrity is)... ova and ova and ova again.  now I know why celebs wear dark sunglasses even at night... so they can make eye contact with people incognito.
