I'm not even going to try and say how brilliant the aftershow and concert was....words will simply not do it justice.

A BIG thanks to all the Orgers who I met and who made the night extra special. Every single Orger I met was so friendly; truly the best crowd of folks I've met! Special shouts to:-

Sharon (was great catching up before the show during the day), Elaine, Linda, LordMarcusMont (a scholar and a gentleman, and well done for the t-shirts, they were amazing!), Dr.Funk (representing the Welsh-Prince-Massive), Domebaby69 and your brother (who was the coolest dressed fan there by far!), SquirrelMeat, the two Irish guys with the cardboard blue symbol, O2 Review, Glynn, Cherryroom and your partner in crime (hope you got your bag back), Dan (cheers for the drink in Raan...so pleased you got an aftershow ticket to!!).....and lastly the Orger who I was stood with for the whole aftershow whose Org name I really can't remember, was there with his mate Luke and Max I believe, we were stood over on the left of the stage...was an awesome Aftershow!!

Hope to catch up with you all again!!!!!

I didn't get to meet any of the ORG-ers, but I want to say a massive thanks to every single ORG-er out there. Like many others out there, I guess I could claim to be a casual Prince fan. Since Prince annouced the 21 night tour, I searched high & low for a truly cool fan site & this is it! I just wish I got involved earlier! Thanks to everyone who's contributed something (especially the folks with the fantastic memories who whipped up the set lists pretty much straight away after the gigs). With your help, I've got some kick ass playlists on my ipod that remind me of the amazing concerts I went to this summer.
Thank you so much!

LOTS OF LOVE 2 ALL OF U

Hi, was great meeting all you guys too!! Thanks to Howard (security) for getting us into the O2 so promptly! Linda

DAVE T!! Thankyou 2 u 2. It was great meeting everyone!! I just got back home..last night was so amazing. My bag is till lost and my phone I'm gutted but it's my own fault.. I found my shoes tho! I feel so ill today, I'm suffering big time!!

Hi Dave, was great meeting all of you yesterday and last night, was a truly amazing night and morning, i mananged to get about 2 hours sleep, but the blues R beginning to set in, reminds me of the line from a purple rain rehearsal, which goes something like "cant stop this sinking feeling"

But I think we all knew this was going to happen on the 22nd, pity we didnt have a get together today, but i guess it would have been like an irish wake and just prolonged the misery till the 23rd..

i think I will look for tickets for Take That at TM to cheer myself up

By the way, who was the orger who played air guitar in the INC Brassaire to lets go crazy, where the entire place started cheering him on?????

Whitnail said:

I was literally just thinking about him 5 minutes ago in the shower! I thought he was with your brother as he had your brother's symbol guitar. That's what he was "air guitaring" with. He was tall with dark hair and glasses and had on a black jacket and trousers and a purple shirt. He got everybody going in the inc. Brasserie and got a really loud clap and cheer when he'd finished. I thought you knew him! I was actually going to contact you and ask who he was! Ask you brother. I think he knows him!

Was fantastic to meet so many Orgers - even those I didn't actually get to speak to. The Orgers rocked the house last night. Got to watch the last half of the main show from one of the boxes and even hung out with the ex for the aftershow.

Special hi to Whitnail (and your friend with the cut-out symbol guitar), DoMeBaby69 (sorry I'd thought you were a guy!), topcat67, ritaw, syble, elained, partyman (Peter)(hope you got back to Cardiff ok today!), lovealotbare.

Cashmere27 -had a fantastic night at main and aftershow - thanks for everything!

Simon1969 - Thanks for my much improved main show ticket in the end, so that my former upper tier ticket could to another very excited fan!

Was only sorry I didn't get to meet popelife, O2Review and colinb - thanks for making the final week of the shows so special for me with your respective glowstick plan, reviews and efforts to ensure as many Orgers got to enjoy the 21st as possible.

Now it's all over, what am I going to do with my time?!

DoMeBaby69 said:

Do you mean Partyman? Not sure he has glasses though. Was def in Inc Brasserie with Whitnail and the blue symbol guitar...

DoMeBaby69 said:

LOL, great minds think alike, my brother cant remember his name, he was definately an orger though

darlingnikki78 said:

topcat67 said:

Whitnail said:

Err, I'm afraid that was me! What a fantastic night... especially finally getting my hands on an aftershow ticket at 0h30 outside the O2, after I'd given up hope!

It was really good meeting you all, I hope to see you at the Paris show that is surely coming in the next few weeks

Tiger7 said:

Whens the next meet up then?

What an amazing night! It was so great to meet everyone over the summer and especially on the final night. If I started to type names here, I'd never stop.

Thanks to everyone who had a T shirt - orgers are the most trustworthy people I know! Mine is about the be framed, together with the feather boa one of the Twinz gave me at the end (of course, her number would have been nice, but I'm not one to complain).

If the 21st show and aftershow ever come out on DVD, I'll have a party and you're all invited to relive the night!

Thanks to everyone for making it legendary, especially lbanks, who was the greatest fun I could have wished for and had my spare tickets (especially the bit when you tried to get on stage during the piano medley!!!).

So many memories, so much fun, such a brilliant summer, I'll never forget a moment of it.

LordMarcusMont said:

Lord Marcus, which stage suite were you in? Was it the one behind Maceo et all (nearest to 112/113)? Whoever was in there was having THE BEST time and I thought it might be you and your lucky winner.

LordMarcusMont said:

Thanks again for organising the tshirts. Have mine on today, it reminds me of being there. Think it'll be glued to me for a little while.

How was friday in the stage suites? Must have been brilliant. Was great in blk 110, by far the best of the 4 I made it to. Can't get him coming back and doing when you were mine out of my head...it's one of my faves and thought I had no chance of hearing it. What a night!!

missminky100 said:

I know!!!! I had a pee my pants moment at that point.

abigailj said:

It was brilliant wasn't it??!! I still can't believe it, and then to follow with girls and boys...amazing. Would loved to have heard bambi and she's always in my hair but apart from those I got to him play all the ones I love. Feel v lucky.

DoMeBaby69 said:

That was the single greatest Prince related home made item I've ever seen by the way! Thanks to Whitnail's bro for letting me have so much fun with it!

xxxDaniel

LordMarcusMont said:

Lord marcus mont I'll bring the chips.

abigailj said:

Yup, that was me - in the org T shirt, bouncing up and down for the entire time. My knees will never recover!

dfeg said:

you are welcome, we had alot of fun making it, unfortunately we didnt finish its twin for the final night in time. but i was most upset that Prince didnt get to tune it up for us

YES! THANK YOU EVERYONE!

The meeting at the Holiday Inn was a great idea and I wish we had had more time together. It was so good to be in the company of, and have conversations with people who Love Prince even more than I do. Discussing the shows with you all, and other Prince experiences was fantastic.

Maybe a bit too much actually, because when we then reached the pub and there were even more of us there, my excitement level went into overdrive and for about 10 minutes I couldn't actually lift my pint to my mouth to drink it, because my hands were starting to get a little shakey. Not a first however; I don't usually get like that until I'm in the arena and the lights have just gone down indicating the start of the show!

Rather than risk missing anyone out (as well as names I missed or have forgotton-there were alot to remember) I will do general thank yous!

To everyone that I met before the show, it was was the perfect start to the whole experience. I could have talked for hours.

"The T-shirt Man" Not only a fantastic idea, but personally an essential item to own that will not only be a symbol of being at the last show, but also for meeting the other Org'ers.

I'd like to thank everyone that I (and my sister) managed to obtain tickets for, as all your kind words of gratitude (and beer) was, and still is greatly appreciated.

To everyone in inc Brasserie, it was fantastic and definately beat standing in a queue for an hour. The Guitar solo gets a special mention.

At the aftershow there were too many good moments to mention, but the guys by the side to the right of the stage, dancing with you was great. You're both well funky. The music is in you!

Lastly, and while now blushing, a big THANK YOU to everyone who complemented me on my outfit, and also on my tattoos, especially those who have posted their comments on the threads for all to see. You are all too kind and I feel good!!!

As amazing as the main show was and the fantastic aftershow, it was without a doubt made even better knowing that there were so many Org'ers there too. And considering how many I had either met, or was introduced to, EVERYONE was instantly friendly and a joy to meet.

Hoping that there will be another get together!

I wish U Love!
