To all that may need a room for the day/night, Chanhassen has sold out Hotel/Motel rooms because there's a Religious Convention in town, but we were out last night and came across a new Holiday Inn right down the rode from Paisley Park and They have 30 rooms available and here is the info:

Holiday Inn Express - 7855 Century Blvd.-Chanhassen, MN 55317 952-401-8850

So much for that... ... I was so geared up to go, mentally prepared to fly from London to MSP and back within 36 hours, had everything sorted out from tix to PP, rental car and all the rest of it... and then Delta had an overbooking situation due to half-term holidays around here, and we (as staff from another airline) were of course the first ones to get ticked off the list...

Anyway, for all of you lucky ones that can make it: enjoy the night, I'm sure it'll be great! And I really really really hope there'll be another celebration at PP soon

So door tickets go on sale at 7 pm? Does that mean we have to start lining up that early to get a good spot even if we already have tickets? Sheesh

In my opinion, there's not a "bad" spot in the place. Unless anything has significantly changed, the room is big enough and the stage high enough that there are good sight-lines from everywhere. That is, unless you're pushed up against someone in front who's way taller than you.

I spent every night at the last celebration in the back half of the room, if not the outright back of the crowd and I could always see everything, the sound was great, had plenty of room to dance and didn't have to worry about anyone crowding me.

Do you think people will line up really early? Are there people there NOW?

Finally got my email confirmation from LOTUS, halfway through my flight to Minni! FINALLY, geez!

I believe the articles I read specified that he would be performing?

So did I, even got three copies... almost feels like salt in my wounds...

Anyway, thanks all for your nice comments, I also keep on telling myself there will be another time (there has to be,pleeeaase!!).

Else, - I'm counting on some REALLY REALLY detailed reports coming through after the jam

Do you think we will be able park there when we are just picking up the tickets and will we be able to leave and come back later ?

Got this from Star Tribune.

i'd laugh if prince didn't even perform!! lol

The Minneapolis rock star, who has been seen around town more frequently in recent months after making Los Angeles his home for the past few years, announced that he will stage one of his now-rare late-night shows tonight at Paisley Park, his recording studio and home in Chanhassen.

He and his band will perform at 11 p.m. today, according to an e-mail sent to music critics late Friday afternoon.
