First, my English is not well

I live in Cupertino,CA.

And I bought 3 VIP tickets for 14th 15th 17th New Jersey concert.

I'm gonna book a round trip flight ticket and a cheep Motel near by the IZOD center and stay in New Jersey for 5 days to see Prince's concert.

I watched the video about Prince announces the tour, And He said "bring foot spray, because it's gonna be funky!"

What is that mean? I never use foot spray before.

ps, I'm unbelievable exciting right now Never seen Prince before!

Thanks a lot~

I'm under 21, Is there have any problem about the aftershows ?

Would I Be Allowed To Join the aftershows ?

And how much is the aftershows ticket cost ?

Sorry about the stupid questions But I really don't no.

Even though I will be nowhere near these concerts as I'm a Brit and a student ...

just for a little help, the aftershows usually have an age restriction of 18/ possibly 21 in US (like alcohol)

and you might find they could either be a 3 figure sum (more than likely)

or....

like 21 nights in London, he might keep prices reasonably close to the minimum side like $30/40??

Anyways I envy the hell out of you! But you'll have a great time! Hope this helps

Thanks~
I'm 19.

So aftershow will charge again ?

when should people buy the after show ticket ? after the concert ?

aiden said:

It depends. Most aftershows once announced (normally night if concert) just get to the venue straight after the main show, join the queue and pay at the door. In London you could buy the tickets before and he wasn't 100% guaranteed to show up. For the 21 nights in London he showed up to play at 14 the rest were just the NPG house band with special guests. Aftershow concerts can start between 12pm-4am and Prince can play for 45 mins - 5 hours.

Prince is such a mechanical musician, doesn't know what is tire mean.

When Prince says "bring your foot spray" because it (the show) is going to "get funky," that refers to feet getting "funky" after they get dirty and sweaty--like when someone dances or runs. That kind of "funky" is different from music "funky" which is considered good R&B music. People use foot spray such as Dr. Scholl's when their feet get "funky" or sweaty and smelly. Prince was making a joke about bringing foot spray to the concert because the music would be so "funky" that you would need foot spray to get the other kind of "funky" off your feet!

3 figures? not guaranteed to give show up? wtf? prince is gonna make me homeless and get my car repossessed. thats insane.

LMAO!!! My mom told me the same thing!! She was like, are you gonna be able to afford your rent and bills for January after spending so much to see Prince in Denmark, now NJ. I didn't answer...

I am gonna plan on the aftershows, I sure hope he shows up and make it worth the extra cash!! And the standing in line in the cold, which is what I'm sure will happen!

Foot spray, deodorant, any anti-bacterial cream just doesn't get the funk out of your body.....

Wikipedia:

The word funk basically refers to a strong, generally offensive odor. The anthropologist/art historian Robert Farris Thompson, in his work Flash Of The Spirit: African & Afro-American Art & Philosophy, funky has its semantic roots in the Kikongo word "lu-fuki", which means "bad body odor". He says: "Both jazzmen and Bakongo use funky and lu-fuki to praise persons for the integrity of their art, for having 'worked out' to achieve their aims.... This Kongo sign of exertion is identified with the irradiation of positive energy of a person. Hence 'funk' in American jazz parlance can mean earthiness, a return to fundamentals."^[2]. African-American jazz musicians originally applied the term to music with a slow, mellow groove, then later with a hard-driving, insistent rhythm, as it implies a bodily or carnal quality. This early form of the music set the pattern for later musicians.^[3]

The music was slow, sexy, loose, riff-oriented and danceable. Funky typically described these qualities rather than a distinct genre. In early jam sessions, musicians would encourage one another to "get down" by telling one another, "Now, put some stank on it!". It is possible that Funk was a term derived from a blend of the Kikongo term lu-Fuki (conservated by the Afroamerican community) and the English term stank and stinky. At least as early as 1907, jazz songs carried titles such as Buddy Bolden's "Funky Butt."^[4] As late as the 1950s and early 1960s, when "funk" and "funky" were used increasingly in the context of Soul music, the terms still were considered indelicate and inappropriate for use in polite company. According to one source, New Orleans-born drummer Earl Palmer "was the first to use the word 'funky' to explain to other musicians that their music should be made more syncopated and danceable."^[5]

Prince should bring his own Funk Footspray on the market.....

Prince made the "Bring foot spray" phrase famous. Ever since Prince made that statement, several pics of Prince at the Apollo theatre press conference pops up, with that statement under it

In stead of launching the next boring "super star fragrance" parfume line, Prince is so much cooler. He launches the Purple Funky Footspray.

Would be hilarious if he would do a whole campaign on his footspray, including the whole celebrity fragrance media campaign!

In stead of marketing his tour, he's going to market his footspray. Can we buy his footspray in stead of t-shirts?
