I don't post that often anymore, but I had to take a moment and say thank U! You are an intelligent, positive dude who really expresses his love for Prince and his music in a thoughtful manner. U are a great example of how Prince DOES listen and care about his fans (or fams!) and how we are all in this journey together. U handled this opportunity with grace and class. U make all of the fans look really good. Thanks for sharing your experience- God bless.

Prince Gives One Of His Fans The Experience Of A Lifetime At SXSW

by Claire Hennekam on March 19, 2013

Prince fan Jesse Jenkins had an experience he’ll never forget last weekend, after Prince arranged for him to travel to Austin to see Prince’s now infamous SXSW closing concert, after which he got to meet and embrace his favourite artist.

Jesse 'Jester' Jenkins with 3rd Eye Girl drummer, Hannah Ford.

Consistently re-affirming his status as music royalty, Prince captured the attention of the industry on Saturday night when he played a marathon concert at La Zona Rosa that finished up just after 3am.

But that’s nothing new for the Purple One, as he’s of course been capturing the hearts and minds of fans the world over for decades. One such fan is Jesse Jenkins, known online as ‘Jester’, who has a YouTube channel that he uses to review Prince albums and just share his love for his favourite artist with like-minded people.

Prince reached out to Jesse last Wednesday night through celebrity blogger Dr. Funkenberry and Spreecast host Seth Everett during a Prince webcast and chat by Prince fans that has become a weekly event since it kicked off at the start of the year. That particular chat also included an interview and impromptu performance by Prince’s former band member, André Cymone.

Despite being a dedicated fan, twenty year old Jesse had never had a chance to see Prince live. Living only a few hours’ drive from Austin, he was excited when news broke last week about Prince playing at SXSW, but with tickets to the conference being close to $1000, plus travel costs, with no guarantee of being one of the 1300 chosen to witness the concert, it was looking like it was going to be a case of so close, and yet so far, for the young Jester......

Oh sorry I didn't mean to double post. I somehow missed your earlier post #88. I'm blind...

Btw, how do you make a link clickable? Maybe explain via org note?

Hi Jester, first off I wanna say I'm so happy you got to see Prince in the flesh.

I'm so thankful that you have that need to always share the beautiful things. Reading your words and watching your videos always make me smile. I have responded to some of your past posts and you have replied so graciously. You are truly a very well spoken young man, and I, myself appreciate it so very much....You deserve everything you get.........so keep giving the love out, because I know that I so much rejoice in receiving it....and may Prince always be here to help spread the love to all of us.......chriss...

No prob. I just thought your link was a new vid. .

Ok, off-topic just for a min: Anyway, you do this only for youtube links that are 'allowable' on this site, according to the site's rules:

For youtube links do this, but don't put spaces between link:

[youtube]enter your link in the middle no spaces[/youtube]

thanks eyejester7 for the recaps & details, u really are a cute big ray of sunshine x

Thanks to the mod who made this thread a sticky.

Awesome!!

I hadn't seen his reaction to the news before - it's so great how he jumps out of his chair!

Now, it'd be nice if the Le Petit Prince creator got a ticket to see Prince in the Pacific Northwest - I believe he lives in Seattle? That'd be interesting! and really cool.

Better get used to that grin Jess. It's bound to be stuck on for a least a couple of weeks.

Like Annie, I was on a high at my first P gig. I can still get a buzz thinking back. To have met him too? Well, must've been a blast. Goes to show how decent he can be, inviting you out and all. Blinding touch and not something he had to do. Gave me a smile. Good luck to ya.

P.S. Not bad live is he?

Congrats!! Eyejester7 I am so happy for you!
