I'm wondering why spend the money to have it at the Muse and just not have it at Paisley Park from say 11pm-3am. Then again they probably making their money off of liquor sales.

I'm perfectly happy with the line-up. Are there some proteges missing? Sure? But, it is what it is. Some, like Sheila E., say that they have other obligations. Okay. Did they have these obligations BEFORE the Oct. 13 date was announced? Maybe. Maybe not. Were they ALL invited? Who knows, but I sure hope so. Bottom line: Everyone has to be led by their own moral compass.

What UTTER crap honestly.

-

$600 for the first night for VIP to see... Tyka ? ...and other 'close' (what?) family members ?

Why ?

Other nights $250 for the same VIPs ?

What aere the 'family memebers' going to do ?

Cry more for fake tears for $600 then they'll do for $250 the second and third night ?

Will the drama be less important then ?

I'm very well aware that the proceeds will help pay the estate's tax bill.

And I know the heirs arn't getting one $ of Prince's own earned hard work until all taxes and liabilities are paid.

Still it all smells, cause money is involved. Can't help but seeing it that way.

-

Now,

Where's the Revolution ?

Where's Sheila ?

Where are all the other important collaborators of Prince ?

Sure Londell McMillan is in the picture 'cause he is also the personal lawyer of Chaka and Stevie...

-

Fool yourself if you like, go and enjoy.

Danceparties ? Why ? Money ??

Has it actually been established that the proceeds of these PRNFamily dance parties will go toward the estate tax bill...or to the estate at all? If so, can you please direct us to that information? Thanks in advance.

And, I know that the fams would much prefer having it at Paisley Park. Moreover, having liquor there goes against everything Prince believed. I know, it is what it , but I'm just saying...

Looks like an opportunity for Princes family members to be paid for being Princes family members.

But as for the topic of the thread, this holds no interest for me. Put some new music out or some concert recordings for sale and I'll be super excited and celebrate that.

That can't happen until the Estate is rectified.

No the judge is allowing business transactions to take place while the Estate is being sorted out.

I believe we will get new music. Also realize the only thing really holding up the estate is the same idiots who keep filling claims that keep getting thrown out by the courts. No one with the exception of the two charities have claims that are any where close to be valid.

That is really none of your business. You either support what they are doing or you don't.

How come the family is silent about things happening at Paisley Park? Plans to build a wall. Clearing the fence of fan's tributes to Prince.

You think the family has control over whether tributes on the fence can stay up? No that's the city dictating. If you read the sign that was put up it's pretty clear the city was getting complaints about debris from the fence. The family and estate have to be careful here as the city at any time could pull the plug on PP as a museum and then what? It gets sold off to some developer so they can pay the estate taxes?

Did you read what I said? The family has hasn't said a peep, except for promoting their DANCE PARTY. You have previously said we will have to just wait and see what happens. When? Like after a wall has already been approved by the city and construction is underway?

The city council meets THIS Monday at 7 PM, to address the Paisley Park changes specifically. I haven't seen ONE fan from the Minneapolis/Chanhassen area indicate they are going to the meeting or asking the mayor/council questions. Everyone's just taking a wait and see approach?

Prince did a lot for the local area and he certainly paid a lot in property taxes as well. Assuming if the city IS pressuring Paisley Park to remove the memorials..... you think the family/estate couldn't contact Chanhassen's mayor and request, to allow memorials to remain on the fence until AFTER the upcoming tribute weekend? Seems like that would be considerate and best in terms of timing, with many fans coming to visit Paisley Park on the tribute weekend remembering Prince.

It's a two-way street between Prince's estate and the city. The city is hoping to benefit from the PP museum being there and revenue from visitors staying in hotels, going to restaurants, etc.

Ok. If you say so. But it's not right to assert that the proceeds from the dance parties will be used for estate taxes without substantiation, as did one of the earlier posts.

I'm just respectfully asking that (s)he share this information so that we will all be "well aware." Either way, the event is all set. Some might beg to differ, but I just think we need to be clear when monies are involved.

I agree. Any opposition to the fence must be proactive. I was pleased to see Londell tweet a #NoWall hashtag...but it will take much more than hashtags. I'm hopeful this is his way of signaling that he is on the case trying to prevent the building of the wall.

@PRNFamily has given Prince.org tickets to the official memorial tribute to give away to fams! Check out the "Concerts" forum for the details and good luck to everyone who wishes to be at the historical event. It's great how the family is very supportive of all of these memorial events being held in Prince's beloved Twin Cities. They are also very sweet and generous to express their love to Prince fams in this special way. #Love4oneanother

Congrats, in advance, to the winner of the two free tickets!!!

You don;t need to be clear of anything and many of the financial matters concerning the estate have been sealed by the court. Even the media can only get into the financial meetings on a case by case basis determined by the judge so why would fans be privy to any finacial matters.

P's family does not owe fams anything - you expect them to do this for you for free? Because we're fam? Sorry, but that doesn't really make us entitled to anything...it makes us lucky.

Speaking for myself, I only hope and expect Prince's family members will honor and respect Prince's music/legacy/Paisley Park, and respect his fans.

Prince's estate is dependent on fans continuing to buy Prince merchandise and visiting the Paisley Park museum. Aren't the family the ones who are LUCKY, given that they did virtually nothing? Prince is the one that rehearsed, recorded and performed his ass off for nearly 40 years. He did all that. And, oh yeah, he also provided family members with homes to live in and helped them along the way. Prince also left an estate from which the family may prosper greatly.

Does anyone know why this thread was suddenly removed from the Prince forum and relegated to a forum that is not read by as many orgers? It's also odd that there is no sticky regarding these three events being organized by Prince's family when, in fact, the Xcel memorial tribute thread has been made into 2 stickys. Odd...

I'm surprised it wasn't moved before.

Fams can express their disgust by not going to this event. That is all fams can do. This is a fact.

Fams have no right to know anything about the financial matters concerning the estate. This is a fact.

If you want to know anything take the time to look it up on the MNCourts website. All public court docs are listed right there for fams to view. This is a fact.

so r these events so fans can grieve with prince estate family membrs and former band members?

WHO /WHAT gets the money?

You can hope that, but there is nothing obligating the family to do anything with his legacy.

His estate is NOT dependent on us - they can pay their taxes, burn the contents of the vault, sell off everything to the highest bidder and go on their merry ways if they so choose. We are fortunate that so far, this doesn't seem to be the plan. However P chose to help support his family while he was alive was his choice; that doesn't make them lucky that makes them FAMILY. I'm not faulting him or them for the choices they have made. Why are people so quick to decide that this was wrong??

More importantly, how did this morph from a discussion about the after parties into a complete bashing of P's family?

Once again, you're trying to tell me what to do. Back up off me, will you? Now, I think someone just posted a never-before-seen eggplant picture of Prince on your sexuality thread. Why don't you go check on that. Whatever the case, just stay in your lane. I will say this: The courts have nothing to do with these parties, nor does the estate.
