My experience in Minnesota and Touring Paisley Park! Oct12th-16th, 2016

On Oct 13, 14 and 15th i had the pleasure of touring Prince’s home Paisley Park Studios Park in Chanhassen Minnesota. I asked several friends and family members would they like 2 come with me 2 Minnesota. Some couldn't make it because they had 2 work, i didn't give them enough notice and other’s couldn’t afford it. When something has 2 be done you have 2 do it even if it means you have 2 travel alone. I receive some discouraging comment’s like how could i travel so far alone. I thought 2 myself... Because I’m a grown women! lol 1f642.png

I move 2 California in 2011 only knowing one persons and realizing i really didn’t know her at all. So there i was in this big city for 4 years alone! You can’t go through life waiting for someone 2 hold your hand every where you go or you'll miss out! One of Prince Quotes is “ COOL MEANS BEING ALBLE 2 HANG WITH YOURSELF”
(Less drama and i enjoyed the experience of meeting people who love Prince and his music as much as i do) Before i left 2 go 2 Minnesota on Oct12 ,2016 some gave their personal opinions such as I’m idolizing Prince and they hoped when i return home he’ll be out of my system. If i listened 2 these negative comments you wouldn't see me in his home standing next 2 his Piano & Guitar, LOL. 1f642.pngsmile You have 2 learn 2 take a chance in life even if you stand alone! The one's who's doing the judging remember you'll be judged!


Prince music has touched so many people's heart’s all over the world. It's a Prince thing that some will never understand!


On Wednesday when i arrived Minneapolis 10/12/16 Michelle picked me up from the airport. So many people in the airport were wearing Purple. I checked the internet 2 find out some of the Prince event's that was going on Minnesota. The first day that i arrived i met some of Prince fam. at the movie theater. We laugh and cried together as we watched “ Under The Cherry Moon & Sign O’ The Time.

Prince hated the word fan's he called us his family, the rainbow children! Thursday10/13/16 I had the pleasure of touring Paisley Park for the first time in Chanhassen, Minnesota. Words can’t describe how beautiful Prince’s home is. As you enter each room you feel him, his energy the music and love that he put into creating Paisley Park! It was so hard 2 hold back the tears at times for so many personal reason’s. My dream is 2 visit Paisley Park again with my mother and children. The lady that was touring us asked me what was one of my favorite Prince songs? i wanted 2 say” Sea Of Everything” i decided not 2 because many people haven't heard this song because his cd 20TEN wasn't realease in the United States so i yelled ‘’ The Beautiful Ones” The lady that toured our group through Paisley Park told us that our group would be called “ The Beautiful Ones” As i enter each room i Reminisce on how "All good things never last " Prince has gone 2 soon! (Tears) 1f641.pngsad Later on that night All of the purple family gather together at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, MN. 2 celebrate Prince’s Legacy. Prince’s sister Tyka Nelson called the night a memorial for fans. ( Prince Purple Family) New Power Generation led by Morris Hayes, and members of 3rdEyeGirl, Mayte, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Shelby J, Morris Daye And The Time, Juith Hill Mint Condition and so many more entertainers express their love for Prince and his music. As they performed it was about Prince and not themselves. As one of the bands performed ''Sometimes It Snows In April" i notice a lady sitting beside me wiping her tears. I put my arms around her. It's so hard 2 listen 2 this song because this is when Prince left us in April. 6/7/1958 - 4/21/2016

That night Dove's were really crying 1f641.png
Before the concert end everyone held up their lighters screaming Purple Rain, Purple Rain!
All of the performers stood on stage together and held hands as we listened 2 Prince sing Purple Rain. Michelle and i couldn't do anything but cry and hug each other.
1f641.pngsad This is a moment that I'll never forget and i was so blessed 2 be a part of this event.
The 5 hour Prince Memorial was all about the love so many felt for Prince.

CAN'T BELIVE I WAS HERE!!!

The after party was Awesome, we got 2 see how Prince really partied. Concert then the after parties.It was a pleasure meeting Michelle one of Prince fans. (family) we were together everyday. She told me it felt like we've know each other for ten years. it was a pleasure 2 meet so many who has performed in Prince bands in the past at the after party. Juith Hill and Shelby J was also at the after party. I was happy 2 see Sueann Carwell one of Prince original female singers who i met through my Uncle George Clinton when i lived in California. Sueann has performed with my uncle in concerts also.

https://youtu.be/175qCXVHBhQ

Sueann Carwell Screen Test

I was so excited 2 meet some of the band members who once performed with Prince. i gave some of them my cd and they promised they would listen 2 it. i didn't get 2 meet Shelby J or Judith Hill but i gave out extra cds and ask would they give them a copy. I also gave Kirk a cd at Paisly park after he talked 2 our group. i don't know why i was so nervous, lol i met him in the studio A or studio B rooms, i can't remember. I hope they'll appreciate my lyrics '' AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN OLD SKOOL PARTY " It's spoken words that i wrote about Prince four years ago. i don't know why i never mailed it 2 Paisley Park. i guess i thought i still had time, i never thought Prince would leave us any time soon.


I've exchange phone numbers with so many of my Purple family. We plan on meeting together for the next Prince event. On Friday 14th & Saturday Oct 15th Michelle and i toured Paisley Park for the 3rd and last time before returning home. We purchase the v.i.p tour that included having this picture taken. We also ate one of Prince's vegan meals, the food was so delicious. After the tour Michelle and i went 2 the Kingdom Hall that Prince use 2 attend that's around the corner from Paisley Park. We talked 2 one of the elders who told us Prince once was in their congregation before he started going 2 Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in St. Louis Park in Minneapolis. We wanted 2 find out the time of service because we planned on going 2 the meeting on Sunday.


https://youtu.be/aNJ1s_5PB0U

After we left the Kingdom Hall we went 2 Purple Rain house in Minneapolis. ( The house that the movie Purple Rain was filmed ) There we met some more of Prince fams. We planned on going 2 the Kingdom Hall on Oct 16th before returning home. Because of an unfortunate situation we couldn't make it.
Through all the tears when asked why did God take Prince away i tried 2 comfort Michelle by letting her know that God didn't take Prince away from us and we'll see Prince again in Paradise! Once i returned home and got off of the plane the tears began 2 fall. 1f641.pngsad This was such a beautiful time that i spent in Minnesota, i guess you can say this is closure for all of the Prince fam. That traveled 2 Minnesota from all over the world. This occasion was about love. When one man died the whole world cried! Since I’ve returned home I’ve talked on the phone 2 some of the Purple Family that i met in Minnesota. I have so many personal reason why Prince leaving us hurts so bad that i keep deep inside. Prince thank you for the music,and bringing so many people together. You taught us that love comes from the heart, you've have always brought all people together. That night proved that through your music you've taught us through Jehovah God, The Christ And Music Which Is A Universal Language we're Able 2 Love And Come Together As One!

Hopefully one day this won't hurt so bad!
Thought you would alway's be here, Gone 2 Soon! 1f641.pngsad



Looking forward 2 seeing you again in Paradise. As i look at this picture that was taken in his home I'll try not 2 hold on 2 the pain, I'll hold on 2 the memories of touring Paisley Park It was a dream come true! We'll always love you Prince. Looking forward 2 Seeing you again in Paradise, In The Purple Rain Then we'll sing '' One Song''

Love this song by George Benson And Celine Dion

This experience has taught me that when something has 2 be done you do it! I just had 2 be there because Prince's music has had such a effect on my journey life. How many of us has been hurt by the " The Beautiful One's " some one that we ''Adore'' If you're not one of the Purple Rainbow children you'll never understand. You'll never get it, IT'S A PRINCE THING THAT YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND. 1f642.pngsmile It has nothing 2 do with idolizing it's about Prince's music, in his lyrics he spoke real talk! Prince has taught me 2 " Free Myself " From all of the negativity.
He proved that people really can change if you have a
Spiritual Relationship with our heavenly creator. Those who was with Prince in the beginning could see that he was a changed person. Hopefully as we get older and mature we'll make changes in our lives 2 become better, wiser and a spiritual person. It will never be another Prince, he'll be in our children history books. One of my Grandchildren told me that her chorus teacher are teaching them about Prince the artist and they're learning some of his songs. We'll alway's love you and I'm so honor that i had a part of celebrating Prince life & Legacy. Looking forward 2 meeting you in Paradise in
the Purple Rain!

So glad i was here at the 5 hour long musical tribute to Prince at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, October 13th, 2016. Performed by members of the NPG, Stevie Wonder, and other musical guests. This has been one of my favorite vacations in life, it was a experience that I'll always remember. Going 2 Minnesota and returning home every time i seen someone in purple or with a Prince shirt on we would ask are you going 2 or coming from the Prince Tribute. Then we would hug each other like we've know each other all of our lives. Prince would be so happy 2 see how much he was really loved. This was my beautiful experience in Minnesota and Touring Paisley Park on Oct12th-16th, 2016. Thank you Prince, your music has helped me get through this thing called life! Since I've returned home i can't stop crying, maybe this was 2 much for me actually going in his home. I asked a friend once what would i do if Prince died and i was told he might what will you do? My friend from afar you know who you are, you never told me that it would hurt this bad, I feel so guilty because I've never cried this much for anyone who's died. God has revealed so much 2 me that i keep quite about but i still feel so sad. No more concerts, No more videos, No more seeing Prince face on my television screen, No more Prince. My dreams almost came true meeting Prince but unfortunately things didn't work out. I pray that Jehovah God & the Christ stop these tears from flowing!

I move 2 California in 2011 only knowing one persons and realizing i really didn’t know her at all. You can’t go through life waiting for someone 2 hold your hand every where you go or you'll miss out! One of Prince Quotes is “ COOL MEANS BEING ALBLE 2 HANG WITH YOURSELF” ( less drama and i enjoyed the experience of meeting people who love Prince and his music as much as i do) Before i left 2 go 2 Minnesota on Oct12 ,2016 some gave their personal opinions such as I’m idolizing Prince and they hoped when i return home he’ll be out of my system. If i listened 2 these negative comments you wouldn't see me in his home standing next 2 his Piano & Guitar, LOL. You have 2 learn 2 take a chance in life even if you stand alone! The one's who's doing the judging remember you'll be judged! Prince music has touched so many people's heart’s all over the world. It's a Prince thing that some will never understand! On Wednesday when i arrived Minneapolis 10/12/16 Michelle picked me up from the airport. So many people in the airport was wearing Purple. i met some of Prince fam. We laugh and cried together as we watched “ Under The Cherry Moon & Sign O’ The Time. Prince hated the word fan's he called us his family, the rainbow children! Thursday10/13/16 I had the pleasure of touring Paisley Park for the first time in Chanhassen, Minnesota. Words can’t describe how beautiful Prince’s home is. As you enter each room you feel him, his energy the music and love that he put into creating Paisley Park! It was hard 2 hold back the tears at times for so many personal reason’s. My dream is 2 visit Paisley Park again with my mother and children. The lady that was touring us asked me what was one of my favorite Prince songs? i wanted 2 say” Sea Of Everything” i decided not 2 because many people haven't heard this song because his cd 2010 was never realeased in the United States so i yelled ‘’ The Beautiful Ones” The lady that toured our group through Paisley Park told us that our group would be called “ The Beautiful Ones” As i enter each room i Reminisce on how "All good things never last " Prince has gone 2 soon! (Tears) Later on that night All of the purple family gather together at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, MN. 2 celebrate Prince’s Legacy. Prince’s sister Tyka Nelson called the night a memorial for fans. ( Prince Purple Family) New Power Generation led by Morris Hayes, and members of 3rdEyeGirl, Mayte, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Shelby J, Morris Daye And The Time, Juith Hill Mint Condition and so many more entertainers express their love for Prince and his music. As they performed it was about Prince and not themselves. As one of the bands performed ''Sometimes It Snows In April" i notice a lady sitting next 2 me wiping her tears. I put my arms around her. It's so hard 2 listen 2 this song because this is when Prince left us in April.(4/21/16)
The 5 hour Prince Memorial was all about the love so many felt for Prince.
The after party was Awesome, we got 2 see how Prince really partied. Concert then the after parties.It was a pleasure meeting Michelle one of Prince fans. (family) we were together everyday. She told me it felt like we've know each other for ten years. it was a pleasure 2 meet so many who has performed in Prince bands in the past. Juith Hill and Shelby were at the after party. I was happy 2 see Susan Carwell one of Prince original female singers who i met through my uncle George Clinton when i lived in Cali. Susan has performed with my uncle in concerts also. https://youtu.be/175qCXVHBhQ
I've exchange phone numbers with so many of my purple family. We plan on meeting together for the next Prince event. On Friday 14th & Saturday Oct 15th Michelle and i toured Paisley Park for the 3rd time before returning home. We ate one of Prince's vegan meals, the food was so delicious. After the toured Michelle and i went 2 the Kingdom Hall that Prince use 2 attend that's around the corner from Paisley Park. We talked 2 one of the elders who told us Prince once was in their congregation before he started going 2 Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in St. Louis Park in Minneapolis. We wanted 2 find out times of service because we planned on going 2 the meeting on Sunday. After we left the Kingdom Hall we went 2 Purple Rain house in Minneapolis. ( The house that the movie Purple Rain was filmed ) There we met some more of Prince fams. We planned on going 2 the Kingdom Hall on Oct 16th before returning home. Because of an unfortunate situation we couldn't make it. https://youtu.be/aNJ1s_5PB0U
Through all the tears when asked why did God take Prince away i tried 2 comfort Michelle by letting her know that we'll see Prince again in Paradise! Once i returned home and got off of the plane the tears began 2 fall. This was such a beautiful time that i spent in Minnesota, i guess you can say this is closure for all of the Prince fam. That traveled 2 Minnesota. Since I’ve returned home I’ve talked on the phone 2 some of the Purple Family that i met in Minnesota. I have so many personal reason why Prince leaving us hurts so bad that i keep deep inside. Prince thank you for the music, and bringing so many people together. You taught us that love comes from the heart, you've have always brought all people together. Through your music you taught us through Jehovah God, The Christ And Music Which Is A Universal Language we're Able 2 Love! Hopefully one day this won't hurt so bad! sad
Looking forward 2 seeing you again in Paradise. As i look at this picture that was taken in his home I'll try not 2 hold on 2 the pain, I'll hold on 2 the memories of touring Paisley Park. We'll always love you Prince. Looking forward 2 Seeing you again in Paradise, In The Purple Rain Then we'll sing '' One Song''

sad sad heart fit

P.S I forgot 2 mention that when i toured Paisley Park i was able 2 give Kirk Prince dancer my cd. When i was at the after party i gave Susan Carwell & some of the musicians that once performed with Prince my cd and I asked one of the band members 2 please give Shelby a copy of my cd. Hopefully I'll hear from one of them.

I'm trying 2 post my picture that i had taken at Paisley

The hardest part of the tour for me was when i first walked in his home because a picture of only Prince's eyes are staring at you. I don't know why but it felt like he were watching me. biggrin The room that he had his parties in made me cry. I planned on going 2 one of his concerts last year but it was cold so decide not 2 go. I didn't want 2 be Minn while it was cold trying 2 find his home. If i could turn back the hands of time. sad
