My experience in Minnesota and Touring Paisley Park! Oct12th-16th, 2016 To whom it may concern, If I've uploaded any videos that's not allowed on here please inbox me and I'll edit this and take it down, thank you. <3
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) 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 https://youtu.be/175qCXVHBhQ
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.

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. 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. You and me are like two ships passing
