anyway, me and jimmy were gettin our grub on and one of the men who worked at the panda comes over to us and asked, "you guys here for prince?" we're like "yeah", and jimmy asks the guy about a few things--including if he knew where prince lived. the guy's like "oh sure, i'll tell you..." he goes over and grabs a map and proceeded to give jimmy directions to prince's house. so after we were done eatin and paid n'stuff, we hopped in the rental car and drove off in search of ol' boy's place of residence.



o-tay, now on to the show: they played the video for "call my name" before they went on with the hall of fame intro (alicia keys givin the induction speech n'all). it was somewhat reminiscent of the "u make my sun shine" video (i.e. prince on a spinning platform-thing...he seems to be enamoured with rotating floors all the sudden). it wasn't much, from what i remember. after that, ol' boy came out and started kickin everybody in the xcel's boo-tay.



--durin the acoustic set (which was, without a doubt, the best part of the concert, imo) ol' boy had mentioned about somethin--i forgot what it was--and folks started booing at what he said. he goes, "oop, wait, wait--are those boos?!" everybody in the place started laughin and whatever.

-- a bit after ol' boy went through that "i ain't got no booty!" spiel, chance howard (that big mofo who usually sings "soul man" at one point in the show) goes and starts shakin his ass--big puddin was groovin, too! i was like, "go 'head!!!!"

...almost forgot to mention: ol' boy wore all red durin the acoustic set. *dies*

If you call Prince "ol' boy" one more time, I think I'll SCREAM! I feel like I'm reading CJ'S column with that tired "Symbolina" reference. Please! Expand your mind.....and your vocabulary. I'm begging!

Sounds like a good time...
