Hello beautiful.

I love Brett and he's not the only one who I consider a friend that's feeling that way. It's cool though. There is nothing that can kill my excitement. I'm gonna be with you.

hey honey! how's chicago?

hey, have a great time in las vegas. be sure to bet on black (29 if you want a number). its a sure thing!

sallysassalot said:

I miss you!!!

At least I'll be closer to you in a few weeks when I get to Vegas.

Romera said:

in all sincerity, i'm only salty about not going now that i know the bunch of you will be there. prince is prince and that's all well and good but i wanna chill with ivy and the renners!

sallysassalot said:

I really wish more of the crew were going.

sallysassalot said:

You could come crash at our hotel.

sallysassalot said:

Oh no, dear. Not at all. I just can't believe how overwhelmingly negative the response has been so far.

Romera said:

When's the last time you were on a roadtrip? I'm as excited about that as I am about the concerts.

GangstaFam said:

i think that is simply because the price is very exclusive. on top of that exclusive price, he has still not supported the cd in any way, shape, or form and has mentioned nothing about hitting the road.

it comes off like he's just...greedy. all his talk about money and art don't mix washes down like a glass of ripe BS. perhaps had he announced these two dates along with news of a tour the reaction would not be so overwhelmingly negative.

none of that should matter to you though! get your ass there and have a freaking blast!!!!!

sallysassalot said:

I plan on it! How far is Vegas from Frisco?

GangstaFam said:

i've never done the drive but i'd assume its about 10 hours. i figure its 6 hours to LA and vegas is about 4 hours from there. though i'd drive directly from sfo, it would probably take roughly the same time.

Romera said:

I love to too babe.

I'm not trying to rain on your parade as I'm sure you'll have an awesome time.

I'm only complaining about the price, hell, if it was in Aus I'd be there for sure.

sallysassalot said:

You should come hang with us.

GangstaFam said:

i should but i can't. no job. school debts due (for two months, anyway, lol). moving expenses. blah blah puke.

i will live vicariously through you this time!

sallysassalot said:

So sensible!

GangstaFam said:

i know, right! i'm reading this thinking, "this is not me. a pod has come and taken over!"

if it were tori i'd be on it though. know that shit.

sallysassalot said:

It's a great drive from San Francisco to Vegas, you should take a few days and visit places on the way - I did it once on holiday in the USA, went through Yosemite Park, Death Valley and then the desert to Las Vegas. Pretty cool!

sallysassalot said:

You should consider it a last hoorah of fun and foolishness before the daily grind begins for you.

THIS IS TOTALLY REDICULOUS ESPECIALLY FOR US FANS THAT ARE MEMBERS OF HIS CLUB.
WE LOVE PRINCE BUT TO GO TO VEGAS TO SEE HIS SHOW WOULD COST US MORE MONEY THEN ARE WEDDING. 31.21 WOULD DEFINALY BE WORTH IT BUT NO WAY. EVEN IF I LIVED IN VEGAS I WOULDNT GO. HES RIPPING OF HIS FANS AND FOR THOSE PURPLE TICKET WINNERS I FEEL BAD WHAT A LET DOWN!!!!

Prince is playing for free in NYC on June 16th. Go and have a great time.

I do not feel ripped off at all. I made a conscious choice to pay that much money to see him and it's worth every penny to me.

Romera said:

What?

Romera said:

I'm presuming you're referring to the Good Morning America concert series?

1. Has this been confirmed?
2. Isn't it to promote Tamar's cd? I wouldn't necessarily consider it a "Prince" performance...but maybe there'll be something else later in the evening.


PS. I'm trying not to be negative. I'm excited for everyone that gets to go, but I'm just bummed that I can't be there...and very nervous that the rest of the tix are going to be out of my price range too.


EDIT: okay so I saw the other thread--looks like it's confirmed to me.
[Edited 5/11/06 10:09am]

i hadn't even heard of this until my hairdresser mentioned this to me yesterday (she's a prince fan too)...she mentioned the show and the price of the tix and i was like "how much?!" it totally took me by surprise.

as i think about this, i ain't as surprised as i was yesterday and i'm not pissed off and wanting to go into a conniptive fit like some folks are tending to do either...but still, i gotta say: $300-some odd dollas? [rickjamesvoice]that is absurd!!![/rickjamesvoice]

i just hope yawl have a flat rate for the internet, cuz if you were on dial up, paying by minute...with all that whinin and complainging u've been doin up in here u woulda paid for half of your ticket already lol j/k...i am sure everyone will get the chance to see our lil' purple man for a reasonable price this year....so everyone that's going: HAVE FUN!

Damn! All I can think of after reading that sentence is my mother saying, "Just because everybody else is doing it, that doesn't mean you have to do it too! Be a leader and not a follower!"

See ma, I really was paying attention!
