*reserving final decision until 12:01 a.m., Jan 1, 2003.*

If we get ONA live *before* it hits retail, and if we get SOMETHING else for membership besides this live set that's not exclusive, then I'll happily rejoin. Anything...a download, a bonus disc, a jpeg of Prince holding a sign that reads "I love NPGMC members"...whatever. Give us something.

I certainly will not be. If Prince is going to put out quality music, he'll put it out in a store.

Anxiety

I've never really been interested in gambling, particularly in this economy...if he comes through in the 11th hour, I'd consider joining next year...however, even if he DOES dazzle us at the last minute, I won't put a renewal at the top of my list of things to buy.

After this mess of a year, I think NPGMC should offer renewal memberships to existing members at $75 or even half price. Of course, Prince assumes everyone's as well-off and un-money-conscious as he is, so that would never happen...

i have a feeling that if it's even offered next year it will be a dramatically different thing...but i don't expect the club as it is to be offered for another year...just my opinion tho...

I'll probably hold off unless/until he announces a tour -- otherwise, no real benefit if it continues as this year's did.

hell yeah, he oughtta do a renewing member rate -- even a $10 or $20 diff would be a nice *gesture*

oh yes, regarding re-upping: Like Prince, I reserve the right to change my mind at any point with no explanation provided or expected. Thanks, y'all --
let me come over it's a beautiful day to play with you in the dark

For me, there are things that I liked about the club(I benifited greatly from the concert/soundcheck/aftershow experience), and things that I did not like. Overall, however, I would probably still join next year because I just want to support Prince in his career,as I have been doing for 20+ years now. Besides, any long time Prince fan knows that the first thing to realize about Prince if you are going to be able to follow him is that he is nuts, and not a very good businessman. Just try to enjoy the music.

Ugh...

I've been thinking about renewing. I sent an email requesting details about 2003. (Hoping like ... somebody knows a majority of fans are not pleased with the current arrangement) Unfotunately, I haqvn'e received a response yet. (It's probably hard for them to answer since I requested no riddles and "phantom" messages as a reply.)

I don't think I will. Money's tight and I'm not satisfied.

Couldn't agree more! Bill Gates is a great businessman, but I sure wouldn't buy an album of his music! Prince should keep focusing on the music, and we'll decide whether to give him our business. And U know we will as long as the music is like what we've been hearing in 2001 and 2002!

Now, I'll check my mailbox one more time to make sure there wasn't a late-nite delivery of my box set...

If there is going 2 B a 3rd year, I can´t C why I shouldn´t join.
As a lover of his music one should be joining the NPGMC.
B happy we can support this man and his music, so he can keep on doing the thing.

I think I'll wait a little bit this time to see what he's offering. I hate to miss out on any new music but this year has been so disorganized that it's making me hesitate. Ah well fuck it.
