If you haven't heard the whisper….. wink

Once again, there's a very special Pre Purple Reign Party Meet Up organised in conjunction with The Dawn Experience and The London Prince Peeps Meet Up…..

The evening before The Purple Reign Party everyone is invited to come and join us for an informal drink and get together in the heart of London's West End...

The Pre Purple Reign Party Meet Up

The venue: The Glasshouse Stores
55 Brewer Street
Piccadilly/Soho
London]
W1


The time: 6pm (opening time) onwards
Date: Friday 24th September 2004

How to get there? wink Nearest tube station is Piccadilly Circus (5 mins walk)…
…Exit the tube station onto Glasshouse Street (you will have Tower Records and Regent Street to the left of you and on your right you will have Burger King and the Eros statue will be behind you)…
…Passing Burger King and at "The Jewel" (Wine Bar) turn immediately right into Sherwood Street; continue straight on, crossing Denman Street and past The London Pavillion Theatre on your right…
…at the end of Sherwood Street you will be in Brewer Street
…turn right onto Brewer Street and after 50 yards approx you will find the Glasshouse Stores on your right biggrin

biggrin biggrin biggrin biggrin biggrin biggrin biggrin biggrin biggrin biggrin biggrin biggrin biggrin biggrin biggrin biggrin

Glasshouse Stores is a traditional pub, with good beer and bar snacks, so no need to dress up - fine to roll up after work, train into town, after checking in at your hotel etc etc wink

We'll be in the downstairs bar and will have some signs on our tables to help you find us - come say "Hi!" (If the downstairs is booked out we may alternatively be upstairs so come find us!)

During the last pre party Meet in May we enjoyed the company of about 35 of you during the evening, hoping to see many of you and more this time!!!!! hug Tickets will also be available to purchase for the purple party event of the year the following night!

by discounted he means, cheaper than paying on the door on the nite. advance tix 2 the party r cheaper than paying on the door

actually a LOT of tix have been sold in advance, it's going 2 b a very busy party, it was packed the last time, thus the reason 4 having 2 dancefloors this time. these parties have just grown and grown. the 1st party we only had the basement dancefloor, now we have the entire building, and we fill it!

I wus there in May, and getting down on the dance floor with my lady (who doesn't really like Prince - so you must have been doing your job right lol ) I just though with having two gigs inside 6 months there might have been trouble shifting tix. But it's all good news dancing jig

actually each party we do is busier than the last, as most of the ppl who go 2 1 come back the next time we do 1. the may party was the 1st in over a year, and as it was so busy, i xpect this weeks party 2 b even busier. u can never tell until the nite itself, but judging by ticket sales, it should b the busiest yet

btw, regarding the music, my policy is 2 try and make ppl dance and keep them on the dancefloor, it just so happens that the music played at these parties is all by the 1 artist. my views r that if i can make ppl who don't like prince dance, then it must b a good nite 4 every1 else. i sympathise with club staff who have 2 listen 2 prince all nite, so i try and make it interesting 4 them also.

i once did a prince nite in a venue that is normally a rock club, and i was suprised that the bouncers MADE ME run over time by playing not only purple rain, but gold! normally bouncers want 2 clear a venue as quickly as possible, and ask dj's 2 stop the music early (as happened at the last party), so it was a surprise 2 have 2 hardened hells angels style rockers make me play 2 longish prince tracks over the closing time (i don't normally play purple rain at prince nites as it's a bit of a cliche, but something tells me i might have 2 break my habit 4 this week....)

Yay!

Can't wait you guys.

Won't be able to make it to the pre-party bash but hoping to see a few orgers there. Maybe we should have a show of hands at the start of the night.

i did a show of hands the last time when we announced the dance contest in the middle of the nite, and almost every1, if not every1 had thier hand up

i think u can safely presume that prettymuch every1 at the party is an orger, i would imagine at least half of every1 is an npgmc member, i'm not sure about housequake though, not many ppl have replied 2 the post on that site
