Okay, I'm really really sorry I didn't post earlier on this, but I've been tucked up in bed with a nasty cold!

Anyway after a bit of discussion with the local resident, Mr Paul Savage, we've decided on the following:

First meet at Moon Under Water on Deansgate at 5pm for those who won't be shopping or fancy a long session
Then move next door to RSVP for 7pm meet

Anyone will be able to tell you where Deansgate is if you've not been before, and we'll be a big bunch of ordinary looking folk! I'll try and make sure there's something prince-related on the table to help you! If you know you're going to be later, drop me an org note today or tomorrow and give me your mobile number so we can make sure we don't move on without telling you!

Apparently England are playing against Northern Ireland in the footy at Old Trafford which will mean places will be busy, so I'm suggesting to book a pizza/Italian called Grinch which is fairly cheap and cheerful and okay food for around 8.30pm. It would help to know numbers for this!!! I can always cancel on the day if we decide not to go, but it just gives us a place to eat if we want it.

Please post if you're definitely coming and you're not already on my list below so we don't move to another pub without you! (Or let me know if you are on the list and are not now coming so we don't wait for you!)

Number 23 are you in?? And PaulsBass? How about you?

Cammille has managed to blag her way onto the Tigertiger guest list for 10 lucky peeps but the deal is smart dress and if you're clearly hammered, they won't let you in! This is obviously for later in the night so if you're interested in that, dress accordingly please!

See you all on Saturday!

Cheers for that, I was just this minute going to ask what the latest details were! See you all there.

RSVP is at 64-66 Deansgate, Manchester, M3 2EN
Here's a link to a street map:

I'm getting all excited now I only know one other prince fan.

Really looking forward to seing you.

Me and JD will be getting down earlier to watch the footy. Org note me and I'll try and get my mobile to you to let you know where we are if you fancy it. I'll try to keep us close to Piccadilly.

See you all there!

whats footy? is that the sport where they aint allowed to pick the ball up and score tries??
and what time would we be going to tigertiger? if we start drinking at 5, one drink every 30 mins means 10 pints by 10pm.(or 10 champagnes if your a posh git)...that also means savage, JD and mellow will be too pissed by then to get into tigertiger so theres 10 of us left to get in....tidy!

I'm thinking of coming up from Birmingham on the Saturday for a few

Planning to travel back on the night though, cos I'm such a good boy

Just give us a tinkle on my mobile if necessary...No, I didnt mean it like that!

Have fun, guys. Would liked to have bounced down but no transport and I'm opposed to travelling on a train, alone, to a city I've never been.

Can u book Lisa and I for the meal !!!

Thanx...

At the risk of causing mad confusion....has anyone got preference on the food thing?

I'm thinking Italian cos it's easy and usually quite cheap, but there are lots of others to choose from...spanish (La Tasca is just down the road), indian, chinese, american, french.

What's everyone's budget? £10 per head? £5? £15? If I get no reponse, I'll stick with the Italian

themellowone said:

living room? pure space? lucid? cafe rouge?

Any of those sound good to me daf - I like my food!

What does everyone else think?

italian is fine by me, mellow

Okay.... I'm gonna come up to meet at 7.

I will be with a friend who is over from the states, but is not an Orger.

We will go with the flow, i.e. get some food and whatever so see you there!
