Hi folks,
Orgnotes isn't working for me, so I just wanted to say that I'd be up for the meal at Bar Napoli also. Mmmm....mushroom pizza!!

My plan is to be in town by 2pm at the latest, so if anyone wants to have a wander around beforehand, let me know!

Despite the risk of being stalked and bombarded by yet more viagra spam, my email address is mcmichael_a@hotmail.com.

p.s. I'm the person from Glasgow and I'll be staying over - I reckoned that the risk of driving with a drink in me the next day just wasn't worth it so I'm getting the train (quite a novel experience for me!). I'm definitely up for the after party too.

Looking forward to it..

Andrew.

one of them would be me. my name on NPGUK is jameschalmers/laurence lean.

i'm currently resisting the temptation of going to the pub with my mates to watch the cup final. if i go i drink, and if i drink in the afternoon i won't make it to the party
how early is everyone going?

Hope u all had a great night.....

4tunately no casualties at the party itself, everything went surprisingly well, the place was half full b4 7pm which was cool, and quickly got busier and stayed that way all the way thru until the end. there were ppl coming and going thru the nite, at one point we counted more than 100 ppl in the venue at once, which filled the place, but not unconfortably, there was still room 2 dance and move around easily, plus we had a number of chairs and tables, so we could cope with more ppl easily

we possibly had as many as 150-200 different ppl in the venue during the course of the nite, plenty ppl who hadn't heard of the party from the internet, there was at least one press mention that i know off and we had a number of phone calls on the nite 2 the venue from ppl who just found out about it

4 those who didn't go, u REALLY REALLY missed a good nite. judging by the amount of alcohol drunk and the dancing, every1 seemed 2 have a gr8 nite

the venue owner was very pleased and the bar staff all had fun 2, which all helps. the ppl who weren't prince fans still had a gr8 nite and still liked the music

there were a few ppl on the list who didn't turn up, and there r still more scottish fans who post on the various sites, so there is a lot of potention 4 doing something even bigger

it would b cool if the locals would like 2 arrange 2 meetup in the next week or 2 just 4 a few drinks and chat, in the same venue would probably b appropriate, as i wasn't really able 2 talk 2 ppl much as i was djing all nite

I could feel it was gonna be a great night, and I knew pretty early on I couldnt make it, hence not posting on this thread before.

Hope another night is organised soonish, cause I'm in a huff now

im green with envy!

sermwanderer said:

hopefully we can organise something else soon. what i'd like 2 do is arrange a meetup with the edinburgh locals and any1 else if u wanna come, and we can just sit and drink and chat and discuss events and promotions and getting every1 involved and getting every1 2 come along

i think camile and friend were the only folks 2 come up from england after all, there was a good edinburgh turnout and a number of ppl through from glasgow and around scotland, altho not as many as there could b, perhaps most ppl were waiting 2 c how this went

as such, we just need 2 make sure the next actual party isn't 2 soon 2 put ppl off from coming as a lot of ppl need 2 pay 4 hotels and travel etc.

i did find in searching, hotels nearby from around £36, including a hotel just around the corner from the venue. in order 2 get a room and get a good price, ppl will need 2 ensure they book early, rather than leaving it 2 last minute and finding the cheapest places r fully booked. i reckon if ppl organise well, every1 should b able 2 get accomodation 4 about £40 a person max, or cheaper if u can find ppl 2 share rooms with

with this party being busy, and the next uk party currently announced at the end of october, perhaps we can do something halfway between now and october, say july or august, and persuade more folks 2 travel up from england and around. the fact that this party was a sucess and we have the pictures will perhaps help get more ppl 2 travel up

we could maybe even plan something 4 the edinburgh festival, altho that would create problems 4 ppl trying 2 get cheap accomodation as all prices go up at that time, and everywhere gets booked out quickly. if we did do it, i'm sure if promoted properly we could easily pack the place out

"it would b cool if the locals would like 2 arrange 2 meetup in the next week or 2 just 4 a few drinks and chat, in the same venue would probably b appropriate, as i wasn't really able 2 talk 2 ppl much as i was djing all nite"


yeah, i'd be well up for that. i had a great time last night. turned up on my own and met loads of very friendly, chatty folks.
did anyone ever go to the Prince nights at the Citrus Club in the early 90's? reminded me a bit of those. Prince all night.....heaven...
i didn't have a pen or anything last night so if anyone wants to get in touch my e mail address is laurencelean@aol.com

Pics dammit!!!

williammelvinhicks said:

i used 2 dj at the prince nites at the citrus club, so thats prolly y it reminded u of that

i think i'm up 4 coming 2 ure gig on saturday btw if any1 else wants 2 join me, let's try and sort out a mini meet 4 the locals. if u guys who didn't send me mobile numbers wanna orgnote me i'll txt u back mine 2 make it easier 2 sort out the weekend.

williammelvinhicks said:

i just realised who u r now. remember a girl near manchester called beverley who had a prince nite in her house the nite b4 the madhouse music party? u were talking 2 my mate paul and asking him about the possibility of me djing b4 ure gigs on ure tour with annie christian. it's a small world eh?

unique said:

holy shit!!!! it certainly is a small world. that was a good night, from what i remember. beverley was a friend of my ex girlfriend, Debs. Debs was also a huge fan. i think that party was on Prince's birthday, if i remember rightly.
i used to love the Citrus Club nights. did you DJ there after the Meadowbank gig? if it was you then hats off sir. my feet didn't leave the dancefloor that whole night. good stuff last night too.
ooooh, i wish Prince would come and play the UK soon so we can have all dayers.

williammelvinhicks said:

i didn't do the meadowbank 1, but i did all the other 1s which were a lot better than that. i wouldnt do a nite directly after a prince concert in case there is an aftershow, un4tunately he flew out of edinburgh right after the concert
