TBH I am not into talking about Prince with so many obsessives. It's scary the way people think he is Godlike and stuff. I just love the music and that's it. I have a life outside Prince. Would love a venue playing all his music though.

I could get my groove on

m22 said:

hello....again..

Have you decided on a venue yet? Got the hotel booked just need to know where to party

Cheers uni. u are a star.

Thanks for keeping us up to date, I'm sure we'll have a great night wherever we end up.

So what is exactly happening like???

This is all so vague. I am well up for a Prince fan gathering and party but so far we have no idea of where or what is happening.

Sorry to be so anal and inquisitive but my touch of OCD necessitates me needing to have more information. Especially since it is all so close.

Aye. But where. I will be working on the sat till the evening and I would like to know where the pub is that I shall be going to. Just confused as to why the details are vague. That's all. Need to know do I have time to go home or do I take clothes with me to work. The place will depend what I wear. Different places different styles of dress etc.

As I said and I always have had it since a young child but I can't do things at the last minute. I need to know. OCD. That's me.

totally my lovely prince maniac friend...Il meet u whenever venue is decided ...so dont worry...all will be revealed... love and hugs too u .xx

Cool. Wel working toll 10pm anyway so can't get there for 5.30. I wouldn't if I could as I would be drunk by 8 and just become a mess.

But I will come if 10+pm is ok with you? I guess you will be all on your own little buzz by then and it will be difficult to get involved.

I'll see.

There is no way I can be there for 6 as i work 'till 10pm. Is that too late consisering by the time I clock off and get to Tollcross it will be edging towards 10.30 or later?

Even if I could though if I started drinking at 6 pm I would be comatose by 9pm and make a show of myself and have to go home. So it is best if I do arrive later.

Realistically. Will people be there so early?

Place looks nice. I always passed the Cameo and thought ' what a shit hole'.

Obviously one should not judge a book by it's cover.

Lesson learnt Studal.

EDINBURGH PRINCE FAN MEETUP

Saturday 27th September 2008

THE CAMEO CINEMA BAR

38 Home Street, Tollcross, Edinburgh
Starts 6pm sharp - free entry
Dresscode - where what you like/casual

_____

I'm very happy to finally confirm the venue for the 31 - 21 Nites in Edinburgh fan meetup on Saturday 27th

September 2008 at the Cameo Picturehouse Cinema Bar, at 38 Home Street, Tollcross Edinburgh.

It's taken a bit of work to obtain a suitable venue at such short notice, especially on a busy month end Saturday nite in Edinburgh, so to arrange with such a great venue is pretty fantastic. The venue has regular theme nites in the bar, where they have "a night of..." either a particular band or artist, or sometimes a style of music. They don't normally hold these nights on Fridays and Saturdays as normally those are busy days and they don't need events to bring in business, but they have very kindly agreed that we can hold a Prince theme nite in the bar on the given date. Normally the theme nites take place for a 3 hour period from 9pm-midnite, but as this is a Saturday the management have agreed that we can play Prince music from 6pm to 8.30pm, and from there on they will judge the reception from guests and staff, and if appropriate we may be allowed to continue the theme further. So if the music is good, and people like it, and the bar staff aren't sick of listening to Prince, we may get an extension. Whatever happens, there will be music and a bar until midnite, and there are also video screens in the bar, and I'll have specially compiled material for the nite.

The Cameo Cinema is one of the oldest cinemas in Edinburgh, and is respected as being the main cinema for arthouse and indie movies, with a large customer base of students and film fans. It's had celebrities such as Sean Connery, Quentin Tarrantino and Irvine Welsh attend premiers. I've personally seen some of my favorite movies for the first time there, such as Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas, Boogie Nights, and Girl 6, to give you an idea of the type of venue. It's an old Elizabethan building but has a modern style bar. The vibe of the bar is a chilled out laid back place for people to hang out and have a drink before and after shows, and we've been asked to respect that and the regular customers. As such, this will be a Prince fan meetup, with Prince music, videos and chat, there will be alcohol on sale, but there won't be any dancing at the venue.

The bar is open during the day, so people can turn up early and get in, get a seat and have a drink, I'll be there early, and the Prince music will kick off at 6pm sharp. As the bar closes at midnite, and it's in the centre of town, it's possible for people to continue the night on the town in late nite bars or clubs in Edinburgh city centre, and it's also convenient for people to get the last train or bus home as the venue isn't far from Waverley Train Station, Haymarket Train Station or St Andrews Square Bus Station. You can get buses or trains back to Glasgow from Haymarket which is about 15 mins slow walk or 2 minutes in a taxi.

If anyone has any questions, please let me know. The venue, date and time are confirmed, and it won't be cancelled or rescheduled, the show will go on. Prince is not guaranteed to attend, and this is not an official NPG related event.

Please help spread the word about this event by whatever means you have, such as myspace, bebo, facebook, etc, and alerting other fans or people who may be interested in attending. Attaching a link to this thread in your org sig, as I've done, is also handy as it alerts people who may not check the fan gathering forum regularly.

I'll see you all there - 27th September, the Cameo Cinema Bar, Edinburgh.
