but what's the "white party" thing mean? confuse


it just means that a lot of people will be showing up dressed in white. it's recommended to do so, but it's by no means required or enforced. i'm sure black and pink are perfectly acceptable wardrobe options. biggrin


oh, thank heavens.

I don't wear white. boxed

i have a really difficult time obeying dress codes. people call that rude. to be honest, i sometimes wish against my better judgment that we all were nude. i wish there were no black parties or white parties, and you know what? i gotta be honest. i wish there were no rules.

WOW! How tragic! But I guess running a Prince monthly can be quite challenging given that Prince fans aren't getting any younger (i.e., going 2 a nightclub isn't something older people do with much frequency). I run Canada's only recurring Prince tribute party Purplelectricity, and I only hold it as a quarterly so that it's a special occasion 4 Prince fans 2 anticipate. Perhaps the Chicago party should try 2 move 2 a quarterly formula?

My God. I was so looking forward to going to one of these parties in the future but now I won't be able to get the chance. I hope all of you guys who attend have the time of your lives out there in Chi-Town.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

That is really too bad.
I felt the same way when Prince backed off of Glam Slam
and Erotic City (late at night upstairs)
Was sad when he gave up on the club all together...
BUT..... if its all about the Music and the dancing and meeting
other Fams.... Then it would seem to me that
ANY ONE could take over if they really wanted too..... right??
I mean anyone can spin Prince tunes??

I have heard of soo many Prince fans that have "given up" on Prince
this last year or so... and its Very sad....
Prince has SOO much talent and IF he would just put forth a
BIT of effort he could put out some Slammin' Music again!!!


i could say a lot in response to this post, but i'll focus on the positive (for a change)...

whatever's going on in prince's world right now, with his career, his relationship with his fans, his personal life, his religion, whatEVER, this sunday marks the end of an era and a milestone for many longtime fans who attended these great parties for years.

many people know how involved sam was in the whole scene, on more levels than just a few, and how much he contributed to keep the fan community excited and enthusiastic even when the vibes coming out of paisley park weren't exactly overflowing with joy and jubilation. sam kept the party moving for us, even during times when it seemed like the party was getting pooped for good.

no matter how divisive or dreary or non-eventful things would get...if it was during one of those breaks between albums, or if prince had just pulled the switch on his latest official web site, or if the fans were divided over some new controversial action committed by the artist often known as litigious, we could ALWAYS depend on being one big lovefest during the last sunday of the month, when the only thing that mattered was the music.

being all face to face, enjoying the music together, all the dumb shit didn't matter anymore. the internet flame wars, the chatroom tussles, the orgers vs. the Quakers (and, at one time, vs. the NPGMCers)...all that went out the window for a few hours every month, cuz we all realized we shared a love of the same music, and that was more important than all the stupid stuff we bicker about the other 30 or 31 days of the month. lol

so for that alone, sam should be commended. for 13 years he found a way to check the bullshit at the door and he got us on our feet, happy, and enjoying the good stuff that made us fans in the first place.

i've heard rumblings that prince night may eventually continue after this month's party, but i really hope that's not the case...or if it happens again, it's a significantly different creature instead of an attempt to continue in the footsteps of the last 13 years. cuz really, seriously...it's not gonna be the same.

this sunday is going to be deep, but i know for sure it's going to be one last chance to fam out with some of the best folks a guy could ever want to party with...and i wouldn't miss it for anything. bow


It would b "nice" if they did continue seein' that I'm originally from Chicago wasn't a fan when I was livin' there. [Now, I'm in South Florida]. If they didn't/don't: sux 2 b me ...
Peace ... & Stay Funky ...

It was an honor to attend these parties for 13 years. I was at the first Prince Night at Aftermath on Halsted before it moved to Berlin.

I met many people at Prince Night and invited people to come when I discovered they were Prince fans.

Prince Night always was and will be about the music.

All good things must come to past.

See you Sunday.

see, that's just it. having someone take over for sam and chad would be like when the main character leaves a sitcom and they keep the show going and bring on some lame replacement character. even if it's a great actor, it hardly ever keeps the show from jumping the shark. better the chicago prince parties go out with a bang instead of a whimper, ya know?


nod I agree, and I know what you mean about getting a replacement actor when a main character quits a sitcom. It is not the same thing at all. For example, I didn't like the show "Good Times" after the actor who played the father left the show. He just added something to the sitcom. But anyway, not to get this thread off-topic, but just an example to let you know that I know what you're getting at. nod
