Prince and associated artists go toe-to-toe on the dance floor against Michael and the Jackson family during this ultimate party! This face-off always promises to be a dance marathon as dj’s mix album cuts, remixes, rare tracks and classics from their extensive music collections to battle it out on the turntables.

Who will win, The Purple One or the King of Pop? Who cares… this is the perfect night out to lounge with your friends, make some new friends, get your drink on, dance your @ss off and celebrate the music of both these pop stars. Also featuring songs from The Time, The Jackson 5, Sheila E., Janet Jackson, Vanity 6 and many more related artists.

“For SIX years now, Dave Paul (proprietor of hip-hop label Bomb Records) has hosted and DJ’ed at the brilliant “Prince vs. Michael Jackson” parties. As selections of hits, rarities, and remixes from both artists are presented over the course of the evening, audience members square off in funky battle, holding signs bearing the mug of their favored entertainer to judge which one is the true king of pop. This sure ain’t the place for cynics, but Darling Nikkis and Dirty Dianas are all welcome to participate.” - SF WEEKLY

PS - Mike, I'll make sure I bring my 12" record of Sex this time just for you

Looking forward to playing some of the new Prince tracks on the 18th in San Francisco. BTW - for everyone up in Seattle, we'll be back up there on Friday, July 10th.

I'm overdue to attend another one of these! But I have to leave Sunday morning on a business trip. Well, I suppose I can catch up on my sleep during the flight!

How is the parking situation these days around the Madrone? It was terrible two years ago!

^ That should say I have to leave the morning after the party...org won't let me edit the post for some reason!

Parking is still tough in the neighborhood. The earlier you are the easier it is to find parking. Secret hint - even though it's advertised as starting at 9pm we actually start playing music at 8pm. But don't go telling everyone...

Your secret is safe with me!

Could you recommend a place nearby to have a simple and inexpensive dinner?

People seem to like that place NOPA which is a block away. I haven't been there and don't know what their prices are but it seems to do good business. I would research them on Yelp to see what's up. There's a few places on Divisadero and lower Haight street too so it just depends on what type of food you like etc.

When we would play there on Sunday nights we could find all sorts of places up and down Divisidero...normally within a couple of blocks in either direction.

You gonna be there Saturday night?

CandaceS said:

No I got plans. Supposedly there is something going on the following week, but details are slim.

Looking forward to seeing everyone this Saturday. The weather is gonna be great in the city this weekend - hurray! If you have a song request post it up.

It's gonna be on like Donkey Kong!

Gigi will be celebrating her birthday at PvsM so you know it's gonna get rowdy. Everyone be ready to dance, party, and dance!

dlp45 said:

That's great news! Not just that it's her birthday but because it means a lot of familiar faces should be there!

OK, I'm going and bringing two friends! So I darn well better find a parking place!

I'm still wondering what you're hinting at here!!
