nyc where's the party???

I was thinking about this on yesterday and I see u beat me to the punch utopia! LOL I would love to meet some orgers coming to this lovely city of ours when Prince comes to town.

i got tickets to all 5 shows. so anyone wanna meet up b4 for food or drinks i'll be sure to get there super early! taking a train to both msg shows from PRINCEton junction.

for jersey im spending the night on the 14th then leaving after the 15th..if there is a aftershow..whenever but will drive back on the 17th..

Yay! I'm game. Unfortunately, I still have to get my tickets because I'm being a concert snob and refuse to accept anything but floor...yeah, I know; but, I always do floor so why deviate from my norm. Got floor seats by total accident off of ebay for the 'Musicology' tour -$125 and was literally less than 5 feet from the stage...great show . Anyway, there's this great BBQ restaurant by BB Kings in Times Square that has the best drinks and chicken wings ever (drinks are massive). Any other suggestions for meetup spots?

i've gotten tix ff ebay for decent prices b4. i remember i just missed the last bus home and found a applebees near port authority. some ppl from manhattan need to chime in..we got time!

Hey I live in Portland, OR, will be flying in on the 28th and staying thru New years!!!! Gonna b a blast.

Would love to not go alone.

I am coming to the 29th show by train anyone wanna meet up?

Me and my sister will be flying in from Fla for the 12/14 show. We are a bit nervous about being there and not knowing the area, or how to get from point A to point B. Would love to meet up with some Prince fans who know their way around.

Got my tickets for NYC on Saturday night. Pre-show meetups anyone? Afterparties TBA

I was wondering if he might show up at the Village Underground again. He went there last spring after an event. It's a cool place.

Going to the 2 MSG shows with another orger. I am sure that we will both be into a little pre-show action.

ok we need someone from the nyc area that knows what resurants,hangouts there are around there..

This is the place I was talking about. Great atmosphere and food; and the drinks are massive. Prices are reasonable for the amount of food that you get. It's on 42st - 3 doors down from BB Kings.

Here's their website:

Does it look like a good place to meet-up before the show because we could always reserve some tables beforehand?

Awesome! I'll see if I can reserve some tables for the 18th then. Anyone who wants to go is welcome. The more the merrier. Oh, and the ribs are really good; but the honey chicken wings are outstanding.

I didn't get tickets for the 29th show, but you should still try Dallas BBQ. It's great!

I will be flying in from Illinois by myself I have tickets for the 12/17 Izod show (but since I have no Prince fan friends, I guess I'll be selling the other one) I am staying in New York from 12/16-12/19 at a tiny little hotel (hostel?)near Madison Square Garden (the Chelsea Star Motel).

I would LOVE to meetup with other orgers.I'm pretty much a lurker, but love you guys and I bet you'd be fun to meet IRL. New York is fantastic, and will definitely be able to amuse myself but it would be much more fun to have other like-minded people to hang out with. It looks like a lot of other people feel the same way. Should we set up a org meetup twitter feed, or a meetup page, or something more official so we can easily see what's going on?

I definitely think we should meet up at the Village Underground/Fat Black Pussycat since he's been there twice this year. I went earlier this summer. It's got a great vibe, and the house band is so good.

Oh, I'm game for a meetup!! I'll be in on the 13th, because I"m going to all 3 NJ shows and hopefully I can get tix for the NY show on the 18th. So I'm in town from the 13th until the 19th. Let me know where we're meeting up at, I don't know NY/NJ at all, so...

I'll be there from 12/16 - 12/20. I was *this* close to going by myself but my boyfriend expressed interest in going with me the other night when were were having some drinks

I thought he didn't like him, but the alcohol said otherwise lol

I'll be staying at a hostel as well (either Chocolat or Candy Hostel). Let's keep in touch! Do you have a facebook account?

Hey Marvelette, Etifaim and Anyone Else!

I am flying in from Alberta, Canada to see Prince on December 18th. I also couldn't find a second person to go with me to the concert. However if anyone wants to go I do have an extra ticket for sale!!!!!!! They're not the worlds greatest seats but who cares it's Prince!! (section 315, row J, seats 11-12)

This will be my first time in New York and it would be cool to meet up with some other Prince fans and meet some new people while I am in NY. I arrive on December 18th and leave on the 20th. I definitley down for having a good time while I am in NY so please feel free to email me or send me message.

Also if anyone does want to go to the concert as I mentioned above I do have an extra ticket that I am going to sell.
