I cannot believe its been this long since I have posted on prince.org (says 2002!) I was hoping someone could help me out. I attended the Celebration at Paisley Park in either 2001 or 2002. I cannot remember which because all my stuff is at my parents house. Anyways....it was where we got to listen to the unreleased 'Rainbow Children' and then went and talked with a couple of movie producers about our thoughts. Prince came down and sat on the piano bench and talked with us. For awhile they posted pics on the website of that talk and there was one of me sitting on the floor. I had it saved but have long lost it.

I now am a teacher and when I share this story with my students they do not believe me and want proof. Since we were not allowed to take cameras in, this was my only proof of being inside Paisley.

By any crazy chance, does anyone still have those pictures? It would mean the world

the rainbow children celly was 11-19 june 2001

man, those bring back some memories. Unfortunately i am in none of those. If I remember correctly it was a picture from above looking down. I was sitting on the floor, white male and I had on a St. Louis Cardinals baseball jersey. We were in the Atrium where he had the doves in a cage above.

thanks for your help,

nick

you can probably guess i got a lot more

nice pics but none of those are me unfortunately. After doing some reading, it was for sure the second celebration. We went eary (1st session) to preview the Rainbow Children. Afterwards they took about 30 of us into the atrium where Kevin Smith and his crew were waiting to 'interview' us. About half way through, Prince came from the back and sit down on the piano bench.

The pic was taken from upstairs looking down, i was sitting on the floor not to far from the piano. All I remember is that it was on the NPG official website.

i appreciate your help, its really stirring up some great memories, but still no proof for the kids

i was at the first session on the first day of TRC, and no-one went to the atrium after that session. from what i understand, it was from the second day onwards that those sessions happened

do you have a photo of yourself looking like you did at that time, and some clear shots of the type of t shirt you were wearing (ie. from google images), as i have so many photos it would be helpful to try and ID them, as some photos aren't great quality. there are a few taken from an elevated position. i have all the npgmc photos. ALL

this would be the jersey i was wearing. as far as pics of me, not sure i have any of those around. I would have been 19 yrs old, somewhat tan, and i bleached the top part of my hair back then. I assume they would be NPGMC pics since i saw it on the website there. I hope this is enough to help
