Yes it was...but if you REALLY think about it, getting teased by Prince is actually pretty cool. Something to tell your grandkids about one day.

(...it was the summer of 2015...holoconcerts hadn't been invented yet...and this Orger and I rushed out of the Alabama Shakes performance to get up close to Prince. Little did we know that he was sitting in his observation room laughing at all of us with aching feet, and so just when the room filled up with excited fans, he handed us a banana with the word "psyche" written all over it by telling the guards to clear the room...")

It makes a good story. But it's tacky behavior in my esteemed opinion.

I wish I was so lucky to have gotten teased by Prince while I was there.

Really? I dunno. It would have been fun to explore the innards of Paisley Park with you in any case!

Thank you!

I would much rather have had your experience instead of mine which was leaving Minneapolis early and missing out on getting inside Paisley Park altogether.

That was the first time I had absinthe with sugar. Too sweet!

Edit: I waited a day too late to post my invasion photos and now the htread is locked so I'm tacking them onto the end of my last post. If you follow me on Instagram then you've seen all these already.




First night: Upper St. Anthony Falls Lock and Dam underneath the Stone Arch Bridge.




Second day: Third Avenue and Stone Arch Bridges over the Mississippi River seen from the Hennepin Avenue Bridge.




Second night: Me outside of First Avenue & 7th St Entry.




Second night: The band Temples on the main stage inside First Avenue.




Third day: ZombieKitten and thekidsgirl walking over the Irene Hixon Whitney Bridge near Loring Park.




Third day: thekidsgirl and me outside Paisley Park.




Fourth day: Me at Target Field baseball stadium.




Fifth day: ZombieKitten choosing Legos at the Legoland store at Mall of America.

That was my first taste of absinthe, EVER.

I had such a great time seeing everyone and meeting a few of y'all for the first time after chatting/posting/kowing y'all.....some for nearly 20 years! being a tourist in your own town with people who totally get you is hard to come by....SO much fun was had. vi
