Hey all!

I got media passes for Celebration 2018 which started today.

Here's our Day One review

Heard some great things about Sheila E. today--that she "tore the roof" off Paisley Park.

I have to say that the panel discussion with Sheila E. was the best interview that I seen with any of the panelists including last year with The Revolution. She held nothing back and gave some great stories. As for her concert, it was incredible. The woman is amazing and she did Prince right in his home with her band, The Twinz and Mayte.

The concert screenings have been great. There are differents groups on the 2 different tracks, so not sure what others have seen so far. I've seen the 2nd Paisley Park Piano and a Microphone show, split up between Friday and Saturday. Also on Friday I saw a 3RDEYEGIRL show from Montreal from May 25, 2015, the first 45 minutes. Quality was excellent. The Target Center thing was cool and they mentioned today that they may take it to other cites, but I don't see many people paying $200 to see a video with mainly band members that the casual Prince audience wouldn't know. Funny side note, I had 3rd row and guess who was sitting next to me? Dr Fink! ...and he was texting Wendy.

Thnaks for the updates!

Thank you for the video report and your lovely enthusiasm. You guys are adorable.

A-ha! Thank you Luv. I was wondering why no one was commenting about the performances.

Is now the time (with Prince no longer touring) to combine 'concerts' and 'fan gatherings' to and forum of 'Events' so that more people are made aware of the active scene?

I like that idea
