Second report on the Paisley party

It was BULLSHIT. The Love4oneanother room was all redesigned, and it looked cool, but they fucked us over. The bodyguards told everyone it was gonna be a performance, and made us pay a $7 "donation." when we got inside, we all sat there (TONS of people FYI) watching this huge TV screen play some crazy computer graphics over spliced prince video imagery. The music was a lot of prince, and a lot of Tribe for some reason. Every now and then they would cut out and show some real concert footage. They showed clips of prince European promo tour for Rave, as well as his jam at Paisley back in October (the one where Mavis and George showed up). That was cool, but the natives were restless.
The stage was all set up. Entirely set up! Yours truly had an excellent spot right in front, but it was all in vain. prince SCREWED us over. I spoke to a source at Paisley (someone close to prince let me say...) and he said that the performance was cancelled because prince DIDN'T SHOW UP UNTIL NEARLY 3:30, AT WHICH TIME MIKE AND MORRIS HAD TAKEN OFF! He didn't show up?!? What the hell? And he had the nerve to charge us all $7 and promise a performance? It's harder by the day to be a prince fan. Just looking around last night, he pissed a LOT of people off. They were told of a performance, and paid for just that. What a rip-off. Well, I guess we paid for his new TV screen. If prince thinks he can make up for this by throwing another $7 "performance" next weekend, forget about it. Last night was bullshit.
To all those who wanna defend prince, if you weren't there last night, shut up. The man screwed a loy of people over, and that's a fact. Don't make me spell it out for you in Princebonics.
