I was working in the West Hollywood area - there are a number of high end / designer showrooms within a few blocks of each other. I drove by one showroom, but there was no parking near it, so I turned around and eventually found parking near another. After a visit to that account, I walked on down the street to the account that I had missed earlier due to lack of parking.

The guys at the account were wrapping up a conversation with a beautiful young girl. After she left, they looked at each other and commented about what a bizarre hour it had been. I asked why and they told me that about an hour ago, Prince had come into their showroom and was shopping for a rug for his house. He wanted a custom rug with the numbers of his house in it for a party he's having. The girl they were talking with was his assistant and he left 5 minutes before I walked in!!! That was the showroom that there was no parking in front of!! I would have been face to face with the little guy if I could have found a parking space.

These guys deal with tons of Hollywood types, so they are not star struck at all - and typically I'm not either. But to bump into Prince at one of my accounts would have been totally surreal... What's even more curious is that most A list celebrities do not go to the showrooms themselves - they have assistants or designers that handle these things for them. Prince must have really wanted this rug and taken a special interest in buying it.

cool!!! Well, it's not cool that you missed him, but still its cool that you almost crossed paths like that!

i seriously thought you were talking about a whole different type of carpet....

we already know he likes carpet. he's had his fair share. i'd only be surprised if he called the hardware store and asked if the caulk had a taste to it..

I heard that Prince doesn't walk on shag carpet, 'cause it makes him look short. Maybe he was there to "try on" the carpet? "Mani... how do I look on this?"

Let me guess his house number is 69?
