Just wanted 2 let u all know...Prince was @ Ruby Skye after the Oakland show. There was much speculation as 2 where the afterparty would be, if there was one. He mentioned Ruby Skye during the soundcheck - and showed up there! He showed around 1:30 am b4 last call. He stayed upstairs talking w/ a woman and just gazed at us all. The place wasn't 2 crowded...I think he was just checkin' out the sights 4 the next time he's here. There were only about 7 of us NPGMC people there...and we saw him get in2 his limo around 2:30 am w/ a woman who looked Spanish, kinda like Penelope Cruz. That's all folks...

Gee, Spanish looking? What a surprise! lol

Tell us about the Oakland Show?

Was it sold out?

What did he play? Say? Wear?

The most unusual thing that happened was?

The wackest thing was?

The JAM of the night was?

How long did he play?

etc.
Thanx

I think we need to be patient and wait for the reviews to come in comicsutra.

Hold on to your horses, they'll be in later.

Btw, the most unusual thing that happened all night was that P got in a limo with a Spanish looking woman. So, you can scratch that question off your list.

Do you think he paid her before or after she got in the limo?

Gosh Swinger, ya got me there.
Maybe we should email the NPGMC and inquire. Do you suppose they'd tell us?

It was probably Manni, his wife. She has that look that u describe and she was at the show.

The show was very, very good! No guests at all. Just Prince staight through the night.

THIS JUST IN.....

Quite possibly a hooker.

I found this information out from a couple good buddies that were standing around near the limo when they were about to get in. As luck would have it, they just happened to be close enough to overhear the conversation between P and this mystery Spanish looking woman. She apparently asked P what he wanted. Then, he kind of stood there with a blank look on his face. That's how my friends described it anyhow. It was sort of like he was fraught with indecision. She got kind of impatient with him (after all, her time is valuable). Then he finally uttered with a real deadpan delivery,

" Well, I guess you can tie me up, hit me and give me a blow job."

Btw, P must have stolen that line from Woody's Allen's film "Mighty Aphrodite." You'd think he could have come up with something more "original", but whatever.

Anyhow, then apparently, there was some type of monetary transaction that took place and they got in the limo.

So, in a nutshell, I'm assuming, but not altogether convinced, that it was in fact, a hooker.

So he wasn't kidding when he made that S&M video for A-u-t-o-matic?

He made a video for "Automatic" ?!?! I didn't even know it was ever released as a single? What is it? *is confused*

HIGH5 said:

Prince made her join the NPGMC before she even got in the limo.

The Automatic video is a great piece of Prince history

The beginning of the vid shows Prince just in silouette wearing a cop hat and rocking side to side. As the song goes on, it gets wild as Lisa Coleman and Jill Jones tie Prince to a big brass bed and act out an S&M scene, beating him as he rolls around on the bed!!

One of Prince's best and strangest early videos.

Brian, in your profile you mention that you "collect Prince."

I happen to know someone who has a rather large Prince collection available for someone who has the financial means to purchase it
