From the road:


The view wasn't good enough so I climbed up on the roof to take a better shot:



Here is a picture I took of the glass pyramid while I was up there:

I figured someone would figure it out by now and since I have to leave I better be honest so people don't think I'm a huge fanboy stalker lol

I figured the date on the pictures and the fact that the image is linked to a company might be enough for someone but hey.... evil

Anyway yesterday I googled Paisley Park images and a company Prince did work with had these pictures of the work being done on it's website. There are more pictures at:

No, I'm sure with soundstages & studios it needs to be pretty big, but it really is impressive. Of course I've only been in studios the size of bedrooms!

Interesting pics, though. Just because it's such an unexpected view of Paisley Park.
Now, has anyone ever been in that egg, or know at least what it's for?

Many years ago I spent a fall semester going to a college in Minneapolis. I bought a heavy parka & boots & long underwear so I would be prepared for the worst.
It snowed one day in December about a half an inch.
That was it the whole time I was there.
And it wasn't that cold.
Theres this myth that Minnesota is the polar icecap & its not true.

It was going to be a restaurant until Prince came to his senses. It is still unfinished.
