Not sure if this particular topic belongs in this forum or another but...

Why the hell doesn't any states in Australia have fan clubs? And if we do.. why the hell don't i know about them???

I mean every bloody state in America has one according to this site.

It's unfair...

start one!

Controversy said:

That makes 2 people...Yay for us!... I'm a happy little vegemite.

I'm three for Melbourne.

I read an article from back during the Musicology tour that not only did Princey start his tour here but Melbourne were the quickest to sell the tickets out.

We're loyal fans

I think if you started a fan club for australia it'd prove popular, someone just has to take the first step lol.

im four for melbourne!

Lol, someone start a club already!

if P bothers 2 come 2 Canberra next tour i will start one up here hehe...but know him like every1 else he will forget the CAPITAL of australia.....man it shits me having 2 go 2 Sydney or Melbourne for concerts...

ok melbournites, how do we do this?

xperience love your avatar

I don't know how we start one, find a free webspace lol.

ok i will!

will start on Wednesday!

thx!

I think the problem is that Prince is constantly touring Europe and the USA so there's more reason to start fan clubs and what not over there. He's only ever toured here twice and he only ever plays Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne. Plus there's just a lot more people over there!

Occasionally I think of starting an Aussie-Prince-fan mailing list or something, but it's kind of redundant now with great websites like prince.org and housequake.com.

But hey, if anyone wants to start one, count me in

any ideas on what we can call it?

Purple Australians
















Kidding.

LOL

I love it..

I live near there so thats hot!

As for a name.. it would have to be original ofcoarse.. Ummmmm.. sorry I'm not inventive.

Let's face it..all of us are lazy arses that will never get around to organising anything.. besides how awkward would it be if it actually became a reality and like 5 peeps turned up?? eeekkk. *runs away*

I guess we all have one common interest though.. the purple one... so maybs.

I like Face Down Under... even if it doesn't relate to P. Atleast it will be totally different from all the other fanbase names.

I don't know about the other one.

^Face Down Under does relate to P, cause Face Down is one of his song.

I think we need a few more name suggestions though....*mental blank*

The Australian Experience?

Oh god...

purplesweat said:

My Bad.. oops..

The Australian Experience.. lol.. not feeling the love.

Come on people bring on some more suggestions!! Jeez!

I wonder how many Aussies are members on prince.org? and how many live in Melbourne??

Because basically the location has been decided.. MELBOURNE..

Ive just moved over from Scotland, I'm now located in Perth, W.A. and I have still to hear Prince on the Radio!! (ive been here 3 MONTHS already!). I feel all alone in my little Prince world.

lol @ Face Down not relating!! c'mon dude!

Mel-boing is the place to be!!

so FaceDownUnder is in the lead?

EDIT: Oh what about DownUnderTheCherryMoon LOL!
[Edited 4/23/07 22:13pm]

ohhh working ideas!!



what y'all think?

Ya know, that's actually pretty good!

Maybe have a lil tiny Prince on the top of Uluru

Not sure about the brown though.....dark purple?

And yes, it should be in Melbourne

Damn, that sucks. I heard When Doves Cry yesterday.

was using the brown n gold to keep with the aussie signage theme i was gonna use, it keeps it different from all the otha websites using purple too.

so what sections did you all want on it?

forums
aussie fan stories / profiles
meets (?)

???

I dunno which section. You choose.. you're the artist.
