The doors opened at bout 11:30pm, (was like 40 degrees outside,
people were freezing outside waiting in line...) I would say there
was about 50 to 100 people max there... They charged $7 at the door
so folks were hopin 2 see a show...
The party took place in the large soundroom (not the L4OA room)
the stage was set up and there was a camera on stage as well...
So we waited and waited and waited... huhuhuh

In the mean time someone asked folks to gather in front of the stage
and "pretend" like prince'd B onstage, so that they could film the
crowd... Not everyone did...
at round 1.15am Bunny alone came and stood by the soundboard watchin
people, (Has anyone seen the "wifey" lately?)
Anyways he stayed around 4 a while walked back and forth then left...
At 2:15 am they asked people 2 leave...

My thoughts on the whole thing is dat only Bunny could actually have
folks come 2 his house charge them $7 to just use them as "extras" 2
fulfill his "cinematographically" ever changing needs, then just send
them home pretendin like nothing happened... lol
Oh well it's all good, U know we still like him a lot on this side of
town...

Johnny why do you call him Bunny?

oops inside joke, they called him little funkbunny once in NPGMUSICLUB...
my bad..
and BTW I just realised CARRIEMPLS had posted a very similar review in here earlier.. sorry 4 the repeat... I guess great minds "write" alike...

Well,I hope so cause if you don't remember there are many more States and Toronto is just up the block. I'd tell him Prince run and don't look back. Go to the New. Forget Old Shit and just Build Anew. If he's not being loved Prince should move to a town that does Love him. Ingrates. He doesn't need . I wouldn't want Prince paying taxes in a town that is against him or racist. I'd say get out of there. I wish he loved living in N.Y. cause he could move here and we always give him the best reviews. So many facilities here and what does he need a run-down place for? Minnesotians be forced to come to N.Y. That should be. Paisley probably costs tons to run and he should sell it. Move on and work at the different studios again. Prince needs to stay in the new like I always do.

Don't get me wrong I really love Minneapolis,but if he's not happy with stuff then move on and out. Close-up shop. I think he could do better without a cash cow so to speak.

He will never ever leave Paisley.

i hope that you are right joeycoco since living in Minnesota just wouldn't be the same without Prince. His impromptu parties and jams are worth standing in the freezing cold or pouring rain for. And even tho things have slowed down in that respect, there is still hope that he'll pick it up where he left off someday. i think the party the other night was a display of Prince's generous heart and love for his fans. He tried to give us a live jam but things didn't go as planned. Instead, for just a measly $7.00, we were able to enjoy his presence and music and dance in the company of some funky, friendly people. Prince and his magnificent mind had choosen to spend some time with his fans before he leaves the states and i feel nothing but gratitude. i'm hoping that he'll always call Minneapolis his "home" and that when he returns he'll give birth to new versions of his famous 'Minneapolis Sound.' Thank You Prince!!!

More people should say such wonderful things about Prince. He should always be thanked for the good things he's done not downtrodden.

Natasha said:

Thanks Natasha. And for the ppl who are worried about the $7.00 to join in the party, PLEASE remember there are lots of employees and expenses to pay that make it possible for us to be there.

you're right MZFLASH. thank you prince. it WAS generous of you to throw a party and invite us. i truly appreciate the positivity you've brought to my life over the years and i hope your light never stops shining

thanks for the review johnny

too bad Funkbunny didnt "hop" on stage to do a number or 2...maybe next time...

...unless he gotta go and get a cheeseburger down the road or sumfin...

speaking of cheeseburgers, we went to perkins after (along with a bunch of other paisley die hards) and man, the looks on the faces of the kitchen staff when they saw all these funked out weirdos pulling into their restaurant . . .

i mean, so much for an easy night workin at perkins. heh

What do you expect for $7. That's like £4.00 english pounds!

I've paid $100 per night to see him in London.

There was no mention of a performance at NPGMC, just a 'Dance Party'.

Really,people are so chaep! $7.oo? Go to get a Hamburger is right! Cheap Morons complaining like Prince needs your lousy $7.oo! He is so generous and you complain over Trifle ,Strife Bullshit? He should leave Minneapolis and never return then you'd be crying! Then you'd appreciate him. That's just so Ungrateful. What Slobs! What Cows! What Pigs to Say such a Thing! How Dare you Complain about something he never promised and Try to make him feel Bad! Sometimes he plays sometimes he doesn't. Nothing was written in Stone...

those fuckers at Perkins are slow as hell. nobody even came to bring us water, let alone take an order for over an hour after one of the Celebration shows. I threw an empty cigarette pack on their lawn in protest
