You know you are an old school fan when....

You try to find that 12" of Deborah Allen's Telepathy you are certain you bought in '87

You have every album from For You - Lovesexy in LP AND CD.

Your SOTT is in 2 jewel boxes.

Your ATWIAD CD is NOT in a jewel box

You have 2 CDs of 1999 (1 with DMSR, 1 w/o), 2 Batman (1 batcan, 1 reg),

a gold foiled Symbol CD package.

You have around 10 Musicology giveaways CDs but never bought the regular release

"downloaded" 3121 probably do the same for PE.

You went to Prince's 1st concert in Philadelphia when Rick James and Tina Marie were the headliners and nobody came to see Prince they all were there for Rick!

You almost missed your cue on a local news show because you were hip-mo-tized watching Little Red Corvette on MTV.

I don't know, it's been so long ago. I would imagin we were both young, free spirits at the time. Not a care in the world! I do remember other people saying that we were crazy or stupid for wanting to do that. I'm sure that probably influenced us to not go through with it. You get older, responsibilities set in and you start to think that these are just wild and crazy ideas. Oh, to be back in my 20's again....I wish I would have gone for it!!! Anyway, in 2004 I wanted to see Prince on his Musicology tour. All my family and friends didnt want to go because of family obligations or busy etc. I said to hell with that and flew off to Las Vegas by myself to see "my man"!!! It was almost 20 years later than our origional plans...but better late than never I say!!! lol
