I met him in the bathroom at First Avenue wink Nah, Seriously, I know Shelby Johnson's father. He owns the janitorial service that cleans the place where I work. He's met him a few times and has had nothing but good things to say about him. But it's mostly stuff that's already been said, like "he's shy at first, has a really good sense of humor", ect.

Wow I would love to dance next to him in a club! I cant imagine how he would dance though, cos he wouldnt be able to bust the moves that he does on stage!!

Ok, im going back to London today so if I succeed in meeting Prince myself I will post my story on here eek)

A friend of mine was Prince's driver during his visits to The Netherlands. I once called him and heard Prince on the background asking "a call for me?" and my friend answered "no, it's a girlfriend", when Prince laughed "shame she's not here, we could have a party".

And in 1986, 1988 (2 times), 1990 and 2002 I was in front of the stage during Prince's concerts, where we had eyecontact.

But that's all... biggrin
I love Prince and chocolate - in that order

I've posted this story on here before, so in case anyone is sick of reading it, I'll give the drastically abridged version:

I went to 3121 Jan 26 and was lucky enough to be right in front of the stage. During Musicology he grabbed my hands while I was clapping and danced with me from the stage (he didn't have to reach far I stand 6'1" tall). He looked me in the eye the entire time and I was so embarrased I wanted to turn away. I was trying to talk to him and put he his hand around his ear and bent down to hear me, but the music was too loud.

I got so excited I started jumping up and down. He thought I was trying to get onstage, so he was trying to pull me up (and couldn't). So I got myself on the stage and we did the bump (I was the only one up there).

He smiled and gave me the what's up when I went back the next night. I really wished I could've talked to him--but what was I going to say? At least I touched his hands.

Does this count?

One time,
when I went to the airport,
I met that one "Rico Suave" guy.
He asked me if there was any film in my luggage or if it was locked.
I told him no.



Apologetically,
lemme just say that
when it comes to helping this thread to move forward,
that's the best that I have to contribute.

I was 19 the first time I saw him in concert. He called me on stage, I said no. The girl beside me went instead and never came back.

The end.

Um, no.

I won't go into detail about the last time I saw him and what happened there.

It still makes me crack up.

A friend of mine was standing in line at a super-walmart and said that Prince was holding up the entire line arguing with the Cashier about the price of the beef here in Tampa. (Apparently it's cheaper up north rolleyes )

I have a cousin who met Prince @ Glam Slam LA. My cousin was a Raiderette @
the time. P was hosting a B-day bash for Magic Johnson. My cousin was dancing w/
some friends, when a man approached her and asked" Do you know who owns this club?" She replied "Yes, Prince. He then said " My boss wants to meet you"
She was escorted to P's VIP booth. P told her that he had been watching her all
night and wanted to meet her. My cousin told Prince that I was big fan of his
and that i would die if i knew she had met him. P replied" You better no tell him cuz I don't want to be resposible for his death"

They exchanged phone numbers. Prince paged her and talked w/ her on the phone for two weeks. He asked her out on a date. He said he was going to rent out a
movie theatre so they could watch a movie w/ just the two of them.

My cousin was just 20yrs old @ the time. She thought he was kind of creepy.
He kept insisting on going out with her. She never went out with him.

He wanted her to be in a music video. It was the Gold Experince video.
If you have watched it , The girl in the video looks just like my cousin.

Well who knows, If they would have hit it off, he would have been part of my family.

eek ...falloff
no,your cousin is smart...this was the Gold Experience era!!!He was tryna hit and quit that nod lol


giggle He would b 2 hard to resist regardless! U're cousin was lucky!

I also have another story that doesn't involve me, but I've always liked it:

Back in 1978 Prince was doing promotion for Soft and Wet and he made a stop at a now closed San Francisco record store. My friend was 14 at the time and Prince was signing "Soft and Wet" 45s.

While he was signing hers, she asked if she could give him a kiss on the cheek.
He looked up at her, but didn't respond. She went ahead gave him a quick peck on the cheek and she said all he did was look up and smirk at her, like he couldn't believe she did that. But he still didn't say anything.

I always thought that was such a cute story.

That's nice you got to meet him, it is a experience you will carry with you for along time. He is shorter than me to, I saw him at the Nude concert after party at Paisly Park some years ago, he walked past me, I had flats on,( I am 5'5") he was shorter than me. Let me guess he smelled like some kind of insence??
