I was watching the Mel B interview with P, and the playground looks like it is in the place where the big round building is now? When was the big round building built? Did he move the playground? When I saw P.P. the playground looked like it was directly to the left of the parking lot. In the interview it looks further back where the big round building is now located? Anyone know?

I thought I heard something about Timberwolf cages in the backyard.

That doesn't sound like a fun playground!

I remember seeing the playground taken down and in a pile on the side of PP during the 2001 celebration. That is around the same time the ugly egg building was being built.

Yup. It was so sad to see that.

Please tell us about the celebrations at PP ... I have never been to them.. too busy with baby and work.

It's a real chill environment. A lot of people walking around, talking, buying things, watching movies on the big screen, listing to un-released music on the loud speaker, touring Paisley Park, playing in the yard...just chillin'. It kind of reminded me of a carnival at a school or a family reunion at a park. At night starting at 10 (if there are two performers) or 12 (for one performer) the concerts started. Prince always came up for about each set for about 1-2 minutes...he either played the guitar or the keyboards. He sang "The Light" with Common. What a great time...I wish he would do it again...
