I know!!

It gets so fuckin hot out there that he oughta think about resorting back to bikini briefs. Perhaps Prince will be in shorts.

PEJ said:

He should make shorts out of the 4.8 million he's getting paid for this.

PEJ said:

i think these days it would be less like bikini briefs and more like bermuda shorts and a fanny pack. but it would be a gem encrusted fanny pack, no doubt.

That's one hell of an hourly rate! Worth every penny

oh great! another appearance somewhere I can not reach And all we get is Crawfish festival, etoufee festival, rice festival, festival international, jazz festival, zydeco festival, and amungst other festivals and he hasn't come here yet... not fair (pouting)

Sounds great,but so much for Mn huh?? Still

Just a thought but maybe the reason why he got paid so much was because they made a deal over the internet viewings? Maybe it is written into the contract that they are allowed to stream the performance?

The above statement is only a thought and suggestion - I know absolutely nothing about it!

I was never interested in going to this festival, until now. But of course the tickets are sold out.....

I think this will be very interesting. I wonder how the crowd will react, since I have to assume that most are attracted to a certain style of music that doesn't sound half as good as Prince. I have a friend that has gone to this festival because of her musical tastes, and I wouldn't go for free to see the groups that she likes. What do you guys think?

WOW...got my email today....

FYI guys! I've been to about five of these Coachella Festivals and every year as you wait in the long line to the festivals there are plenty, and I mean plenty of people getting rid of tickets. Some at face value and I've had friends who've purchased them for as little as $50 for the one day passes. It's a minimum risk, I think, to drive out there and purchase the tickets from folks outside the festival.

VANITYSprisonBYTCH said:

What about the NPS tour? That was billed as a festival.

WTF if Prince was booked to save this event these greedy fuckers should still have one day passes be on sale but instead they only offer the 3 day $269 dollar passes. But now come to think of it to cover 4.8million they probably had to.

Where is this pic from? Is he posing?

prince had just tried the new taco bell maximum bean burrito, and he had a statement for the press afterwards.

Angelic...he played Essence Festival in 2004 at the Superdome in New Orleans with The Time.... He even snuck in a 1-hour funk/rock set BEFORE his 2+hour set in disguise(black wig,Kung Fu outfit, sunglasses, rolling around on roller skates). He would later return as "Prince" and play with Wendy, Sheila....but the highlight had to be him performing "I Feel For You" and "Sweet Thing" with Chaka Kahn. It was awesome!!!

If Prince should decide to go with bikini brief or disco balled thong at Coachella...let's hope that he manscapes.

TheResistor said:

a four year veteran has gotten in for $10 and others i know got in for free...but $280 for a room at the Super 8 Motel is almost equal to 4.8 million relatively speaking

legna said:

Yeah. Some friends drove in last minute last year just in time to catch Bjork's set. They just walked in...no one at the gate, no questions asked.

How's the camping especially since you aren't supossed to grill. I think i may do this for a day.

Anxiety said:

OH SNAP!!!

Also did the Mill City Music Festival downtown Mpls in 1999 (sorry if this was mentioned, I'm too freakin' tired to read the whole thread)

URTHE1 said:

Did a quick calculation and even with the exhorbitant amount of money i'd have to layout...

$538 - (2) 3 day tickets
$110 - (2) Onsite camping passes
$550 - Tent hotel upgrade
$1198 - Grand Total (not counting gas, food, etc.)

...I considered it for about 30 seconds.


That's how long it took me to realize i'd only really want to be there 1 day.
That's how long it took me to realize that out of the 50+ acts scheduled for Saturday, I might want to see 2? (3 if I really stretched it)
That's how long it took me to realize we'd have to be ready to "cue-up" at 11am to have the possibility of being anywhere near the stage...



...and be ready to hang there all friggin' day in the heat listening to bands I don't care to hear.


More than likely...




...we'd be watching from somewhere around those trees at the rear of the 1st photo.



Watching the streaming video from the comfort of my living room is a more financially sound and hassle free decision.



Now, if I could some how finagle a Press Pass...



...and come and go as I please in this area.

Nah.


If I was a teenager this might be appealing.
At this stage, it's much closer to being appalling.

tA, i think you're making the right choice. braving a festival like coachella really isn't worth it for just one artist, especially if they're going to have an online simulcast.

generally, i think with music festivals, you have to plan out the event well ahead of time, and it helps to go with people who are music festival vets (which you may well be, though i don't remember hearing you talk about any brown acid in the past ).

if i'd heard about this a month or two ago, it's highly likely that i'd go at least for the day. still, between coachella and lollapalooza, i think i made the right choice this year, prince or no prince.

Anxiety said:

You're right. After a certain age, these things have to be approached with caution.

Remind me to tell you...



...my 1970 Strawberry Fields Festival tale (3 days in Canada).

Truer words never spoken!

This is SO crazy. I was just talking to some friends about..."What if Prince shows up at Lolla this year?" No joke.

I HAVE to go to Coachella. I wanted to see him at 3121, but I wasn't old enough yet. Now I'm 21, and I've promised myself that I am GOING to see him live no matter what.

So...I live 3,000 miles away, and I don't have the money for a three-day pass, but I think I can manage a plane ticket. My friend lives less than a mile from the festival, and I'm sure she'd let me crash there.

If someone could help me out...I would do ANYTHING. I live in Chicago and have connections at Lolla. I was able to sneak a couple of my friends in at Lolla 2006. It was SO easy. They got three-day passes for free.

*sigh* This would be a dream-come-true.
