 Unlike myself who had to settle for a nosebleed seat 
So tell me about the magic up close as you remember it  Can't wait to read your stories  Utrecht, sign o the times 1987. Before the concert we were hiding from the rain, just at the entrance where a big car stopped. Out came Prince! Distance must have been something like 1 meter or so. Almost missed him though, I am 1.90 meter, so I had to look down a bit | |

backstage? ooohhh now thats worth being jealous of!!! who'd u meet? what was it like? Its not all its cracked up to be. Unless their is an offical bash, you don't get to see much. Prince was still surrounded by bodyguards. I spent more time talking to Levi, who I'd got to meet a few weeks earlier at Paisley Park. Before I went to the show with the backstage pass, I had visions of being able to walk past his open dressing room door, and in my best Jerome voice...say to him..."That was fucked up what you did man". . |

Ha, ha! That picture has prompted me to tell a story!!!! On one of the nights of the Nude tour me and my sister had tickets at the back and took these massive binoculars with us. We met up with other Controversy members before the show where Eileen Murton noticed our binoculars. She immediately offered to swap her front row seats with us as she said she had been at the front too many times to mind, and off we ran screaming our heads off!!! The thing is did we still use the binoculars????? Well my sister did - and I'm telling you now that she wasn't using them to focus on his face!!!!!
(hahahaha, she's gonna kill me if see's this -   )Life's a Parade! LoveLife, LoveSexy! | |

No not really. I can't be a fam. I've got all his music, and I didn't write him a poem, take him a rose, or try to touch him when he walked past! . |

So what would you call someone who would want to straddle him if he walked past her? [Edited 4/15/08 9:06am] | |

Well, I've gotten pretty close at a after party, n D.C "One Nite Alone With Prince" He was very relax looking, having a drink n the Vip, Looking absolutely gorgeous, but his phine self, was behind glass, but u could see every single detail to that man! U guys, "I tried my hardest" to get behind that glass, that nite but hey, I was to phine to be let in, because Prince was with a lady friend at the time, I understand! lol....( I do know he notice me, how could he not, I was wearing a custom made Prince outfit, "The only one wearing something like that!" "He saw" It's morally impossible, 4 him not to have seen me! "I saw him, he saw me, it's just that simple!
