i was driving by paisley park...

ok. this is semi-creepy/stalkerish, but i live in minnesota so i have an excuse.

anyway. i was driving home tonight and happened to be driving by paisley park. i figured nothing would be going on b/c it is a sunday night. however as i drove by i saw two people getting out of a limo (one being the driver) and the other maybe a bodyguard. so i of course freaked out and whipped a u-turn at the next light and sped back toward paisley park but the limo had left. so i whipped another u-turn and sped up to get behind the limo. it ended up turning into the taco bell parking lot and the driver got out to go inside to get food.

so i went and sat in another parking lot and thought to myself-there is no way prince eats taco bell or would he allow the driver to leave him sitting in the limo for an extended period of time while he went and ate a cheesy gordita crunch.

so i went back and drove around PP, but obviously couldn't see anything.

sorry this story really isn't that exciting but i really think he was there. i read somewhere that he comes back to mn once a week. hopefully someday i'll actually see him getting out of the limo and hopefully won't cause an accident if that really happens.

I'm not sure how many national acts record there - unless they are already in town for something else - MN is fairly obscure place for someone to fly out to just for a recording session. So, I'm hoping it was P! cool

I hate the fire stuff...for the animals that are losing their homes...and the air..and...I really worry about the whole dang state. I remember...living there, and seeing brown air all of the time...and everybody was so used to it...they woud say..."don't worry, it will burn off by noon." I thought...gross.

I really think you should have gone into Taco Bell yourself lol
I'm being a bit facetious, but I don't find this story unbelievable.

At least in the past Prince always went to the grocery stores, restaurants,
etc in Chanhassen....people were used to him seeing him there, and they always
gave him space and didn't gawk at him. He felt very comfortable with that.

In another words people were used to seeing him and accepted him as another
ordinary person. Hard to believe he'd be eating Taco Bell however, so maybe
it was another celebrity lol
