Yeah, I think Dr.F. jumped the gun a bit this time.

Great question indeed. I hope to God that there will be something for the fans in all of this. I'm hoping for the Aftershow. It'll be perfect cause I have to go on a trip to Maine Saturday morning so I'm hoping I can get "funked up" before I go. I hope ALL MY NEW YORKER FRIENDS AND FANS can get up in there cause we've been needing him for a long time. Fingers and toes crossed and lots of prayers going out for this one.

Well, it's nice to know P is coming to NYC anyway, even if it turns out to be a private event that doesn't involves fans.

Well for one thing, it's just a rumor at this point--not confirmed. They don't usually "sticky" rumors.

Secondly, there are a lot of non-NYC/tri-state area fans to whom this doesn't pertain. Stickies usually seem to appeal to the majority of the fanbase, not just one city (unless it is a huge thing like 21 nights or Las Vegas. The assumption at this point is that this is a one off(?) show, not an extended stay.

Finally, this thread probably shouldn't even be in this forum, it should be in the concert section.

Well alrighty then. I'm sure sooner or later a mod would have appeared to let us know.

Funkenberry wrote an update to his NY thing:

Update: Things may have changed in a matter of a few hours yesterday and the Friday date may be wrong now with that change, but both events previously discussed, i.e. a book release party and an afterparty for fans will be happening at this time. Make no mistake, when our NY contact advised of us of a performance on Friday, it was true at the time and posted in good faith. The number one most important thing right now is NY should be seeing Prince soon.-Dr.FB

I hope it stays for Friday or next week and not this weekend. I have trip I have to go on and I will be bummed knowing that he was here and I wasn't. I praying for a miracle right now

2elijah said:

I feel that way to a certain extent. I just feel like he should do something for us but I also understand that shit happens and if it doesn't happen like that, then it doesn't but it sure would suck.

We need a 31 Nights residency here I just hope NYC itself would make it work for Prince.

Don't tell me what I can or cannot say or ask on this site. You need to check yourself. You chose to respond to my post, and there was nothing in my response to you that was offensive. If you are that damn sensitive about what I post here, then ignore it. Life will go on regardless.

Please re-read my post. No where did I tell you what you could or couldn't say. I simply pointed out that asking questions normally invoke answers, and if you wanted to limit those who 'answered' perhaps you would be better off to ask them directly, in private. [Snip - luv4u]

Whatever, I don't have time for your childish nonsense, moving on.

Hope you get to see him if he does open this to fans. I know you have been waiting for Prince to come to NYC, so maybe you'll finally get your wish to see him perform and hopefully other fans will too.

31 nights of the same greatest hits shit? come on cam this is NYC and we ain't going 4 that!!!

!!!

This isn't gonna be a residency.

Well you don't have to go then Freddy. Someone who hasn't seen Prince from the NYC area can see Prince do those shows for the 1st time while you come here and complain about it again. Whatever the case, I hope to be there.
