Prince going Geocaching to be one with nature

Good Morning! Now that I have your attention...

My family and I enjoy a game known as geocaching. You may or may not know that geocaching is a world wide game played using a GPS and pre-designated Longitude and Latitude coordinates. You enter the coordinates into your GPS and search for a "treasure", known as a "cache", previously hidden by another geocacher. Once at the cache you trade an item that you brought with you for an item in the cache (also known as "swag").

Some of these tradable items are trackable on the internet by use of a number tag attached. These tagged tradable items are known as Travel Bugs.

What has this got to due with Prince, you ask? I am in the process of creating a Prince travel bug. The TB will be a Prince love symbol with a geocaching trackable dog tag attached. I need to set a goal for this traveling item and decided to make this TB's goal to travel to all places Prince related.

This is where I need your help. Please list for me all places Prince related that you can think of, and I will make them a "goal" for this TB.

There are obvious places such as Paisley Park, Minneapolis, and such. But I know that you Prince fans out there know all the places related to Prince movies, Prince album cover art, Price video shoots, his homes, his temporary homes and anywhere else he's been spotted on a regular basis.

Addresses, landmarks, or Longitude & Latitudes (this can be gotten from Google Earth), can all be used. So, whichever format you prefer, you can send to me.

Either post here, or send me a message if it's something that you don't think should be posted here (i.e. home address).

Thanks for your help!

Hey, I'm an old white housewife and mother of two, it doesn't get any more "nerdy" than that.

How about the O2 in London, and the Las Vegas hotel he performed in?
Are you going to name it the "ATWIAD" Travel Bug?
