FUCK PAISLEY PARK who has wasted 90,000.00 on PRINCE there? When is he gonna CARE about ME? When is he gonna Care about his FANS? NO NEVER! He should come to NYC! I'm sick of his UPPIDITY ATTITUDE.

Pop a Zanax...

I don't take drugs. He Sucks for not playing when I was there. I hold this against him. I will always hold stuff against him. He's not POLITICALLY CORRECT and he OFFENDS ALOT OF PEOPLE and HE"S WRONG IF HE WANTS US TO GIVE HIM MONEY AND RESPECT. HE should RESPECT US and GIVE US MORE!!!!

I am sure he is clueless to who you are.

Oh hell no!


I've heard stories from people who've attended these things that they were made to do some of the stupidest shit imaginable (dance offs with no music, playing weird games, and conversations that made certain folks uncomfortable).



I think meeting up close with fans is a great thing. And seeing Prince up close while performing is awesome.

But he should do it in a venue like the Rio in Vegas or something where he has to sign a CONTRACT so #1) he's required to perform on schedule and #2) fans can adequately voice grievances if something is wrong.

Plus if you fly out to Minneapolis to see Prince, and you are disappointed, what the fuck else are you going to do? In Vegas you can go catch a show instead. You have options, and Prince has to compete with those.

I don't meant to sound negative, but whenever Prince is given full control over a situation, weird shit always comes down. He didn't direct Purple Rain--He did direct Graffiti Bridge.

No I wouldn't go if he did another celebration.

I would've liked to have gone, but going from one country to another costs big bucks.

On another note, I don't know who this "nastyarse" is, but he's crackin me up with that sig!

Yes, and yes.

I'd love for him to revive the yearly Celebrations. I went to the 2002 Celebration and it was fantastic..and even the parts of that week that weren't absolutely fantastic were, at least, interesting .

I wish there would be a Paisley Park party every now and again, too. I was able to go to a handful of those, and seeing him perform in that setting was really incredible. Even the parties where he didn't end up playing were a good time just because of the atmosphere and the chance to peoplewatch and be inside PP.

Yes!

My experience was cool. Within an hour of being on the grounds the first day - he performed a quick daytime mini set for whoever was there. Later that night - I said "thank you" to, and shook hands with, George Clinton (which although just a hallow encounter - was something I never thought I would do in my lifetime).

I saw Terry Lewis playing bass in a "live" jam situation - which you don't see everyday. Performances from Prince, Clinton (with Maceo), and Amel Larreaux were all part of the deal for like $75. ...Plus I toured his studios, saw cool memorabilia, was introduced to the music of Nikka Costa, and was able to buy some Paisley Park merchandise not readily available to a guy from California.

I tell my friends about it to this day as one of the best experiences of my lifetime.

Nothing will top the 2002 Celebration.

I think I missed my opportunity....I should have gone in 2002 - a week long event would have been worth it for the expense to travel from NZ, but nowdays I have more important things to do with my $$$.... I've seen a 'spectacular show' (D&P, Sydney 1992), a 'hits formula' show (in Sydney 2003) and a small 'private' show (middle front show at the soundcheck 2003) and stood within 2 feet of Prince at the afterparty....it would have to be something different to get me to open my wallet again...maybe if his next tour is based on the NPG Trio show at the Indigo in 2007 I'd spend up...but nah, the days of wild' seem to be over

of course given the right circumstances I could change my mind!

I think you really need to start taking something.

One time, Prince made all of us disrobe and check each other for ticks.

Or the time he had a "pyjama party" type thing(was he trying 2 b like Jacko??? ) and the air conditioner broke down or something at PP and it was so hot and he called up the local movie theater to open up and had everyone follow him down there and him and the fans took over the local movie theater!! I cant remember which film everyone watched though!!!!

Also, did anyone ever go 2 that Paisley Park Yard Sale??? That was a real trip!!!!!

Aaaaaahhhh, those were the days!!!!!

It was Minority Report.

nastyarse said:

I believe those stories relate to the Rainbow Children group discussions at one of the Celebrations, not the PP parties.

Sure, I'd love 2 go.
