The Egg building at Paisley

Did anyone ever find out what that new building Prince built shaped like an egg is for?

We were told it was to be a digital recording studio, when we were there for the Celebration last year.

I know you're kidding, however when a person becomes a vegetarian/vegan they meanit 100% (Esp. if they become a vegetarian coz of the animals).. So I'm pretty sure thats there's no chicken or ribs in that building!!... wink

It's a place where food is grown and given to the community of Paisley Park.

This is not true. They converted the existing studio to digital as I remember talking to the team they flew in from California to do the job (It took a long time) at Perkins.

The new building was going to be a restaurant and Prince changed his mind and it remains unfinished and empty to this day.

I think he should at least finish the outside of the building so that it doesn't just sit there like a half-finished ruin being exposed to rain and snow.

Techs were brought in to set-up Pro Tools and tune the studio.

Thanks for the clarification.
