Anyone else go to the Paisley Park garage sale in 2000? Did anyone else here go to the Paisley Park garage sale back in 2000? (Or was it 1999?) That was fucked up. The like took FOREVER. I was seriously waiting to ring out for hours. They kept playing Girl 6 and I think Come on repeat. Just that same music. Everyone was grumpy. Lots of old posters. Symbol tambourines. A few cool relics like the SOTT stage backdrop and the barber's chair (?) from the dressing room scenes in Purple Rain. My big score was a handful of copies of Gold Nigga with the deleted track Guess Who's Knockin? I sold them all for several hundred dollars over the years since then. If you went, what was your impression of that event? What did you buy? How did you not kill yourself while waiting in line forever? "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

this sounds so cool what sort of stuff was on sale? was it actually in a paisley park garage or was the stuff put on display to sell somewhere else, how many people went?
it seems like the very late ninties, early 2000's there was a lot of hardcore fan centred stuff with a celebration, one nite alone soundchecks etc. do you think prince will ever do this stuff again? I'm feeling a bit fammy™ | |

We lived in Minnesota at the time and we went!! It had a carnival atmosphere to it!! I brought a few T-shirts, The Neo Manifesto Book, some unreleased cassettes(the Karma Sutra being one of them), all for about $50+!!!
I remember when we parked, a couple drove past and wondered what on earth was going on there, they must have been locals or something, and when we told them it was a Yard Sale, they were really shocked!!
The reason he had the Yard Sale was that he was cleaning out all the old 1-800-New-Funk stock!! | |

Here's part of an article about it. http://www.highbeam.com/d...59115.html It was a very strange experience. Very cool, but the long lines became my lasting memory.  Mani was definitely working the cash register for part of the day. Also, no food. I was STARVING by the time I left. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner can wait.

Wish I could have gone to this sale. Do you recall what stage prop it was from SOTT?
