Mixed Blood Theatre’s previously planned 40th anniversary gala at Paisley Park Studios will go on as scheduled on May 14.

“Prince wanted this event to happen and, after working with the great folks at Paisley Park, we feel good about it being that space,” said theater managing director Amanda White Thietje. “We are honored to have been one of the organizations chosen by him and intend to honor his spirit.”

Tickets are $175, and there's an afterparty at $40 a head afterwards.

I'm wondering who the "great folks at Paisley Park" are, and what the afterparty is all about.

Personally, I'm not ready to go to Paisley Park. This has been devastating to me.
