I've started to do those facial expressions because of him

Lets keep it going.

There must be many others who have a story to tell about meeting Prince.

Anyone??

OK. Here's mine. I wrote about this years ago here under the 1985 events, etc. sticky (and that's my picture of the invite, napkins, and news clipping that I sent the org above)

Anyway, I was lucky to attend two of Princes parties in Mpls. The most memorable was P's birthday party in 1985 at the Prom Center in St. Paul. A friend of mine worked at the Flower Shop that did the flowers for the events (Bobby Z's mom worked there also) and that's how there was an invite.

Anyway, my friend knew I was a huge fan (he was NOT, and thought P was gay). I was in such shock and awe that I don't think I could absorb it all (plus I wasn't completely sober) but I had a blast. I was too freaked to eat, but I remember food stations that represented different countries (Around the World in a Day LP) and that Prince was dressed as a pirate sort of. He had on a billowy shirt and tight legging type pants. (I was dressed as a slut/heram girl!) But I remember a girl with a dropdead figure wearing only a sheer white lace skintight bodysuit, so I probably wasn't dressed too slutty! Anyway, I got close to the stage and remember thinking..."I wonder if he wears underwear"!

Great music, high energy. Long night short, it was announced that he was leaving. I saw all these people running for the front hoping to touch him or something. I decided to run out the back. Didn't know where the back was, but I ran! I found a door that led outside and just kinda stood there. Wondering if I was locked out. I didn't have my purse, only the invite. I heard the door opening and ducked down as I figured it was security coming to arrest me or something.

A big guy was first so I stayed hidden, BUT BEHIND HIM WAS PRINCE! I jumped up and said "HI!" and he jumped, as did his bodyguard. I asked if he'd sign my invite. He pulled out a purple sharpie and did! I just stood there like an idiot trying to think of what to say. I was appalled when all that came out of my mouth was "are you wearing underwear?" He looked surprised and said "Yes, are you?" I said "yes". I was so embarassed I just turned around and went back inside!

If I could only turn back time!

***first time poster**** I met Prince after his show, on December 16, 1997, in Ames Iowa, I was only 22, looked younger than that, I'm Mexican American 5'4 and at the time very thin, anyway I say all this to give inquiring minds an idea of what I looked like. My best friend and I got tickets because we were (are) huge fans of his music. Never crossed my mind that I'd ever meet him, mainly because of the age difference. I had no idea how old his current wife was, or that he preferred females even younger than me. 😳 So this was "The Jam of the Year" tour. We had seats midway back from the stage on the first level upper section on the right side of the arena. A good distance away from the stage, while Prince was performing my friend kept saying that he's looking at you, I at the time was eating nachos (we had smoked b4 the show) and basically thought she was paranoid and or tripping. But a short while later a man who looked like he was with his security, had a head set on, black suit, motioned me to come speak with him, he was on the floor level, I was confused, like me? why? What did I do? So I went down to where he was and he said, " the man wants you in the front row, to see you better". I was like are you sur? Then he said yeah I'm sure, kinda rude... So I said let me talk to my friend, I told her, she basically pushed me and said, "gooooooo". It was towards the end of the show, I did, and while I was there Prince didn't look at me once. I thought that was awesome and the lights came up people began to disperse, then I was approached a second time by the same man with instructions to the after party. We arrive at the after party, it's packed, Prince arrived later, was up in a balcony area, My friend and I were lead up to there. He wasn't were we were but he slowly made his way towards me, he was strutting had a cane. So he walks up to me asks my name, we make small talk, my friend and I were buggin out, she was chewing gum and he said "you're gums gonna fall out of your mouth". Then she tried to call her mom to tell her she was standing next to Prince, he grabbed the phone and said "Your Daughter wanted me to say Hi". This was so long ago I don't remember everything said but he did whisper in my ear that when everyone is gone "he wanted to see me dance for him". At the time I was like Ok... But had no idea what he meant. He then walked off began mingling. Later when the party ended, a few of us and his people/band members were there, and females were trying really hard to be noticed by him, it was funny, he sat perched up on a ledge just watching. I was amused by it all, then out of no where I turned and looked around and he was gone. So again my thoughts were, well that was awesome. On our way out I was stopped by a guy in his band, he asked if I knew of any good breakfast places. And Asked if he could get my cell # to call me for directions. I said sure gave him my number and my friend and I got in her car, it was a forest green Mazda. As we were pulling out of the lot my cell rang from a private number, I answered with "who's this?" to which he said "who do you want it to be?". I was like "Prince?" He said "I see you leaving in the green car". He asked me to come back and come on his bus, I said which one he said "the purple one". 😳He said me only, no friend, so I did, as I walked on he was standing alone with his back to me, he was holding an altoid box, he popped one in his mouth as he turned around, I asked for one he said "whatchu know about altoids?" lol. I was all... Uh ? But gave me one. I remember there being 'enya like' music playing, he gave me a tour of the Bus, in the Back was a round shaped bed with his symbol on it. One of those diamond ear jewelry pieces was laying on the bed, he quick snatched it as though he didn't want me to take it. 😄 I don't remember much of the conversation except he said they were going to leave soon, I said "wait so you guys aren't getting breakfast?" He said "you can stay and cook me breakfast, oh wait pretty girls can't cook". 😑 I was all... Uh.. He is too much. But I was truly in a heightened sense of excitement, he had a definite magical aura about him. Eventually his people came on board saying they were bout to pull out leave, he asked if I wanted to go with him to the next city, I said I didn't have clothes, my friend is waiting... Then I said wait "aren't you married?" He responded with "don't ask about my personal life". I Was like okee... And with that I started to make my way off the bus, on my way out he said my first and last name, and asked is if that was right? (I had only gave my name to one of his people to get on the list for the after party) I was shocked, like how does he know? I said yes that's my name, he said I want to see you at my next show in Indiana in a red dress, and he'd be In touch. So I left thinking wow that was one of the coolest things I've experienced and left it at that. A few weeks pass, (at the time I had been on and off again with my bf) then someone saying he was his manager called asking if I was interested in seeing Prince, I said yes but I can't because I had just found out I was pregnant. Dude tried to convince me I should have an abortion, that I was too young and my life would be messed up. I just ignored him and said goodbye man. Then like a week passed he called again from a show you could actually hear Prince playing in the background, my boyfriend answers and told him never to call back. So that was my personal experience with the legend that is Prince. Looking back I'm glad it was that, I'm not a female that can be told what to do, and when he quick commanded me to not ask him about his personal life, but obviously wanted to hook up with me, I knew I wouldn't make it past go anyway with his international playboy self. I can appreciate him as a fan not a groupie 🙂. But I did give it a try in 2001, my friend and I ventured up to the Twin cities, to see a "The Celebration Tour". I had thought well he's single now, why not (try to holler)? But as we got there I found out he was engaged to Manuela. But as fans that didn't matter. At the show we found out about the "paisley park weekend event" that was that weekend, it included a tour of the Paisley Park, that was cool, (I got to take a picture on one of his motorcycles from graffiti bridge) and pajama party later that night, well that nite the Air conditioning wasn't working in the performance space (this was June in Minnesota...) folks were all smelly, there was no alcohol. So we were gonna leave, then Prince got onstage to apologize, and to make up for the problem he was going to take us all to the movies, and that since he was a minority we would see "Minority Report" and to "follow his little whit car". Which was a bmw z3 I believe. We all convoyed to some Near by theater that he rented out. He came in with Manuela, I remember seeing Sheila E, they got popcorn and disappeared into a private theater. I lived near to MN and met another local really pretty Latina Carmen Electra Esque looking chick who actually hooked up with him sexually, around 2002, she was a hot mess of a chick too. That being said, seeing how he went through a gang of women playing and controlling them all, I know I'm not special for him being light weighty interested in me for that second😉, but glad I had that experience. He was a beyond awesome artist and True Super Star!! The one celebrity that I've met that lived up to his hype and my expectations! 💜☔️

Wow! After the let down of realizing Cienna's post was B.S. (and your story I DO believe), you must (!) give us a glimspe into what your friend said about the sexual encounter with Prince!

Am I the only girl on here that is curious how he was in bed???

On a side note: I did believe Ciena a bit! While reading it; I was kind of glad to think "what a jerk P was" as that makes this easier I think.

Anyone have any stories that he's not painted in such a great light?

I'm skeptical of this -- she says it's 1997 but she's talking about cells phones? I mean, I know cell phones were around but I don't think they were that ubiquitious.

Some celebs manage to avoid (any or additional) debasement and humiliation of even their 'groupies'. It is possible for even a rock star to behave with a semblance of class and decency.

Well I wouldn't exactly judge the man based on the stories here, you obviously have to take them with a grain of salt.

Thats how I feel.

Im sure there's the possibility such stories may be real, as said sometimes truth stranger than fiction.

But there would have to be plenty people that have their fantasies too.

Yup had a cell phone, it was the equivalent of a burner, it was a Nokia. But by all means be skeptical.... The female I mentioned that hooked up with him never went into too much detail with me about hooking up with him, let me just be honest. We were Adult entertainers. Not when I met Prince, but after, anyway the female I mentioned lived in Minneapolis (I lived in Iowa), we both worked at a club called Sheiks, she was a friend of a female I traveled with when we went up there to work. Well my friend knew I had met Prince and the other female brought up how she was seeing/messing with Prince. Mind you my friend was f-ing A-rod at the time, I was seeing another celebrity X-boyband person, so this wasn't what would be considered a big deal, just me saying yeah I met him too, I didn't think anything of it then. Since he has passed, I as fan been online and reading and wanted to share. Sad to say I have no pictures from that night, sorry. ✌🏽️&❤️Though. Bye bye Org- [Edited 5/15/16 4:20am]

Yes and It is very sad towards the end, leaving her in the middle of London ALONE finding her way home for hours.

After I read this story I was curious enough to search her org name and turns out it's EnigmaGirl.

Did you ask her was the story true ??

No but from the looks of her profile she hasn't posted anything in years so i doubt she'll answer.
even her tumblr blog is deleted so.

I have mixed feelings for this now. It feels almost believable but then someone pointed out another 'story' about MJ by that girl's friend. hard to tell what's legit or not.

And here comes the most amazing thing ever...while playing guitar, He opens his mouth and a transparent hard candy comes flying out of his mouth and lands in my hair with bits of his saliva. I automatically pull it out of my hair while I screw up my face, it bounces of the stage and lands on the floor. The girls standing by the stage shove each other for it then one wins the war. She grabs it from the floor and puts it in her mouth. Ok, back track...right when I'm pulling the candy out of my hair, Prince bends down closer to me touches my head and says "sorry" then goes on playing guitar, heading back to the mic.

thanks! i laughed til my stomach hurt

I laughed hard too, was super funny - and I cannot believe someone would pick up the candy and EAT it - YUCKY !!!!!

I have no personal stories about Prince. Growing up in the St. Paul and working in Minneapolis in the nightclub scene for a decade ofcourse everyone has an interesting "Prince" story. In fact I worked with people who worked for Prince in some way or another or even girls who dated/hooked up with him. He was certainly a staple in the Mpls scene. I loved Prince stories! I had a huge crush on him growing up and people in my life all knew what a fan I was so they were happy to share their Prince story but never got to meet him personaly..only saw him in concert. I wish I could remember all the Prince stories I've heard over the years to share but I'd really have to think about them. He was aloof though.

Once in 1997 I do remember accidentily walking into something the NPG was filming at the Union Depot Building downtown St. Paul as a teenager, I was going to get lunch at this place I always did on my break from school and was like ten feet away from Mayte (omg she was SO beautiful in person too much more beautiful than any picture I've seen of her and she had on a blue dress) and I remember seeing Michael Bland chatting with a few people. I can only assume P was lurking somewhere but didn't see him. This bodyguard dude came up and started questioning me about why I was there and I was like perplex like Wth is going on today??? When I saw Mayte I was like to the bodygaurd "OMG that is Prince's wife!" He was like "Yep. It is. Can I help you?" I pretty much figured out he wanted me to leave so I got lunch somewhere else that day.

I remember the day Prince died Tony Fly (local DJ) on Vibe 105 spent the whole day playing Prince music and sharing stories and people called in with their Prince stories. It was very emotional and my heart ached listening to it thinking....how sad it was that he won't just be popping up in Mpls at the most random times...I wish I had somehow recorded that radio show...couldn't listen to all of it but listened to what I could in the car running my errands that day. People were so in shock, it was very emotional around here in the Twin Cities...

He starts to sound more and more like a dick from these stories.
