if at some point we had an org tribute to Prince ourselves at Paisley Park? I mean, we might have to stand outside the fence, or maybe someday if it opens to the public someone might let us do it inside (?) I've never been there. But mostky I wish I could meet other people who feel the way I do. Just picture it. We could wear name tags with our org screen name - or not (?)

That sounds like a good idea. But in order to do that we would have to have time to make travel arrangements, etc. It would be nice if we could do it on April 21, 2017. That would give lots of time for fans traveling to make arrangements. Maybe someone can contact Tyka and maybe ask permission. Maybe they will open the grounds at Paisley Park.

I would!! I went to an org get-together once here in Mpls. CarrieMPLS, Anxy, Dan, a bunch of wonderfully nice people were there!! I was painfully shy and about half a year away from a full on breakdown so I didn't talk much to anyone but would love to attend another, even if it's under sadder circumstances this time around. Prince fans are typically some of the kindest people there are.

I might -- I live in Chicago, so I'm not that far from Minnesota. It would depend on whether I could get away from work or not.

That's amazing! What did you all do, jillybean?

I believe there was a day's worth of activities planned. I was really shy and introverted and anxious and very unsocial (still shocked I went!) so I only met them for lunch. We met at Calhoun Square! I miss Dan so much!! He was the nicest person I ever met here. He sent me a DVD of "Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story," which I still have.

great idea, and the date of 4.21.17 is a good one too.

if planned far enoigh ahead I would go.

i drive by there all the time...i'd go

it would be great to go with other org fams so we we can support each other.

That'd be awesome. I'd go for sure if that ever came about.

I am planning to goto Minneapolis from England when things have settled down, when there is a grave to visit and maybe Paisley Park has been opened up. There is also talk of a 'celebration', so maybe a gig, depends on timing with work, but I will be going.

I was lucky enought to visit Paisley Park in 1991 when a band I managed was considering recording there and I had a meetng with Alan Leeds, I was also working on computer games at the time and was writing a game based around Prince.

Would love to be there and would sell the silver to do it. Really feel that I need to say thank you and goodbuy to him.

i would go

The city of Minneapolis actually has a list of Prince-related landmarks in the city. We could go on a self-guided tour!

I'm game. Count me in.

I'll go to PP if they turn it into a museum

A fan tribute day would be great. Even a convention where we could get to show our collections and trade stuff would be even better. We could even start a go fund me page for it or something and if we had enough money we could rent out a nice space or even hire a few bands. Screw all this televised tribute stuff. We are the only ones who would know how to have a real tribute anyway.

hell no

better off trying to get the 4 films shown in your local theatre...maybe fans pay to have then shown

I definitely intend going to visit Paisley Park, not sure when though, I'm waiting to hear that they open it up as a Prince Museum. I'm in the UK so it'll take a bit of planning and finance.
