Is 10 million dollars doable though

its true...we could really do it and I think Prince's fans would actually take care of it and appreciate it more

XxAxX ur in charge of all things "Princey"

CalhounSq and Babynoz gonna be at the front desk regulating cuz no bullshit is allowed at the Park

One last thought even if its not put up for sale we could use the money to give Prince a nice fan memorial and hire some folks who actually worked with him

They could perform at the reopening ceremony of Paisley Park.

It's too bad that the rumor circulating now is that Trump is going to buy it and put a casino there.

Wish I could afford it! Would love to contribute! Like others have posted on here, I think the state of Minnesota and/or legal factors would come to turn it into a museum or something of the like.

You're so wicked, suomynona. I thought he was going to make it the club house for his next golf course.

I'm moving to another planet.I'm too through with earthlings for letting it happen.

Buying property like this, is like buying a second hand Ferrari. It may seem fun and affordable at the moment of purchase, but it's the maintenance that will bankrupt you.

this wouldn't solve the entire tax bill, but what if XYZ Corporation arranged to lease paisley park for a fee for three days - labor day weekend - at the end of august for a prince celebration??

obtain permission from the estate. offer cash up front fee.

invite: alan leeds, susannah melvoin, sheila e, and kirky j hypothetically to be our advisors coordinators? would they even be interested?

the three day event would involve:

outside:

colorful moroccan style tents set up on the grounds of paisley park for sponsors including local music merchants and other investors, food vendors and for individual artists/musicians to promote and sell their work.

price of admission to include purple discount coupons for out of town folks, featuring reduced prices at local hotels, restaurants, car rental, gas stations etc. - sponsors donate to the prince celebration

kid friendly event, so face painting, juggling, snack kiosks and such in fenced-off front portion of PP grounds. EM personnel on standby throughout.

along the eastern side of the grounds electric rennaissance fair style offerings such as troubadours wandering the grounds playing funk, busking.

small band shell for live shows? lease the parking lot across the street for live bands? block party on audubon road

shuttle bus tours and transport

in back of PP purple paddleboat rides on the lake or not.

inside:

9a - 12p 1p - 4p daily tours of paisley park

multiple touch and play kiosks with clips of prince performances

purple rain, UTCM, GB showing all day in L41A room. air conditioned 'quiet spot' for kids and parents. pillows on floor. finding nemo??

friday, saturday and sunday schedules:

9a - 12p, 1p - 4p - three hour seminars on recording and production basics in each recording studio. student pre-enrollment required. seminars led by former bandmates, class projects debut on sunday/final night dance party?

9a - 12p, 1p - 4p - instrumental/vocal music lessons by prince bandmates (various rooms in PP? soundstage?) general enrollment

6p - 9p kid friendly dance party - local DJs

9p - 2a artists showcases - live performances from prince bandmates

saturday night tribute party?

Is it just me or does anybody else get the vibe that someone has put a whole lot of thought into this?

i actually did sit around a while. thinking of it. it's not impossible, we could do this a few different ways.

as a one-off prince three day celebration

as a monthly series of classes

as a weekend party place

the thing is, how can paisley park be sold just poof? to satosfy some imaginary debt (the alleged estate tax which how in the effity eff do they even know what the value of the estate is and how have they calculated taxes??) anyway the idea ofprince's stuff bgeing sold in a fire sale is too depressing to consider.

Guuurl......

The way these mugs carry on around here they can't even disagree about an album without almost coming to blows. Imagine if they tried to do anything involving money? Woudn't be long before somebody ended up in jail.

I've felt better over these last few weeks because I've seen so many people in his world that love him that have far more influence. And despite what the tabloids want to present with battles over the estate there's no infighting. At least for now things are ok. A lot of work for those involved but right now its ok.

i know. but how is it that, seven weeks after his passing, the government has 1) decided a rough estimate of 300 million valuation for prince's estate already, without having performed valuations of any kind; 2) determined that half of that amount will be due as estate taxes next january; 3) is working with bremer making plans to sell prince's assets to satisfy this debt? seven weeks after his passing? already? i wonder who or what is pushing things along
