Met a nice gal from NY, she is going to the Revolution shows on both days. Really nice. Maybe meet up with her twitter group in April. Starting to freak out and the tears are starting. Where is my DELTA FUNK sorority?

Well my DF family, I am back and let me tell you.....some "Team Prince" middle age folks acted worse than teeny bopper Rocky Horror Picture Show attendees and the majority of them were sitting directly behind us!

Jerome is as friendly and down to earth like he seems in the movies. Jill Jones, she wore some fierce shoes and with her long dark hair was unrecognizable. Loved how she emphasized the racial divide back in the early 80s, how Prince really broke the barriers for Black entertainers and in essence media because there are main stream rolls now because of the film. Apollonia.....I tried to get photos of her for our GH, she looked very good! Poor girl didn't speak too much and she tried to fight back her tears...she also mentioned how controversial a "Mexican American woman kissing an African American man" back in those days was very strongly frowned upon and yep, even in L.A. at the time, I agree!

The costume designer, French (?) said Prince was adament about his blouse being snow white she tried to explain to him about the contrast needed for a more muted white but he argued that the original colour white looked dirty and dingy and didn't want to be seen in it! He told her, "Ugh, French women love to argue"....

There was no q&a because the director, producer and manager were graciouslly filling us in on the making of the film and how it really is a depiction of Prince, how genius he was during the film and in his music (we know that).

Who else did I see?

Cat Glover....and she does not look like Cat at all.....

Eric & Mani.....she didn't look traumatized to be out....

Boyer (She is a sister of someone who is a singer).....

I would've paid to just have more time to listen to the panel longer because it was really fun. The movie was not improved as far as color or sound, but it was nice to see it on a big screen. The few photos I managed to sneek I will load tomorrow.

Funny that people were really staring at me, I felt kind of weird about that because I didn't know anybody there.

Can't believe it's been 33 years since PR came out and I would've loved it so much more if DF were in attendance because we would've showed the other "groups" how classy & respectful we are as opposed to the them.

The gal I met, Courtney from NY and I were crying throughout....and it really brought it home what happened. I am glad I did not pick up tickets for PP or the Memorial....I cannot handle that right now.

So glad you got to go Sister!! I'm bummed, I was just in LA over the weekend, wish I could have made it to this with you

The school year is rapidly approaching, so I will pop in every now and then, but my teaching duties are calling me! Take care!

Peace and purple love,

Hi GuitarHero It's been the theme album today--which is why all the great, lovely Lovesexy pictures from y'all (especially MoDrawers!) have been so very and then weird because what wavelength are we all on where this happens so often?

I definitely believe that - there's no way we could keep this thread going for 6 (rapidly approaching 7!) parts if we didn't feel it!

what else?...

Oh wow, I was listening to it that time over here (1230 GMT)! That's very strange and wonderful! I think it's a permanent bond through our Prince that does it, maybe he's still touching the strings that tie us together to make sure we're all okay, maybe it's the reverb from that touch pulling us along together?

Prince, love, we can still see you hiding there. What's that grimace/smirk for then? Who's played a wrong note? (This one is cool GuitarHero)
