For a while... I found it difficult to refer to him in past tense. I would catch myself and I'd kinda choke up.

I Love U, But I Don't Trust U Anymore...

Aww.
I mistook the meaning of the thread, but might as well go ahead with my little random P story anyway.
It was either the Nude or D&P tour. It's all a blur...loads of gigs, running round clubs & hotels P & the band were at, or rumoured 2 be at.
One night I was outside some swanky private club in Kensington. Must of been around 8/10 people there. All of a sudden P walks out, all of 15 feet away! Everyone tried 2 act cool, but the sharp inhales were audible lol
He gets in the backseat of the car. Suddenly a girl ran forward (2 this day I don't know where the hell she came from as my eyes were fixed on him thru the rear window).
She ran forward, screamed "I love u Prince!" & threw tons of loose flowers onto him! Where the hell did she get all those loose flowers?! Must of been 1/2 am at least.
His security quietly moved her on, shut the door & drove off. All very quick, it's like a dream. I can still see all those flowers eek biggrin

It was so surreal V! I had 2 pinch myself! Did that just really happen?!
lol Everyone froze & stopped breathing & then he was gone eek lol
I went to a approx 25 in total, need 2 count my tickets again, I did a yr or 2 back, it was 20 something. Approx 7/8 each on Nude & D&P tours. Those summers it was crazy. London was purple baby! Non purple peep thought I'd lost the plot going 2 all those gigs biggrin I saw The Time, Wendy & Lisa, George Clinton, Public Enemy, Kravitz etc. Met a lot of the (P) band in clubs etc, Saw P in a number of clubs. Sooo exciting. One time I was in the Empire club dancing with a few friends & I looked up & he was above me in the VIP sect, looking down watching us! eek lots of little memories like that. Funny how band members I had not had a good vibe about turned out not 2 be cool. And the ones I liked were very cool eek

hug Wish you'd got 2 see him more. There's peep out there laughing at my 25. Many gigs I had 2 miss that I'll always regret. 1 or 100, it'll never be enough eek I met that woman from Holland (?) Who followed whole tours!!! She was very cool. I'd read that article in Controversy about when she gave him a lift in her Beetle (!) & then a yr or so later I met her at a Nude gig.

Yeah some weren't too cool *cough Levi, Miko & Tony M. *cough
Rosie was Gorgeous heart
Damon tried 2 get your girl's math eek talk to the hand

It never occurred to me to save my ticket stubs reliably and now I don't remember what happened to them. :(

I always loved Rosie.

That Levi/Miko/Tony M combo platter always struck me as Ew.

How old were you when you were being stalked by P from the VIP area? Too bad your name didn't start with an "M". We could be hating on you as a sisterwife, dammit! Lol

Ah, to be young and a P fan...

lol It was either the Nude or D&P tour so I was 17 or 19 that night at The Empire club hmmm lol
I'm 5'10" & I never saw him stand next 2 any tall women back in the day.
I didn't think I had a chance in hell of getting 2 close, let alone of being a sisterwife eek lol

Whilst the rest of the band would sign autographs & chat 2 fans, Levi never did, he was the right hand man at the time & like others it went 2 his head. Very arrogant way about him.
Myself & a girlfriend got chatting 2 a girl at a club, she was very upset, telling us about how awful her boyfriend treated her. Nice girl. Next thing Miko appeared & literally ordered her 2 come 2 him. Talked 2 her like a dog.
Tony, like Levi, was arrogant & thought he was the star.

My girlfriend & I gave Rosie a birthday card & had a little chat, complemented her on her beautiful gold & silver Egyptian rings. She was very touched, very down 2 earth & beautiful. When I found out later how lonely she was on those tours & how rough it was 4 her it all made sense.
Everyone else in the band were cool too.

Guuuuurl, you know you were right in P's wheelhouse. Young, tall, young, pretty, young. Lol

During my 17-19 years I was in nursing school and although I went to P's concerts, I was rushing back to study and never thought about after partying cuz state boards are no joke and I wasn't tryna fail.

My boyfriend and I were engaged and he was P fan, but...I was all about him so no hanging out in the city without him. Ugh

If I had a friend who was also a P fan I might've been more adventurous. Oh, well. I still went to plenty of concerts. I just would've loved to have felt free to have experienced them differently back then.

That sounds like what I imagined those 3 guys to be like. Yup. Ew

Rosie sounds lovely. Why was she so lonely?

lol I thought I had a strike against me (tallness) lol
I had a studio flat, work & college, very little $, God knows how I managed but I somehow did.
Least u got 2 the gigs hey, I had 2 go looking 4 other fans. Made a couple of good friends after being a solitary fan the first 4 yrs. Most of the gigs I went 2 alone.

Re Rosie, later she spoke on how difficult it was being the only woman in the band. I think the fellas got quite mean at one point & Mavis (lovely Mavis) had Rosie moved 2 her tour bus. Also Rosie was homesick. That day I felt vibes off her that I couldn't quite decipher.
...She wanted 2 hang with the girls...

I was in Macy's department store in St paul, mn the Saturday after the revolution gig at first av couple weeks ago. I noticed another gal looking at dresses and caught her stealing glances my way which was kinda odd. Then I noticed she was wearing a t-shirt that said something about starfish and coffee. I looked down and remembered I was wearing the revolution t-shirt I had bought the night before. I said "nice t-shirt". She answered "you too" and walked off to another area. I stood there for a moment not sure if I should laugh or cry. But it was a very cool moment.

it's nice when those unexpected instances occur smile

Today I had a customers account. Her last name was Funk.

As in past tense. She got married and changed it to JOHNSTON!? What in the world! I would make that man take the name Funk. My goodness.

So of course Prince was the first thought that jumped into my mind. The True Mr. Funk wink

He would have rocked that last name (not that he needed it) lol

Awww

The coolest thing to me is you both "knew" without saying anything else.

I don't know if this counts but i will share it anyway.........

i've been attending after dark events at a local science museum that from the outside kind of looks like Paisley Park and inside the layout/ design is not quite the same as PP. However, on the first night opening they had a Prince laser show, which was awesome. My only critiques were they only played songs that mostly everyone would know and used laser visual of a elevator during Let's Go Crazy (which felt awkward and not so pleasant).

Also they recently did a David Bowie laser show, while "Heroes" was playing....all i could think about is the P&M version sad

There is a dance floor with djs playing old school tracks and current (hit & miss). For that moment I tried channeling myself or imagine what it is like to be at a dance party in PP. I bet the atmosphere and PP itself is way more extraordinary than where i was.

I plan to set foot in PP for the very first time next month, I just wish not under these circumstances.
