Celebration 2000, a friend and I were talking with a security guard in the large concert room when we hear this, "Ahem!" from across the room. We turn and see Prince standing on the other side of the room, tapping his foot, and looking at the security guard. He seemed to be saying, "I'm over here."

Hahaha did he think you were planning to kidnap him or something? Sheesh.

I think it was more of a, "You're supposed to be guarding me, NOT talking with the women. Do your job!"

I just thought about the only "encounter" I might have had with Prince and it wasn't actually physical. It was here on the org. I had a username before this one where I had a link to my website and music, I forget what I was even talking about on that thread but I remember it was laudatory and positive. Anyway, at that time, I always checked my webtraffic the, each day. I never did get much but the day after that post, I noticed a visit from chanhassen minnesota, I also noticed that the only song that got any play was a cover of Little Red Corvette. Being negative, I just assumed it was a staffer who might tell me to cease and desist. they never did, anyway, now I actually think it was Prince.

sounds like there are quite a few people that attended the 2000 celebration here..

cool!

i was there too for all the celebrations in the early 2000's or

(the REAL PRINCE P.P. celebrations)

as i now call them.

Great Times!

I dont understand why people expected Prince to have huge ass feet when he was only 5'3. https://media.giphy.com/m.../giphy.gif

. He told a Minnie reporter God made his feet small to fit his pedal board. .

cuz people like to talk shit, it makes them feel good.

During the Newpowersoul Tour Afterparty, I snuck in the VIP section (they thought I was apart of Prince entorage, and they let me up) and I took an picture of Prince & Mayte. Here is that pic:

A woman I used to work with is from Minneapolis and used to work in a movie theater. Prince and his entourage showed up to see "Staying Alive", so this would have been 1983. She said she had his car towed for parking illegally.

Poor car!

I guess the ONA tour NPGMC music club thing sort of counts. Members had access to soundchecks and good seats. At a show in Atlanta he took questions from the members, including the myself, which was the only time I ever "met" him. The discussion gradually devolved into a religous discussion so I checked out to get go a drink. It was boring me to tears and spiraling badly, the way most discussions about God tend to do.

But at least I have a "I got to talk to Prince" story.

Great pic! That outfit though.

Like many of Prince's outfits, it's something only he could wear. lol

Was it the Knollwood Theatre in St. Louis Park? He and his entourage used to frequent it.

Dunno. Just a story she told me.

On May 28, 2006, Prince was playing at the Empire Ballroom in Vegas. (He was scoping things out for his later residency and play shows on May 27 and 28.) It was my birthday, so I hopped on a plane that morning and headed out for the show that night.

Some of my friends held a spot in line for me, so I beat it over to the Empire as soon as I checked into my hotel and we waited and waited and waited. At one point, we looked over and there was Prince, halfway out the stage door, taking our picture.

We yelled, "Hey! No pictures! " - teasing him about his own "no pictures rule." He laughed and put the camera down - and started chatting with us. (We were supposed to be let in for a soundcheck, but it was very late. He told us that a piece of equipment had malfunctioned and they were trying to track down a replacement.) All of sudden, this woman farther back in the line screamed, "I LOVE YOU, PRIIIIIINCE." Prince made exactly this face --> and ran into the building.

That woman is lucky the rest of us didn't whup her ass for making him leave.

Lol, nice pic! Good thing he wasn't looking at you while you took it, or else that might've been a sneer on his face instead of a smile!

Yeah, I knew I was taking a major rish taking his pic, but I figure it's not everyday a person gets an chance. So I went for it. Strange thing, I took 5 pics but only one turned out right. The outhers were distorted. True story.

A limousine pulled up to our Moneyapolis Prince Parties at The Front in Minneapolis. It sat there for a while. Then someone left a box outside the building.

Inside was NPG Jerseys.

I still have mine.

wonderful, never will be another. I couldn't see elvis or michael leaving a jersey somewhere. Only Prince did those kinds of quirky things.
