Did I say that everyone was going to be a falling down drunk? No, sure didn't. But there's always one or two who have to go beyond their limit and create disaster. And yes, it was 'good' for me.

I had a great time dancing to what the dj was spinning when I was there in May of this year without having one drop of alcohol. I hate to think that it's going to turn into another club where drunken 'guests' will be stumbling about, falling over things and/or breaking them. I don't think this needs to happen at all.

Goodie for you. Anyone who has a glass of wine or a beer is immediately a falling-down drunk? Really? The enjoyment of a quality beverage is part of an excellent dining experience, which Prince loved. So judge him, too.

Lol, as usual, a major to do over everything to do with PP, in this case something that will only last a few days. Every single time something new or different is proposed, people spin out over it. People on Facebook are spinning too. The bottom line is that Prince wanted Paisley Park to continue on as a museum. That is part of what he wanted for his legacy. It is up to those responsible for running it to figure out how to pay the bills to keep it up and running, you know...just like Prince wanted it. He's gone now, he doesn't care about earthly things anymore, but do fans care about helping to ensure the legacy?

I swear there is never going to be a time that the fans will lay off and be supportive of different ideas to keep that legacy going

There are people on Twitter saying boycott Paisley Park because of this and claiming Paisley Park is making money “hand over fist”. When I first heard about this I had my reservations but some are just way over the top about it. I mean we don’t even know what type of events are planned and if they’ll be private or open to anyone.

Just ridiculous, right?

Oh good grief now people are starting petitions to try and prevent this and also claiming that they want to allow smoking in the building. Are people just making crap up now? smh

All of this for 1 week or less? People just need to chill.

WTF has this to do with Prince's music ?

THANK YOU!

Those childish, whiny "petitions" flooding social media are embarrassing to SERIOUS fam.

This morning, some off-kilter person is posting one claiming that they're going to allow "smoking and drinking" inside PP when the request says NOTHING about smoking (which would not be allowed in PP due to state laws). Then, others are sharing it without question.

These "fans" (fanatics) claim to know everything about Prince yet it's obvious they do not. They do not understand the political (Republican) fundraisers held there...and I can assure you NO political fundraiser is alcohol-free. Do they think Mixed-Blood Theater was going to serve water at their big bash (which was cancelled after P's death)? What about the private events? What about Prince's own enjoyment of wine, champagne and other beverages?

PP has never been licensed under Minnesota law as a "bar" or alcoholic purveyor. These temporary licenses are common and hopefully this will be approved.

Interfering with the BUSINESS that is Paisley Park Museum (created by a money-making BUSINESSMAN named Prince) will be detrimental to the legacy. The alternative is to let it be sold off to pay that tax bill.

The way some people are complaining about this request would drive anyone to drink.

Since the upcoming Super Bowl will be in Minneapolis, I think that a Super Bowl party is a great opportunity to showcase Paisley Park and build it's reputation as a tourist attraction. In order for Paisley Park to be viable for years to come, it has to host events in order to generate continuing interest. I think a yearly Super Bowl party would be a great idea. If there is not one already, the Estate could install a large screen on the sound stage and it would be a great experience for watching the Super Bowl. I see nothing wrong with serving alcohol a couple of times per year --- for a New Year's celebration and the Super Bowl.

Prince had his own Super Bowl party and there was liquor and you could smoke at Paisley Park in those days. I don't see the big deal this is causing.

Did Prince ever allow or sell alcohol at Paisley Park? Just seems disrespectful. They really think no one will show up for Super Bowl events unless they can drink? I hope the city says no but they won’t because they’ll want the business. 😔

If I was running Paisley Park - and believe me, I tried! - it would be rented out that entire week for A-list parties.

Sorry, couldn't get past your use of the word "fam" - which is, in and of itself, embarrassing.

Let's throw it on the fire with our past
And dance the night away

I don't have a problem with Paisley Park having a liquor license. Seems like everywhere has them anymore.

I was at an indoor waterpark just this past weekend, and it seemed like everyone was drinking beer. At a lodge designed primarily for children.

. Great. NOW fanatics are interrupting the business of the City of Chanhassen. This is embarrassing. PLEASE post this link on your social media. https://m.facebook.com/st...1407892993 . When PP becomes a distraction like this, it will become harder to get city support on serious issues.

Oh damn.

rogifan said:

Chanhassen mayor was interviewed on local news. He claims the city has never granted Paisley Park a special permit for alcohol in the past. Is he only referring to public events? Otherwise I’m confused. http://www.fox9.com/news/...super-bowl

He could only be referring to public events. If Prince wanted to invite people to a invite only party and provide alcohol, then the city would have nothing to say about it.

So I wonder then if Paisley Park had to submit a permit request because of the change in status when it became a museum? Maybe now even private, invitation only events require a permit from the city?

I would think so, since it is being ran as a business open to the public.
