according 2 that thread, and the amount of presold tix, there will b a lot of orgers there. in fact at the last couple of parties i would say that as many as 9/10 of the guests r orgers, so there will b literally 100s of orgers at the party

last year ben and val came 2 the party, along with ppl from america, australia, france, belguim, spain, and all over europe, uk, and ireland

the last party was filmed by the bbc and clips shown in the liquid assets: princes millions documentary, there r photos on the site from the last party

this year we r having 2 parties, and both partys will b very different, but we xpect the same faces as b4. it's the ideal opportunity 2 meet fellow orgers and uk prince fans. and don't worry about coming alone, plenty ppl will b doing that, and its a very friendly crowd, remember every1 has something in common

as 2 the partys being any good, just ask any1 who was at the previous partys - these will b the best parties u ever attend!

Cool - just had a look and bought a couple of tickets - never know who is being re-converted round about now.

with prince back in the charts, on mtv and vh1 this week, and reviews of the new cd in all the press, posters all over london, the musicology video all over cable tv, many old fans r renewing interest again, and many new fans r discovering prince 4 the 1st time. the previous parties have been a success when prince was least promoted and dare say popular in the uk, so know he is back in the press and on our tv screens the parties r going 2 b more popular than ever. these r events any self respecting fan should not miss out on

c u there!

i'll be there with the missus

it'll b good 2 c some more scots fans coming down. u won't b the only 1. it might b a long way 2 go but it'll b worth it. the venue is a lot better than we could get and fill in scotland, plus its a nice change 2 c how they do things down south

Its 18's only

I'm on this side of the Atlantic so I might as well make the most of it; have always wanted to see how the Brits vibe to P. Any pre-gaming going on?

Still deciding on what to wear.

Definitely looking forward to this event. Drop an org-note if anyone is interested in meeting beforehand for drinks/dinner or something of the sort. Live in Virginia and had always planned to catch one of the Lovesexy DC parties, but it seemed like something always came up. Won't miss this party, though!

Precisely the reason I am not going, because next year half of them wont be interested.

i cant c y that would stop u having fun at the party, most ppl r long term fans, and regulars 2 uk events

i think its cool 2 c the reaction of new fans when they get 2 c or hear some of the rare stuff us old fans have. even if half of them lost interest in the following year, having more and more new fans allows us 2 keep the fanbase and parties alive. if every1 lost interest, sites like this wouldn't b so successful, and prince may not tour or release as much

if u come along 2 the party i'm sure u would b pleasantly surprised

Got my tickets on Friday, will be coming down with 5 friends

ladymisskat said:

hopefully every1 knows about the meetup on the friday nite b4hand, check the fan gatherings forum 4 more details, its the same venue as the london prince fan meetups they have monthly on thursdays. the ideal opportunity 2 get 2 know a few ppl in advance

who is going 2 the party and who is going 2 the friday meetup?

unique said:

i'm going to both.

i am flying down from glasgow on friday morning then myself and my other half are going to see a musicial on friday night so i would be able to go to the meet up on friday, see you all on saturday night

sorry that should have said "wouldn't be able to go on friday night"

blackboab said:

i hope its not the queen musical, u need 2 b loyal 2 the appropriate royalty (try saying that after a dozen cans of wife beater)

blackboab said:

u know the meetup is from 6pm? cant u make an early appearance b4 the "music"al?

or come afterwards?
