..and let's, um, just say that this show is now the new winner for Most I've Ever Paid For A Concert Ticket. *gulp* This better not suck.

(oh yeah, tickets can be gotten here..., and this is just days before the Bumbershoot festival happening in the same general place, featuring Pixies, Nas, and um, other bands I can't mention right now.)

(ugh, try this link)

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 4 April 2004 00:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Also this is apparently the very last show on the very sparsely booked Musicology tour. (Over 4 months, playing average of 10 shows a month... huh).

The man needs his beauty sleep. Then again, he's not a woman, he's not a man, he's something you'll never understand.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 4 April 2004 00:34 (twenty-one years ago)

his band is guna be exhausted but there are no aftershows this tour so.. yah. i got my tix for staples june 2nd.

Jehovah's Witnesses don't have holidays, so he has no excuse

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Sunday, 4 April 2004 00:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Chaki, I fully expect you to duet with him on "When You Were Mine" on June 2nd. It has to happen.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 4 April 2004 00:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Chaki will be just like Courteney Cox in the "Dancer In The Dark" video. It will rock.

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 4 April 2004 00:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Does that mean Chaki will then go on to star in Friends 2012?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 4 April 2004 00:48 (twenty-one years ago)

where can a guy find a list of his tour dates in this crazy world

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 4 April 2004 00:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Start here: http://www.prince.org/events/, then page through the calendar until August (or further if you like)

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 4 April 2004 00:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Anyway, looks like the NYC/Jersey shows in mid July look like your closest bet. (no Canadian shows apparently)

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 4 April 2004 00:57 (twenty-one years ago)

oh god no

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 4 April 2004 00:57 (twenty-one years ago)

well i guess an excuse to go to nyc is not the worst thing in the world

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 4 April 2004 00:58 (twenty-one years ago)

missing prince because i can't afford it, though, is!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 4 April 2004 00:58 (twenty-one years ago)

so let's hope everything works out for me.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 4 April 2004 00:58 (twenty-one years ago)

speaking of going up on stage with prince i forgot to mention that he pulled up tons of people to dance with him on stage! most of whom were 40 something fat white ladies! one was dancing and tripped and fell right on prince!! it was funny i think you can see pictures on prince.org thread "fan shots and camel toes" or something

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 4 April 2004 02:26 (twenty-one years ago)

p.s. got matos' sign book. is good!

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 4 April 2004 02:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Chaki, r u gonna try and go to the June 6th show?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Sunday, 4 April 2004 04:24 (twenty-one years ago)

when do presales start?

― Pablo Cruise (chaki), Sunday, 4 April 2004 04:37 (twenty-one years ago)

i have not heard of a june 6 show

― Pablo Cruise (chaki), Sunday, 4 April 2004 05:50 (twenty-one years ago)

There's a June 5th show -- can't make that, friends' wedding is that evening.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 4 April 2004 06:06 (twenty-one years ago)

DB, did you get tix on the floor? Are you in the "purple circle?"

― Scott CE (Scott CE), Sunday, 4 April 2004 16:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah sorry, I meant June 5th.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Sunday, 4 April 2004 17:46 (twenty-one years ago)

tix go on sale tomorrow at 10:00am.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Sunday, 4 April 2004 17:46 (twenty-one years ago)

(Scott, yes.)

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 4 April 2004 18:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Curse you, DB. Can someone who has been to one of these shows confirm that they are in the round? The seating chart I saw sure looked like it was, but if not, I may have gotten the shaft, seating wise.

― Scott CE (Scott CE), Sunday, 4 April 2004 18:12 (twenty-one years ago)

at least you're going!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 4 April 2004 18:25 (twenty-one years ago)

(Scott, I don't know if I got the best seat, but I did try to get the first level seating. I might have been cursed too. I won't know until I get my ticket in the mail, which could be just two days before the show)

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 4 April 2004 18:44 (twenty-one years ago)

OK just checked. Scott, I'm not on the floor, I'm in section 120.
(My question is, I hope I'm facing the BACK of the band)

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 4 April 2004 18:47 (twenty-one years ago)

(URRRG, i hope i'm NOT facing the back of the band)

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 4 April 2004 18:47 (twenty-one years ago)

C'mon, DB, nothing but Prince ass for three hours.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 4 April 2004 18:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe it's a revolving stage just like that Def Leppard video.

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 4 April 2004 19:02 (twenty-one years ago)

(even better, three hours of Wendy and Lisa ass)

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 4 April 2004 19:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Are they actually playing with him this time out? Um, if you will?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 4 April 2004 19:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I've heard that he has "settled differences" with them, or at least with Wendy, I believe. I have no idea if they are (or she is) playing with him, though.

(I was just thinking of the idea of Wendy and Lisa ass a la the "1999" video)

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 4 April 2004 19:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I read a review that made reference to Wendy, at least, being on stage for this tour.

― Scott CE (Scott CE), Sunday, 4 April 2004 19:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, is it true that everyone gets a free copy of the album at the door? This seems crazy, but that's what I heard.

― Scott CE (Scott CE), Sunday, 4 April 2004 19:29 (twenty-one years ago)

well, it would certainly offset the cost of the ticket, so that would be a nice gesture, however crazy it is.

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 4 April 2004 19:33 (twenty-one years ago)

yes you get a free cd. wendy is not on the tour. the round is cool he walks around the whole time. my tix i got are for june 5th not 2nd. oops.

― Pablo Cruise (chaki), Sunday, 4 April 2004 19:36 (twenty-one years ago)

hey chaki, how did you get your tickets so early? r u n NPG ho or somefing?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Sunday, 4 April 2004 23:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Hook me up! ;)

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Sunday, 4 April 2004 23:11 (twenty-one years ago)

― Pablo Cruise (chaki), Sunday, 4 April 2004 23:25 (twenty-one years ago)

― Pablo Cruise (chaki), Sunday, 4 April 2004 23:25 (twenty-one years ago)

See you both there hopefully!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Monday, 5 April 2004 00:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I got mine, too. They went on sale at 10, and we got ours at about 10:10 - we are near the front in the balcony. At least we didn't have to pay $75 apiece this time.

Yes, the show is in the round.

― Kerry (dymaxia), Monday, 5 April 2004 15:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay, I'm in for The Staples Center. We couldn't get the main floor, but we got the next level (lower lever or something?). Fuuuuuuck that was expensive. but June 5th is the weekend after my birthday!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Monday, 5 April 2004 16:28 (twenty-one years ago)

June 3rd Staples Center tix just announced on sale now!!! ember presale has not started! go go!

― Pablo Cruise (chaki), Monday, 5 April 2004 19:32 (twenty-one years ago)

June 3rd wtf?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Monday, 5 April 2004 19:36 (twenty-one years ago)

People that bought Prince tickets - have you got your tickets in the mail yet?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 18:48 (twenty-one years ago)

not yet.. then again, my show isn't until August 30th.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 18:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Seriously, though. F Ticketmaster.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 18:57 (twenty-one years ago)

well, if you printed out the receipt from the website, you should be fine, if worse came to worse.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 19:08 (twenty-one years ago)

(but yes, F da master)

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 19:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Dammit slave, work faster.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 19:09 (twenty-one years ago)

*GRUNT* [puts down atrophied limbs to continue picking away at the ore on the ol' ball and chain]

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 19:13 (twenty-one years ago)

You know, if the Goatboy had written that as the followup lyric...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 19:14 (twenty-one years ago)

three weeks pass...

Second Seattle show added Aug 31st. (Aug 30th sold out)

Portland show added, Sept 1st at the Rose Garden

Oakland show added, Sept 9th at Oakland Coliseum (now looking like this is the tour ender)

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 9 May 2004 20:58 (twenty-one years ago)

(now the question is, how to we organize a post-Prince Seattle FAP Aug 30th, and who's going to put up Prince at his or her house?)

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 9 May 2004 20:59 (twenty-one years ago)

(i mean, SOMEONE's gotta take Prince to Thai Tom!)

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 9 May 2004 21:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I totally forgot he was on tour. I keep doing that. Fuck..I know he was coming here too, I hope he didn't already stop by. I know tickets were expensive as hell...hehe

― uh (eetface), Sunday, 9 May 2004 23:26 (twenty-one years ago)

haha you do know Prince is a vegan, right? so Thai Tom is potentially perfect!

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Sunday, 9 May 2004 23:49 (twenty-one years ago)

gah fuck, the good oakland tickets are all gone since these went through tickets.com rather than ticketmaster and I didn't know they ever went on sale. Well fuck that! I'm not paying $200 for shitty seats.

― kyle (akmonday), Monday, 10 May 2004 00:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Nah, I'd assume Prince is pretty precious about his veganism (since he tends to be pretty precious about everything), and seeing meat being thrown around by a masterchef spinning 5 plates at once might be 2 much carnage for His Purpleness...

I think a more apt Seattle dining establishment would be the all-vegan The Globe... even the restaurant name is very Prince.

― donut bitch (donut), Monday, 10 May 2004 01:34 (twenty-one years ago)

(if he doesn't mind being stared at by a lot of teens in Exhumed and Crass t-shirts that is)

― donut bitch (donut), Monday, 10 May 2004 01:41 (twenty-one years ago)

oh, I'd guess he's used to that, having had his shop near Calhoun Square in the mid-90s and all.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Monday, 10 May 2004 02:37 (twenty-one years ago)

four weeks pass...

DB and anyone else who has yet to catch Prince, you are in for a treat!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Monday, 7 June 2004 18:17 (twenty-one years ago)

As I was just telling Kyle, even the solo acoustic "suite" was off the motherhuffing chain!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Monday, 7 June 2004 18:18 (twenty-one years ago)

yah the show on the 7th was amazing

― chaki_burger (chaki), Monday, 7 June 2004 19:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Did you go to the HoB??????

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Monday, 7 June 2004 19:21 (twenty-one years ago)

btw, Canadian shows are just being announced.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Monday, 7 June 2004 22:32 (twenty-one years ago)

And I got tickets for San Jose! RRRRRRRRrRRRRRRrrrRRRahhhh!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 13:59 (twenty-one years ago)

one month passes...

I just got back and it was fantastic. But I'm going again tomorrow - we just scored first row mezzanine seats because it is a rescheduled show & people cancelled. If you're in Chicago, you might want to give this a try ASAP.

― Kerry (dymaxia), Friday, 23 July 2004 05:21 (twenty-one years ago)

oh wow. my coworker went to the same show kerry.

how much are the seats? i probably can't afford it. and i need to get up early saturday to go to michigan. but...maybe...

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 23 July 2004 05:23 (twenty-one years ago)

when is this guy coming to the UK? hes been touring the US forever since about 96.

― thesplooge (thesplooge), Friday, 23 July 2004 09:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Does anyone want to buy my San Jose tickets from me? I'm going to be in London for that date now. :(

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Friday, 23 July 2004 09:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Am, they were $75 for mezzanine, $50 for the upper level (totally worth it). I think there are still some face-value tickets around. Our mezzanine tickets were face value.
