Check out the photos on the right.  We met BT (comedian) last night (Fri, Apr 18th) at the Tampa Improv.  He was hilarious!!!  We were there for Gary Gullman who was ok (but adorable).  We didn't wait around to see if Gary would come out afterwards for photos/autographs.  We did get to see him eating supper at Fresh Mouth burgers before the show though!!!

 

The other photo is Jared Padalecki from SUPERNATURAL.  Yes, that is a REAL PHOTO and YES he is that hot in person.  Rachel said the whole Eyecon convention was worth it just for that photo.

According to an on-line article on the UK Daily Mail (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=454090&in_page_id=1773) 140,000 tickets for Prince's concerts in London sold out in a mere 20 MINUTES.  6 more shows were quickly added but those are probably sold out too by now. 

 

Also, according to his 3121 web site on July 7th, 2007 he will have a 24 hour charity event and performance by Prince.  This is introduce his new 3121 fragrance that goes on sale at the same time, with 7% of the sales proceeds going to various charities. 

Just a quick post on the show in Vegas last night...obviously one word to describe it--AMAZING.

I was really hesitant about getting general admission standing room only tickets but we got there early enough to grab a corner (near the stage) and have a place to sit while we waited...and it was worth the wait!!

I can't even begin to list all of the songs he did, my head is pounding right now and I'm still barely awake from staying up til 5:30am for the aftershow (guess I'm getting too old for this!).

I do remember "Kiss", "Purple Rain", "Lolita", "Housequake", "3121", "Black Sweat", "Shy", and many more.  There were quite a few that DJ Rashida played before the show that if I listed any others I'm not 100% sure if he actually played them or I heard them being played by the DJ! %-P

Oh, and he also played "Love Bizarre".  This was my absolute favorite song of the entire show for two reasons:

1-  Wendy Melvoin and her sister, Susannah, where at the concert and both of them came on stage.  Wendy played guitar and Susannah provided backing vocals.

2-  This was the song where Prince came out onto a smaller stage that was right next to me and sang and danced.  He was literally inches away!! 

After the show we headed to the jazz club and waited in line.  Shelby walked by and was talking to/with some of the people in line.  We heard her mention that Prince could play all night long (or something like that).  It was already after 3am and I wasn't sure I could stand in line for much longer.

We finally got in but there was no more seats in the main dining room where he performs.  We sat in an adjoining room but you could still see him through an opening in the wall (large opening).  His band played for about 45 minutes while Prince sat in the back area behind the other room and ate (a salad, if anyone is really curious).  Shelby also sang 2 songs and was amazing. Prince played the guitar or piano for a few of these songs but would run back and sit down to rest/eat before heading back up again.  He finally settled down and started really getting into it with "Sweet Thing", again by this time it was about 3:45-4am and he was going into one song after another.  It reminded me alot of other aftershows from previous concert tours.

Well, my headache is getting the best of me now so I had better go ahead a post....  Just saw a note on the 3121.com web site with something about "Planet Earth, coming summer 2007", new album or better yet CONCERT TOUR!?!  :)
