GO! he played 2+ hours, the individuals that he has in the new power generation are incredible (candy dulfer, maceo parker, etc.) and even though i never was on the "omg! prince is sooooooooo hot" bandwagon? the man looks freakin' good! (and i'm not talking he looked good from 20 rows back. i'm talking he looked good from 20 feet away. did i mention our seats were in the freakin' FRONT ROW?? yeah. we're that lucky) other bonuses of the show? a 45 minute acoustical set of prince, alone, on stage. great new music from the musicology cd. a copy of the musicology cd free. live music, that is played AND sung live. no lip synching here. in fact, he makes a big deal about that. "real music played by real musicians", is a theme. no back up dancers (unless you count the people from the audience that were invited up) the only drawback was that we were all jazzed to go to the after party and there wasn't one. other than that it was one of the best concerts i've been to in a really long time. now, after i go see elton john in vegas over halloween weekend, i don't know if i'll say the same thing. guess we'll have to wait and see. but for now? the BEST concert ever. hands down. let me put it this way, if there had been ANY way that i could've gotten tickets for TONIGHT'S show too? i totally would've gone again. at $75 a pop, that's saying something. especially from someone who wouldn't categorize themselves as a big prince "fan". totally unrelated stuff............

so far this week is shaping up to be much better than last. a few reasons why

and how has your week been so far?
