When I heard about this Purple ticket thing, I couldn't stop my mind from going crazy with the "ifs" and "hows", so I composed a list of things my brain thought of, as many of you have probably already done. Perhaps this could be another thread, but I'll post it here so as not to rile the thread nazis.
So if you win, I know they aren't gonna like just drive you to his house, unless Prince plans to move the next day to a new location to keep the loonies from telling all their friends where he lives and posting his address on the Internet so . . . Will it be like going to the batcave where they shoot you with some knock out gas and wake you up when you arrive or will they blind fold you? Will you get a tour or just be ushered into a big room with like a hotel table of water, coffee and tea? You'll probably have to sign some sort of confidentiality agreement so you can't go running off and giving interviews - like God forbid you take advantage of anything Prince has to give you. Will there be a 90 minute JW presentation where you will be pressed to sign up there and then to be in for the drawing for the 144,000 salvation timeshare. Then if you don't sign up will you only get the 30 minute concert set and sent home with $50 gift card from Home Depot. Will it be like being a guest on Oprah where you're handed a list of things you can't talk about or ask Prince leaving only pretty much, what brand of toilet tissue he buys and where he got his curtains. Will it be a potluck? Will we have to stand up and introduce ourselves and tell why we entered the contest? "Hello my name is Dee Dee and I'm a Prince fan. I entered the contest just to see if we really are soulmates." Will there be Purpaloompas that come out and sing every time you fuck up? Veruca Salt | |

Veruca Salt I'll say yes to everythink except the potluck, that's a logistical nightmare (not to mention the possibility of food poisioning.). I think P will make the concert like one of his fabled 3121 parties he had all summer for his celebrity friends.  [Edited 2/27/06 18:40pm] No More Haters on the Internet. | |

 So the other day I open my mailbox only to find the Blacksweat postcard I had lovingly addressed to the sweepstakes in my mailbox.  It wasn't marked Return to Sender or anything--the stupid post office sent it TO ME instead of California.  I have half a mind to walk to the post office and tell them they did it wrong and demand they re-send it for free. (Like that will ever happen! )  The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

I want a Purple ticket badly. I would immediately put it on Ebay. What do you figure it would go for? $5,000 - $50,000 at least? You'd get some well to do, wealthy person that just has to see Prince at his home. Maybe $100,000 isn't out of the question. If I sold it for $100,000 I'd immediately pay off my college loans, maybe get a new (cheap car), furnishing my apartment, and then what? Probably put some hooker money away, and just kick back and relax for awhile. Maybe add some to my stock portfolio. Grad school? Maybe so! But mostly I'd have time to play Oblivion. Uh!

I took the postcard back there the other day and politely explained it was sent to me instead of Cali. Guess what was in my mailbox today?! The same damn postcard.  I mean honestly--how fucking stupid are the people at my post office?  I put TO: in big red letters and drew a square around the "to" address and back to the post office tomorrow. Maybe the 3rd time will be my "charm"!

And they wonder why people mock postal workers.... You should try adressing it the other way around-like to yourself. If you knew what I was thinking you'd be worried.... | |

It's a bit of a bummer to know beforehand where the Europe ticket will be... but I think the Netherlands really deserve it. They've always been very supportive of Prince. | |

That is good news as I am coming from The Netherlands, hehe!  RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time... |

I THINK THE WHOLE PURPLE TICKET THING TURNS PRINCE INTO A FREAKSHOW AND THAT ROALD DAHLS PEOPLE OR FAMILY OR WHOEVER SHOULD RECEIVE PAYMENT FOR THE IDEA IN THE FIRST PLACE
UNLESS MAKING MONEY OFF OTHER PEOPLES IDEAS IS THE NORM NOW..... BUT I WISH THE BEST FOR EVERYONE WHO WINS ONE AND HOPE U HAVE A GOOD TIME :LUV: " the embassy shut to keep the fools out " - as above, so below. | |
