[Sho]

Was already gettin purple curtains and towels before the news, now I feel i'm gonna go overboard. Bout to all purple my room.

I'm bout to purple it up myself.

That one time Prince appeared on stage at a QTip show and played over a Dilla beat - https://www.facebook.com/according2h...60883/?fref=nf

Holy shit. You can see the moment when Tip lost his breath for a moment when Prince walked on stage.

yes, yes it was.

Going through photos from friends who stayed at First until the party was over and it stayed packed the entire run.

Never really thought much of Minnesota but last night it was the coolest place on Earth. Way to fucking go Minnesota :D

Also lol Bieber pic...

[6souls]

The instagram post is real, but there is a fake tweet making the rounds that states that now Prince is dead that he is the new Prince.

Oh Minnesota will be the coolest place on Earth for at least a few more days. outdoor and in-theatre screenings of Purple Rain across the board (tonight at Target Field - how I wish I wasn't working until 9) and dance parties at First Ave from 1:30 to 7:00 AM both tonight and tomorrow night.


I'm torn; I want to go out tonight and I work downtown so I could literally walk over. but I'm also dead-tired and drained from last night. if I don't go out tonight I will definitely go out tomorrow though. we'll see.


any other BGers going? I know some of y'all (psychodwarf, 6souls apparently?) live here

[psychodwarf]

Undecided on the all night dance party after last night, but the Mrs and I are probably going to head out to Paisley Park and the Purple Rain screening at Target Field station tomorrow.

These two girls in London uploaded this video last week. It's blown up now, as you might expect. THAT RANDOM DUDE JOINING IN THO

that's my plan. well not the Paisley Park part, the other part. considered going out tonight but I'm just so drained from last night. wanna be fully recharged and ready to go all night tomorrow!

it's been blowing my mind how much purple there is around the city tonight. every other building is lit up with purple lights. really makes me proud to be Minnesotan.

[kuronosan]

Fucking so amazing that he chose to stay there with you guys instead of going to NY or LA.

Fuck, their kid is like...5? That sucks

[gairaiden]

Starting to think someone legit got a death note and is writing random celebrity names in it.

[6souls]

Prince's death currently being linked to an OD of Percocet. Looks like we have another Michael Jackson situation.

[Xno Kappa]

He also didn't have a will in place. There's going to be a massive shit storm over the rights to his estate.
