PRINCE
I missed Prince when he played in the Bay Area. I was upset. Who wouldn't want to see this musical genius live? Well now I am almost glad I missed him in SF because he is playing all of his hits, and we have been assured hits only, in London and I have tickets. Yay yay yay yay! I am so excited! I can't wait to see how tiny he is. And from my seats I am sure he will look very tiny. Who cares? Can you dig it? Whoop whoop.I went to the Museum of Natural History today. It was okay. Geared towards kids and there were a lot of them around, but it was still cool to see all the dinosaurs. I don't think I will ever have to go back but I am glad I went once. Kind of like the London Dungeon.

Hey A, I am thinking of giving my students a final: "Nerdify this." In this final, they must get the lyrics of a song that reflects their time/generation and footnote the hell out of it. I was going to do a mock-up of this project for them and decided to do Prince's "Sign O' the Times." How funny you are going to see him live!

Hello Amber,
Long time no see :)
I stumbled upon your blogger through Matt's blog...So, I decided to write my two cents about Prince's performance in the bay area some years back.
(This is very cool, I'll have my own blog up sometime soon.)
I hope you have a great time in London, enjoy the concert!
I grew up with his music and it brings pleasant childhood memories every time I hear his songs. Unfortunately I also missed Prince when he performed at Ruby Sky here in the bay area. A few days after his performance I called the club to talk to a friend, instead a bouncer answered the phone. Somehow we started talking about the concert and he got excited while describing his experience to me...
"Hey man, I'm hard core and s#%@ bro, you know how I am a big guy? and...and...I have been a bouncer for a long time... But.. when Prince was singing and I still get chills down my spine thinking about it, I started to cry it was SO awesome. I am not gay or anything, but I was balling! it was the most amazing experience ever bro!. and you missed it."
Uh, yeah, no kidding! anyway, so there you have it, a little unknown trivia about a random phone conversation with a bouncer guy, and his candid description about an unforgettable night we both missed...
Cheers,

Hey Amber! I found your blog through your facebook profile - but how funny - I'm off to see Prince in a couple of weeks! I didn't know it was a "hits only" thing - how awesome :-)
