Re: NPNY: 3rd PURPLE TICKET WINNER...
Wow! What a great report. I am so happy that you got to experience this. I have trouble navigating the org, and I was a bit distracted by some nonsense that I missed your review. I am grateful that i got to see it here. It reaffirms the reasons behind my being a Prince fan. Thanks for posting it.

Me and my better half were just looking at each other as we walked down the marble floored hall to where we heard some voices, walking as if were in the FBI building at Langley lol.

The cooks are cooking, the drinks are flowing, the conversation is going. We choose to sit in the living room right next to the kitchen. It's a huge open space.

As we hugged he was laughing and I was as well. It was comical for some reason that us two jokers would end up here. We walked in the room with the magic piano and clock rug.I also notice that room was one of the pages on the NPGMC.the doors were unmistakable. I told Pej.."Look..I'm in a virtual website now lol" as I stood in the room next to the piano. We meet and talk with Princes hairdresser and crew (who got t
