A ?Berry? Good Time With Prince

Last night was my 8th show of Prince?s 21 Nite Stand concert residency at the Forum in Inglewood, CA (my 10th overall if you count the two shows at the Troubadour last Wednesday) and, not to sound like a broken record, it was another fantastic show. Having seen so many shows already, I have a pretty good idea for how the shows will turn out by now ? but hearing the audience explode with ecstatic glee each and every night is an absolute thrill and a privilege. I went to the show last night with my friends Josh, Essly and Garrett and we had a blast!

We were very lucky because Josh?s friend hooked us up with upgraded VIP tix ? which put us squarely in the prime spot to enjoy the show. This means we were able to see very clearly Halle Berry dance her buns off on stage during Prince?s performance of Cool. We also got to bump into (literally) stars like Ryan Phillippe, Dane Cook, Susan Sarandon and more! By this pint, I?ve seen the show from every vantage point all around the arena ? it?s so freakin? fun getting to experience these concerts in this way. Here is the setlist from last night?s show.

Last night?s show was made even more special because of the company I was with. Josh, Essly and Garrett are the best concert friends to see a show with ? I would not be surprised if we all saw another Prince show together again :)

Next week, Prince is taking a little vaca from LA and is heading up to do shows in Fresno and San Jose, CA. He?ll be back at the Forum in Inglewood for Memorial Day weekend so ? I?ll be having a little break from Prince shows. No worries, tho, I?ll be seeing Kylie Minogue here in LA and in Las Vegas next weekend instead ;)

No plans for today ? just plan to do as little as possible. Happy Sunday!!
