In what could be the finest form of stealing from the rich, the Artist Formerly Known as being far more comfortable touring outside of the US, could be setting up shop a block away from Hollywood & Highland for a royal residency. The LA Times Buzz Bands blog <http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/buzzbands/2007/05/exclusive_seven.html> says the details are being ironed out between the purple one and the increasingly relevant-again Roosevelt Hotel. The string of shows is scheduled to start in mid-June, about a week after the 49th birthday of the man born Prince Rogers Nelson. What the plans call for: On seven Friday nights starting June 15, the Roosevelt will close off its lobby at 9 p.m. Then, at 11:30 in the Blossom Room in front of 250 seated guests and an undetermined number of standing-room-only patrons, Prince (joined each week by special guests) will give a two-hour performance. At 2 a.m., Prince's private chef will take over the kitchen of the Roosevelt's Dakota restaurant, which will morph into an after-hours dinner club. As part of a jazz ensemble, Prince will entertain diners until 4 a.m. The Purple One is obviously still giddy from having his first #1 Album in the US in 14 years, 2005's 3121, his amazing Super Bowl <http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4133863362393398836&q=purple+r\ ain> halftime performance in the rain, and selling 140,000 tickets in London in 20 minutes <http://www.nme.com/news/prince/28295> . How much could the prices for the Roosevelt go for? Seeing as the ones in the 1,000 seat Social <http://idolator.com/tunes/concerts/the-15000-concert-series-will-let-yo\ u-see-prince-for-a-steep-steep-price-261558.php> concert is costing people about $3,000, and since Prince loves the number 3121 (the tickets for 21 shows in the UK went for 31.21 pounds <http://www.eurweb.com/story/eur33613.cfm> , they changed the name of the club he performed at this year at the Rio in Las Vegas to 3121 with ticket prices starting at $31.21 <http://www.harrahs.com/EventsDetail.do?detailName=3121-detail&locationC\ ode=RLV&eventTitle=3121> , and he just came out with a 3121 perfume <http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release_html_b1?release_id=255356> ), and seeing as there are probably a few thousand people who would pay $3,121 for a night of Prince - food - and Jazzy Prince... it seems like he's gotta sell them for that price. (1st snd 4most, it is NOT 7 nights, however 7 weeks. Here is hoping the guess is wrong, however, it could be that much for the best tables, since this is 4 the people with the deep pockets. Oh boy...-j7) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NewPowerNewYork Mailing List website: Www.NPNY.Org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe?
