Dancing Machine

So Whisky scored some tickets to Prince when we were in Vegas. Here is my version of the story. We got to the box office and she told us that we only had one ticket, but she told us who to talk to about the tickets. Turns out that the tickets were under a different name. No problem, we have the tickets in hand and we get to the door thinking the tickets are general admission. The guy seating us tells us we have a table and to wait. He then brings over two wrist bands and tells us to remove the ones we have on when we get inside. He then walks us to a table that is one table from the front of the auditorium. He then tells us that we must be very special people because we are in Prince's special friends and family VIP section. Across from our table are 3 couchs around a coffee table, that's where Prince sits when he wants to chill out.

The show begins and Prince is rocking. We are having an awesome time and then Prince gets a lady out of GA to come up on stage and dance with him and the twins. The man is a showman! His guitars are all wireless so he can go walk out on platforms around the stage. Prince then walks over to my section and is playing the bass and dancing around 3 feet away from me! About two songs later he says "lets get some people up here to dance with me." He then comes back to the VIP section and starts grabbing people to go on stage. I make eye contact with Prince and he makes a funny little face and points at me then swings his arm as to say "come show me what you got!" That's right, I got a personal invite from Prince himself to come dance out on stage. Retro-rage me then takes over and I'm going crazy on the stage dancing around like a fool. At one point I make eye contact with one of the twins and she starts dancing with me. It was awesome!

Big shout out to Jack for saying "D you go, you'll enjoy it more."
