And now, the latest 777 Update, dated Saturday, February 02, 2002. "The news, not the bull ...." Hello & welcome to a special edition of the 777 Update. The 777 Update is a Prince Fan Newz Update not affiliated with Prince Rogers Nelson, Paisley Park, NPG Records, Warner Brothers Records, the NPG Music Club or NPGMusicClub.Com in any way, shape or form. Early Saturday morning Feb 2nd, 2002, the NPGMC chat was opened for all members to converse. Around four in the morning MPLS time, Prince and a Paisley Park employee dropped some info on The Detroit Crawl's fearless leader, Tim, as well as Jorge and Ian. All of them took notes and what is provided here is an outline of the conversation. We thank Tim, Jorge and Ian for sharing this info with us. This is a different kind of update as we will share the convo they caught and add some tidbits at the end. I am sure there will be more info dropped today and over the weekend so if you are an NPGMC member, join the chat all day Saturday Feb. 2nd for other info. Without any futher delay, here is an excerpt of the chat. Newz item #1-NPGMC Chat February 2, 2002 PaisleyPark2: a fusion thang called XENOPHOBIA PaisleyPark2: we r really digging this new tune...

Hope this was informative to y'all. Not your usual kind of Update but I hoep you enjoyed it. BTW, the STATE OF THE N.P.G. ADDRESS has been delayed due to this news and also not to coincide with U.S. President George Bush's State of the Union Address. The only reason I ever called it the state of the N.P.G. is cuz I thought it was catchty, not to play a power trip. A regular Update with more info will follow in the next two weeks. Newz item #2-Prince to rehearse with mini-tour this spring Cleveland radio station KISS FM 96.5 D.J. Kasper announced Friday night, February 7th, that Prince will be performing in Ohio on March 10 at the Palace Theatre at PlayhouseSquare. Ben@Prince.Org adds that it will be an eight-city midwest tour, so far. Stops Prince.Org has heard so far are - Cleveland, Milwaukee, Chicago, and Detroit. More to be added. I'm sure. J7 heard thru the woodworks possibly L.A. will get a show before then but nothing has been announced. For upcoming tour dates in your AREA, please sign up for the 777 Update Local Edition.
