Prince

raining purple in brooklyn

Tonight's screening of Prince's Purple Rain at Prospect Park as part of the Celebrate Brooklyn summer series of concerts was amazing. The best way I can describe it: like watching a movie, singing along and dancing (and laughing) with 3,ooo of your friends outdoors. It felt like a concert except the performance was on a massive screen and the song lyrics were projected beneath the film. We brought a picnic blanket, dinner and some wine. This is one of the best things summer in Brooklyn has to offer. All for the price of $3. I love it.

Not that I need to be inspired to listen to Prince, ever. However, this does make me want to listen to all of the Prince tracks on my iTunes. Here's a an iPhone photo I took as the film began...
