Prince, the addendum

So Sunday night's Prince festivities at the Roosevelt Hotel weren't quite sold out ... although it helped when a high roller (name unknown) showed up at the door with $21,000-plus in cash and bought a chunk of the dinner seats.

I'd love to get his take on the show. Somebody have him call 1-800 LATIMES and ask for me; it's toll-free.

Because of Prince's previous commitments, the last two dates of his seven-show stand are still TBA. Rumor is they will happen sometime around mid-July.

This week's shows (Thursday, Friday and Saturday) are sold out.
