"Is it a party if I'm dancing with myself?"

"Is it a party if I'm dancing with myself?"

The guitar-shredding, high-kicking, fine-woman-banging little person known as Prince has someone on his payroll whose job it is to scope out parties before he attends them. He calls this person his “advancer.”

According to celebuzz.com and a source of theirs, “The advancer scopes out the place. They look for a good scene, vibe, and music.”

On Thursday night, Prince sent his “scout ant” to NYC club the Eldridge and the “advancer” was pleased with the vibe and the whole shebang. Prince arrived at the club around 1a.m. with five bodyguards and a few good friends. The picky little fellow also approved of the Eldridge’s house DJ, Mel Debarge. Therefore, Prince’s personal DJ (who travels with him everywhere), Rashida, was able to have the night off. Unless, of course, Prince wanted his DJ to do some mixing and scratching while he went to bed.

“When I do her doggy style, Rashida, I want to hear some Slayer.”
