no, i'd never been parasailing before, and even though i got horrible motion sickness and wanted to throw up, lol, it was SOOOOO awesome!

i tell ya, prince was the best concert i ever saw, and i went to LOTS of them as a teenager. that man can play any instrument you give him, and OMG, he can make a guitar produce sounds you never thought possible-it's almost s*xual, and makes you feel like you're intruding on something very intimate.
