Current host Mary Lucia talks to Koreen Valdovinos, public relations coordinator at First Avenue, where musician Prince performed a last-minute concert on July 7.

Prince waited until Thursday evening to announce that he would play a show at the legendary Minneapolis club on Saturday. First Avenue employees found out about the concert around the same time the general public did.
