News vans have been there since Friday and paid up to $25,000 per parking space to be across the street from Staples Center. The people who work at LA Live and ESPN are dreading Tuesday and the street closures, etc. The Grammy Museum is all about MJ now as well. Last Edited By: Anne Boleyn 07/06/09 4:25 PM. Edited 1 times.

That was very emotional, and I am still pretty shocked that he is gone. I hope he is at peace now. The thing that pissed me off is Fox reported that they were giving away tickets down there because some people did not pick theirs up. I knew there would be people registering just for the hell of it who would not go. I would have loved to have gone, if I had been drawn I would have been on a plane yesterday morning.

I loved, LOVED him when I was a child, and this is as if a huge part of my childhood has died. If someone would have told me 2 weeks ago this is how I would react, I would have never believed it. I would have thought I'd say "oh, that's too bad" but it's so much more than that. I know this sounds silly but I also felt some guilt for kind of "abandoning" him as I got older. Watching a bunch of videos on YouTube this week reminded me that he was a human being (though a damaged one) who tried to do a lot of good. I think it's a damn shame if he did die from these stupid drugs that he should never have even had access to. I don't know. I'm sure people will think I am an idiot for being so upset, but so be it. I can be sometimes.

I've been suprised at my reaction to the passing of icons before. Maybe it's because we're reminded of our own mortality and the swift passage of time.

I imagine there are many that registered hoping to receive tickets with no intentions other than selling them for the highest price. That, I find, is disgusting.

The late King of Pop's brain has been kept for toxicology tests by experts who want to find out the singer's fatal heart attack was caused by painkillers. "As soon as we are done with the brain, we'll return it. The last I heard, they are not burying the body yet," the Sun quoted assistant chief coroner Ed Winter as saying. The 'Thriller' hitmaker's death certificate signed by sister La Toya lists the cause of death as deferred. Recently, Los Angeles Coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey said that neuropathology tests are going to be conducted to see if the brain holds any clues to the exact cause of Jackson's death. However, the examination cannot start until at least two weeks after the death when the brain has hardened sufficiently to slice it open. Sources at the coroner's office revealed that his brain was removed before his body was released to relatives the next day. http://entertainment.oneindia.in/music/international/2009/mjs-brain-missing-coffin-090709.html

I knew there would be people registering just for the hell of it who would not go. I would have loved to have gone, if I had been drawn I would have been on a plane yesterday morning. Well, jackie, not everybody who signed up on a whim didn't give a fuck. I thought this was pretty cool (from the local paper): When Heather White, a Gainesville native and University of Florida graduate, got an e-mail saying she had won two tickets to the Michael Jackson memorial, she was in shock. She had registered on a whim. "I was sitting at my computer and the news about the lottery came up on TV," said White, who has lived in L.A. for the past 7 years. "So I said, what the heck." White attended Tuesday's memorial with super-fan Brenna Chase, a 24-year-old from New York City, after listing her extra ticket on Craigslist. White decided to give her spare ticket to a diehard Jackson fan who expressed an earnest desire to go to the pop legend's memorial service. Link Apparently the two had a beautiful experience together, including some hot lesbian sex, which wasn't specifically mentioned in the newspaper article but was pretty obvious if you read between the lines. Totally hot.

Totally hot. That is cool. I know that not everyone who signed up on a whim wasn't going to go. I was talking about people who signed up just to sign up, with no intentions of going, I know there were people who did that. I heard another nice story about a girl who put a want ad on CL and someone who won tickets in Ohio gave them to her and her mother, so I'm glad there were people who were doing nice things with them. That's great. But if they were really handing out tickets there, there were obviously people who just didn't bother to show up or give them to someone who wanted to go. Amazingly I saw people trying to sell the denial email that was sent out by the Staples Center on Ebay. Who the hell would buy that, anyway?
