I got in to the Michael Jackson Memorial at the Staples Center

Today was an exercise in surrealism. Getting in to the Michael Jackson Memorial and the events leading up to it, together, were the most tangible miracle I have ever experienced in my life. I will remember it for as long as I live.

Right when I got there, it was a military compound...helicopters and police everwhere...it was the way it was his whole life. I will never forger the sound of those helicopters...as I ran...and ran...and ran...

I was still faithing for a ticket to get in.

The morning. And I got a ticket. For $200. It was a Miracle from Heaven.

Someone right before he passed the security to go in.

My seat, I literally ran in right when Lionel Richie was singing.

Letting out.

My favorite, favorite part of the memorial outside.
