I will be at Michael Jackson's Memorial Service on Tuesday Morning

A public memorial service for Michael Jackson is taking place at Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles, California on Tuesday at 10am. PST The service is also being simulcast on huge monitors inside the Nokia Theatre right across the street from Staples.

17,500 tickets are be distributed to fans free of charge. 11,000 of will be for Staples Center and 6,500 will be for Nokia Theatre.

I have never won a lottery before, but I heard that almost 500,000 people were trying to get tickets. Instead of working, I will be at the memorial service Tuesday morning.

I have been a fan of the Jackson 5, Michael Jackson, and Janet Jackson for many years.

The rest of the world can watch the event on TV. The event can possibly attract more viewers than the memorial service for Princess Diana a few years ago.
