MJ and BB

While Matt what here we went to the San Diego Fair. It was very fun - although we rode the sky ride and nearly both shit our pants. I don't remember it being so scary and think it mostly had to do with the lack of seat belts and the president thought, "Should we really be this high off the ground on a carny ride?". While there the sad news of MJ rippled through the crowds. It was crazy - I got a text from my friend in Houston and then everyone else was talking bout it. When we got home Matt and I got sucked into MSNBC and CNN and stuff. So sad - I mean this story has already been told - think Marilyn, Elvis, even Andy.

After Matt left all the hoopla over the Memorial service began. Being curious and roped in, I applied for and WON tickets. No one believes me so I attached the header from the email to this post. I was intrigued but more excited to sell the tickets. They were going for big bucks so I posted them but then they took all the posts down and my money making dream with it. I would have went and everyone said to go but you had to go get the tickets on Monday and then the Memorial was on Tuesday morning - and it is a lot of work to get to LA so I talked myself out of it. Instead I gave the tickets away free to some Texan that just moved to LA that claimed to be a lifelong MJ fan. He said people with shock and disgust people we offering him money for the tickets when he went to pick them up. He did not know I tried to sell them originally.

I thought it would be too much a circus so I passed. I watched some on TV and it was actually well done and made me wish that I kinda went. Matt took the opportunity to remind me via text that Corey Feldman would be there - see previous post lol.

Well the next week I put in for the live taping of the first Big Brother eviction. I have not really followed it since being in CA but watched it religiously in MA -- we did a lot of reality TV watching - A LOT. They said they were full at first but then said they opened up more and I got some tickets. My family was all excited again and so this time I went. It is a hike and a half to LA - so close and yet so far away but I made my way up and into the studio audience. They told us all sorts of do's and don'ts but the biggest do was smile so you do not look like a weirdo. Me smile??? Oh wow super easy! Well I never saw what aired on TV but my family and all the kids did. My mom told me I looked old - my sisters said I looked goofy cuz I just kept smiling and smiling and the kids thought it awesome. My nephew sent me a picture on my cell phone. It is cool cuz I look like a ghost! The live show was fun since they had to keep everything moving and on time. The best part was when one of the contestants said that another contestant said the hostess, Julie Chen, was a whore. Julie had to keep smiling and just move one. The studio audience gasped!!!! The censors cut it from the airing so there is some behinds the scenes dirt for you!

Turns out the day I attended the live tapping was also Corey Feldman's 38th birthday. How exciting, I did not realize he was age appropriate. I looked around LA for him but to no avail.

I guess if you have on demand you can pull it up and watch it. My family tapped it so I hope to see it when I visit MA during August. All in all one adventure passed up and given over to good karma and one other adventure had.
