Upon reflection, I figured out that, at the moment Michael Jackson was declared dead in California, I was participating in a conference call with some Sony Music reps, working to schedule some press interviews for two of our big musical guests at this year's Otakon. As his fans know, for many years, Michael recorded for the Sony label. Life is strange.
If you haven't already read them, this would be a good time to revisit some of my writings on Michael Jackson. You should start with "My First Celebrity Crush," and then follow the links at the bottom.
I'm very busy today, trying to take care of Otakon-related business ahead of tomorrow's Panic Meeting, which is the last meeting before the convention. But I thought it would be appropriate to share this photo I took this week of a neighbor's garden, where a ceramic angel is surrounded by bright flowers.
