I was on a plane the night of August 29, I looked out the window and saw the stars so close, so I said to them, happy birthday Michael.

Celeb quotes I found from imdb.com and decided to share:

"There are two kinds of people in this world: Michael Jackson fans and losers."
-Seth Green (I'm actually considering making that my signature)

"A major strand of our cultural DNA has left us."
-John Mayer

"When you are behind bars with no hope of release, you need to find strength wherever you can. Personally, I found strength in Michael Jackson"
Nelson Mandela
 
Seth Greens' quote is genius! and Nelson Mandela's is like "wooow"!
thanks, Escale Cherie II :)

Monday, 3 October 1988
Meadowlands Arena
East Rutherford, New Jersey

The drawing we are holding was one that Michael commissioned from me. He wanted me to draw him from his six videos, at that time. Unfortunately, the flash from the camera reflected on the drawing. The other drawing, behind, is another one I did of him, which he autographed for me.

Michael had hired me to do a children's coloring book based on his video "Moonwalker." This was during his "BAD" tour, and the height of his career. The project took about a year, because it took time for him to see what I was doing and get back with his comments on my drawings.

After he came back from the European leg of the tour, he was going to be in New Jersey. My wife and I got VIP tickets for the concert. At the arena, I was brought back to his large dressing room, with a smaller private dressing room for him. There were a lot of people milling around. All of a sudden, Michael came out of his dressing room, in his "BAD" outfit, buckles and belts. He shut the door and just stood there.

When Michael Jackson said he was very shy, he wasn't kidding. The look on his face, to me, was pure fear. I felt he was just looking around the room to find someone, anyone, he knew. After a couple of seconds, he walked into the crowd. This would be the only time I would meet him, and I figured I better do it. So, I walked up to him and tapped him on his shoulder. I thought to myself, "I am tapping Michael Jackson on his shoulder!" He turned to me, and since it was quite noisy I leaned to whisper in his ear, thinking "I am whispering into Michael Jackson's ear!!" I introduced myself and told him that I was the guy doing his coloring book. The second he knew who I was you would have thought we had known each other for years. He was gracious and extremely friendly. He told me that he was really liking the coloring book drawings that I was doing for him.

I brought him over to my drawings and he burst out laughing when he saw them. We chatted for a little bit and he couldn't have been nicer. Needless to say, it was one of the most exciting celebrity meetings I ever had.

In early February, 1988 some friends and I were staying at the Kahala Hilton Hotel in Hawaii and learned that Michael Jackson was staying there, too. My friends and I saw him several times over a 3 day period and I snapped these photos. Michael was very nice, shy and polite. After he posed for a picture with me I thanked him, then he suggested we take another one because he said he blinked.

He and the 10-year-old boy, Jimmy Safechuck, he was travelling with and the boy who was appearing in a Pepsi TV commercial with Michael at the time were outside alone without security. Michael made the comment "I would be in trouble if they knew I was out here" which I thought was odd since he's their boss. But I suppose he meant they would be upset.

At one point we asked him to sign an autograph but we didn't have any paper, just a pen, so my friend asked Michael to sign a $20 bill. Michael apologized and said he couldn't, that he would get in trouble for defacing money. So my friend dashed into the hotel and found a piece of hotel stationery which Michael signed. I still have the autograph.
