What started out as a Fort Greene birthday party for Michael Jackson planned by Spike Lee will now take place in Prospect Park, because of the large number of people expected.
The Parks Department for the celebration in Fort Greene park allowed 2000 people but because of national publicity they're expecting a whole lot more. That's why it was moved. The event is set to run from noon to 5 p.m. next Saturday.
Councilwoman Letitia James told The Local, the New York Times' Fort Greene blog: “This was supposed to be a small-scale community event,” said James. “Now they’re concerned about crowd control.”
Aug. 29 would have been Jackson's 51st birthday. He was exactly one day younger than me.
It is sad that he is gone . . . I wish I could have been there. :-(
i love you
nth more

I would like to thank you for remembering the man i will never forget. to all those who treated him badly, please dont show up for this event, it is for his real fans not the wanna=be fans who all of a sudden care about him. I have been a Michael Jackson fan since the seventies when i was in junior high school when it was the Osmond brothers and The jackson 5.To the Jackson family, I can’t imagine how hurt you are, if it bothers me the way it does. I know to you i’m a fan, but i am one who will love and miss him a;ways.
NO WORRIES ABOUT THE CROWD…PEOPLE WANT TO CELEBRATE WITH JOY…WILL BE A LOT OF PEOPLE BUT NO FIGHT! IT WAS LIKE THAT FOR THE APOLLO THEATRE…I WAS THERE, AND S.LEE TOO…. NOBODY FIGHT!
R.I.P.
This is great. I am so excited I cant even get into that right now. Now its been moved to the BEST PARK IN THE ENTIRE CITY!!!!!!!!!!
