A Lottery For A Funeral
If you want to attend Michael Jackson's public memorial you wont have top pay $25 to see it, but you will have to enter a lottery and hope you are lucky. I still am not sure why they are not having it outside at the LA Coliseum instead of at Staples Center. Instead of 11,000 people they could have had 100,000 people and Joe Jackson could have made a lot more money selling t-shirts.
Anyway, if you would like to submit your name for the lottery, you need to register by Saturday at the following website. It is at 10am on Tuesday which I don't understand at all. Why have people take off from work when you can have it just as easily at night? I think they should have done something like The Apollo did which is they had it all day and shuffled people in and out. They could have one every two hours or something for a day. I don't know. It just seems with the level of interest in this memorial that 11,000 people seeing it live and another 5,000 watching on video screens next door is not really the way to go.
