Was that recent ( like this year)?

London was early this year on the phone.. I didnt get to see him in the end though. Bahrain was 2006.

[longtimefan1968]

You have great memories to hold onto.. Than for sharing them with the rest of us

[Soso Deaf]

oh our three stooges pajamas that we almost died in. damn greyhound

and how we were so lazy that by the near end of the trial, we just stopped getting dressed and went in our pj's! lol katherine's rolling eyes at us. cdfu!

but the waterfights were the best. even w/ my appliances on. lol i won!

from gino's to the laughter from antonio's, tom's gas HAHA AND mj's special gas station. omg can we fill up? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm? cdfu

our ride home back from the birthday. the songs, the oldies we sang and cried to.

i'll miss him forever

[D.Electric]

i'll miss him forever

Honey, we'll all miss him. I miss that damn smile that used to creep in when he was pretending to be pissed that you got him with a bucket! My later memories arent that great. Bahrain wasnt a fun time. I barely got to see him and when he was he wasnt all that perky. That was the last time i saw him. The last time i spoke to him was 2 months before he died on the phone, and I WISH I had appreciated it more at the time. But he knew we loved him,and we know he loved us.

How did you end up meeting him?

[longtimefan1968]

How did both of you meet him?

[D.Electric]

I won a competition in Smash hits magazine in 96 haha. I was 9 years old and I wasnt a very happy kid...there were loads of kids there and i was a bit of loner and climbed up a tree from everyone, and he found me 'Why the sad eyes bucket?' (i had a tshirt with a bucket on it). I told him i didnt want to play with the other kids cus they talked funny (im english), but he chased me out the tree and made sure i played then when it was time for everyone to go he made sure he had my phone number so that he could make sure i was always playing and not hiding up trees...and the rest is history

[Soso Deaf]

ah well i met some of the family in 98, the rest in 01.

[D.Electric]

Youre memories sound fun where did you stay during the trial?

[longtimefan1968]

Wow, that's nice. Are you still in touch with the family? I can't imagine how hard this is for them & you guys since you knew him

[Soso Deaf]

haha where didn't we stay?

colonial, best value, buckboard, santa maria in (for a nite) some places in solvang, king fredericks i think,

solvang was so awesome. they gave deals to the fans. they really loved mj in those communities.

im wondering, did we ever meet? im looking at ur avvy but i can't tell, cuz it's a side view.

[Soso Deaf]

Wow, that's nice. Are you still in touch with the family? I can't imagine how hard this is for them & you guys since you knew him

u know, i don't think it's harder for us cuz we knew him and the family personally.

everyone felt like they lost someone they loved, regardless if they met him or not. their loss is still monumental. i would hate to think we're suffering more than u just b/c we were blessed w/ the honour of being their friends.

every fan who ever loved his music, his dance, his short films, just him in general lost something on june 25th.

if u liked his music, u were a friend. if u loved him, u were family. if u grew up w/ him, u were like his child. so we all lost something.

and yea, it just makes u appreciate people so much more.

my waun and portia, hell, even rashy cuz we went thru a lot together.

i was gorilla....in da zoo. we all had code names! lol i got him a gorilla....hell, what were u, waun? i forgot.

[D.Electric]

I didnt really have much contact with the family but I met them a few times. I also didnt have much contact with Michael since 2006, just the odd phone call, so I lost touch with alot of people assosiated with the both of us. It wasnt until the phone call at the beginning of the year that we built some bridges. It wasnt anything to do with him, I went through a real tough time in 2008 until early this year and cut myself off from everyone as well as michael.

i loved Katherine and met her a few times, but i was probably just another kid to her haha. Shes a wonderful woman, they are a wonderful family and fans such respect them more.

[longtimefan1968]

I used to look at Elvis fans & wonder why they were so emotional, but now I truly truly understand. I grew up with his music since 68. It was my first concert in 72. Only group my mother would let me listen to. Some days are really hard

[longtimefan1968]

I agree they do deserve more respect from fans
