Hello everyone!
:ciao:
I finally got the courage up to write my personal story of missing Michael Jackson on a red carpet, just shy of 15 minutes. It was devastating at the time and I only confided in my closest friends about the regrettable decision I made to leave the red carpet that day. " smilieid="38" class="inlineimg">
Here's an excerpt:
______________________________________________________________________________________________
"On a rainy afternoon, wearing my Jackson 5 t-shirt (a bright pink I figured would be enough to stand out and catch Michael’s attention), I stood at the red carpet.
I was fortunate that my host sister was willing to go with me. We waited together to see all the celebrities come in. She wasn’t an MJ fan but, was curious enough to see what Michael looked like in person. The other celebrities entered one by one, each less recognizable than the last to me. Rihanna was also there and did a performance of “Pon De Replay” during the pre-show. I love Rihanna but, when Michael was there, it was as if no one else really mattered. To be honest, I had never been very familiar with Japanese pop culture so, I didn't even take photos of anyone else. I was saving my attention for Michael..."
If you're interested in the rest of my story, I have documented it here:

My question to the forum is:
1. Have you ever had a close encounter meeting Michael?
2. Have you ever felt less of a fan for not having met him in person?
I’d love to hear your thoughts and comments below.:yes:" smilieid="56" class="inlineimg">
