Lets go oldschool. Lets just talk anything and everything Michael, not news stories, not controversial topics, just look at this like we are hanging out outside The Lanesborough Hotel in London. We have snacks, we have hot chocolate and coffee to keep warm. We are sitting on yoga mats against the barriers. We know Michael is in the hotel as we have just spoken to his bodyguards.

This is one of my photos from March 2001, outside The Lanesborough Hotel, for those who may need a visual :)

I would be complaining about the cold and how excited I would be to watch Michael perform. I would probably be freaking out from both excitement and from all the noise/ chaos.

Well now you are, you have just been transported back in time. So what are you talking about?

I feel a twinge of guilt as I sit uncomfortably on my mat with my heart beating rapidly with anticipation…it turns out unbeknownst to my parents that the “girl’s trip” that I elaborately planned with my college girl friend and roommate was a cover for this. Although, my roomie causally sighs about the frosty temperature and how it’s nipping her nose, I know that deep down inside she and I are almost dead from enthusiasm and elation that we can barely contain. Our faces are radiating with suppressed girlish giggles and nervous energies as we overhear whispers of spottings of Michael. Although I have a thousand things I could say, I can barely catch my breath as my intuition tells me, the moment is dawning on us. Our incessant chatter that we engaged in over ten minutes ago, has quieted into a hallowed, sober, expectant silence. We’re mutually holding our breaths and squinting our eyes not wanting to miss this once in a lifetime moment. I stare so intensely into the distance that I almost forget about the weight of my loud and animated poster that I have raised over my head, with the words I LOVE YOU MICHAEL JACKSON, scrawled in blocky letters. This is the moment that our hearts have been waiting for and we anxiously share a look of pure utter disbelief. Could this be the magical moment our fangirling has dreamed of…

I’m not sure what the event exactly is. I’m just using my imagination 🤗

I never got to see Michael perform live, mainly because he only did three tours and most of the stops were international (I couldn't afford to travel). I've watched a lot of his concert videos online though, and he was truly one of the greatest talents we ever had.

To be honest, that sounds like fan fiction, something you copied from somewhere. Its like you are writing a novel, and it doesn't seem genuine. Sorry, but as I really was there and this is a photo I took, its way too cringe and like an entry for a writing competition.

I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean for it to be. I used my imagination too much. It sounds pretty disingenuous and ridiculous. I’m sorry.

That word is not very nice and people dont use that word anymore, its an old fashioned word, something that was used years ago.

@Moonstreet, you said this was in London, correct? I would probably be trying to ask locals about good places to eat or getting a friend to do it for me cuz i can get really shy talking to people. but at the same time with all this excitement i would probably be extremely extroverted and be trying to get one of the locals to teach me some french.
Anyways, id probably also be taking pictures of just random people around me and trying to get one of Michael while hes in a window somewhere. I love taking pictures of people interacting with others, really fascinating. I would be buying 3 more hot chocolates trying to stay warm and would have probably brought a book to read or a sketch pad that would probably be forgotten on the ground next to me. im always carrying those around with me.
 
@Moonstreet @summer @Lorraine

in case you read that and you are wondering: my thought was, maybe you would like to share some personal stories connected to Michael, as you all had personal experiences. I am sure that would be interesting for all people who didn't get the chance to attend concerts or wait for Michael outside hotels etc.

I'd love that, because I was like 5-6 years old when I discovered Michael in 96/97, so it wasn't possible for me, of course. And a lot of people here are even younger, so I hope you are online here and then and would like to share some anecdotes. I guess this thread here would be great for that 😊.
