Sure:
'Ever since I created the condolence books that were originally present at the Light for Michael event, 13th July at 02 I have been overwhelmed by people adding their messages via the Messages for Michael group.
I have also received lots of requests to hold another event which will allow people the opportunity to add to the books personally.
We will therefore be holding an event in Traflagar Square on Saturday, 15th August which everyone can come along to to add their messages to the books that will be presented to Jemaine Jackson 29th August.
We are also hoping to attempt a world record for the largest Michael Jackson dance class/routine on this day. Our plan is to teach as many people who show up the dance routine to Thriller and Bad and then perform them at some point during the day.
We are currently in discussion with a number of professional dance instructors to see if we can get some people down there to teach. However, we are also looking for enthusiastic fans who know the dance routines and who are willing to teach lots of other fans.
We are also in discussion with various other groups and fansites in order to make this a truly amazing event!
If you know anyone who would be willing to take part, to teach, would like the opportunity to sign the book or if you've always wanted to learn a Michael Jackson dance routine and perform it with lots of other fans please come along!
If anyone would like to help in anyway with this event just message me. You will be very welcome!

'Hey
Ever since I announced this event myself and others have been working incredibly hard to make this an amazing event. In the course of our organising we have encountered numerous problems that have subsequently made it impossible for us to continue with the hope of hosting this event in it's current form.
Firstly, the original proposed location of Traflagar Square is inapporopriate as they charge £1000 an hour for something of this kind takes place. Hyde Park also charges the same rate for anything larger than a "picnice of 40 people".
The only remaining location is Leicester Square which is a public area although if we deem this a performance in any way or publicise it as such it also will incur a charge and possible icensing issues.
Therefore, the event simply can not go on in it's current form. We are therefore proposing a number of changes in order for the event to still take place.
The only way it can proceed is as a flashmob event. People learn the dances before hand (there will be no instruction), turn up at Leicester Square at a designated time and do the dance, and then disperse.
I am understandably incredibly disappointed at the level of bureauacracy which has made it impossible to carry on with the event as it was originally envisioned. Myself and the others involved in arranging this are still willing and determined to host this event with the changes (we have worked hard enough towards this already!), but without your support we will have to cancel.
We REALLY don't want to cancel and still want this to go a head, but only if you guys are happy to proceed. I have put a lot of work into this event and the condolence books and it would be great if we could still do this for Michael.
Clare

Hope that helps x
