As I write this the public memorial service
for Michael Jackson that will be
televised around the world is just
getting underway at the Staples
Center in Los Angeles. An
amazing 1.6 million |
|
people
registered for a lottery in which just
8,750 winners were drawn to receive
two tickets each to today's star-studded
event.
I was
wondering if anyone from the domain
community would be among those in the
live audience when I got word from David
Castello of Castello
Cities Internet Network that
he and Natalie Lambert were there. They
had each entered their email addresses
in the lottery and Natalie's name was
pulled. They arrived at the Staples
Center around 7 o'clock this morning
(Pacific coast time), six hours ahead of
the start, to avoid the traffic snarl
around the arena. David sent me the
photo below taken shortly after they
arrived (as you can see dozens of others
were already on the scene with them.) |

If
you read our December
2006 Cover Story about David
and his brother Michael, you know that
they are both accomplished musicians. I'm
sure the opportunity to be at this event
in memory of one of the most influential
artists of all time has special meaning
for David and Natalie as a result.
