IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
moved to [highlight]PROSPECT PARK[/highlight]


SpikeLeeprospect.jpg

It is official: Spike Lee’s party in honor of Michael Jackson’s birthday will be held in Brooklyn, but in PROSPECT PARK, not in Fort Greene Park.

The party will take place at the Nethermead, a meadow in the center of Prospect Park, according to an e-mail message from a city official on Friday.

The date, Aug. 29, which would have been the singer’s 51st birthday, and the time, from noon to 5 p.m., remain unchanged.

The decision to move the party came after several days of discussion on the wisdom of holding it in the 30-acre Fort Greene Park because of the large number of people expected.

Prospect Park is about 18 times bigger.

(SOURCE: New York Times)

Additional information from Huffington Post:

The event's original permit envisioned 2,000 people attending. But because of nationwide publicity, organizers now expect the crowd to exceed 10,000.

was too lazy to start my own thread, lol, but for any other NYCers interested (or if andyroser wants another NYC event to attend :lol:)

Prospect Park....taking note.
 
how about... 9.30 33street where the Q subway is... we have to take this one anyway...

I'll probably be only heading to Prospect Park on the day, anything else will be too much. :(
 
guys this sounds fantastic. Please take photos/videos and post them so we can all see.

I was looking into flying over for a few days to go to this but I have to attend a hospital seminar on 31st, but I was quite jealous of you all.

Some great tributes are going on in London tho. I got tickets for this:

Hey Guys!! This sounds like a great plan. I'm going to try and shuffle my work schedule so that I can attend....but just a heads up I may be booking a hotel room Sat night if anyone needs a place to crash :)
 
I'm coming!! :girl_happy: ...all by myself too. Still haven't figured out what I want to wear.

Checked the weather and there's a 30% chance of rain expected...I hope it's a nice day but it would be amaaaazing if there was a rainbow or something. ^_^
