Cool Information from the Organizer!
Cool things to know:
Here's what I heard/was told by people:
- Michael Jackson called one of our LA participants to tell him Thrill The World was happening; she came to practise yesterday in LA
- I sent a text message to Michael Jackson via the person that came yesterday, Nicole.
- The entire Jackson family now knows about Thrill The World
- Michael Peters, the original choreographer of Thriller, has passed on but his mom knows about Thrill The World
- TTW is on the websites of michaeljackson.com, quincyjones.com, mjjcommunity.com, Sony's MJ myspace and many more!
- Barcroft Media sent out photographers to approx 15 events = our pics in newspapers everywhere!
- Saudi Arabia danced with us! (and it's not really acceptable to dance in that country but they still danced with us!)
- XM radio played Thriller right AT Thrill Time! in honor of TTW!
- LA event had Adam Sevani, plays 'Moose' in Step Up 2: The Streets play the role of MJ
- Fort Worth, Texas guest and witness was MA Mahailoff, Leatherface, in Texas Chainsaw Massacre
What we want: for Ines to be interviewed on Ellen, Oprah, Conan O'Brien, Tyra Banks, and other great shows!
Pass this on so word spreads about the awesomeness of Thrill The World!
