Michael Jackson's 52nd Birthday Party

I've finally decided to upload the pics of the
  Michael Jackson Tribute
this past Sunday in Prospect Park hosted by Spike Lee
 (love this guy.He is sooo Brooklyn).

  It was blaazzzing hot in the park...a good 100 degrees if you asked me
but that didn't stop theMJ fans from coming and showing out. 

Shout out to Toya a.k.a. SHAMS for the backstage passes. 

It definitely made up for her CRAPPY directions on the best place to park the car.

TUHHH!!!!! 

Cake Man Raven

stopped by to donate 2 beautiful birthday cakes in honor of Michael Jackson. 

Yes, ladies and gents the cakes were indeed Red Velvet.

To my surprise CakeMan pulled up his sleeves to cut the cakes for everyone backstage. 

I mean with all the negative press stemming from legal actions against him for not adequately paying his employees to the health hazard in his warehouses:

I don't know maybe he should roll up his sleeves more often.

Watch CakeMan cut the cake like he is on TOP CHEF: Desserts

"Marlo" 

Marlo was very willing to take the picture although I kind of wished he would have gotten into character. 

Jamal aka "Gravy"

He played the role of Biggie in the movie Notorious and is a rapper from BROOKLYN!!

Al Sharpton
should coin the phrase "I'm Everywhere, You Ain't Never There" 

The day before the MJ Tribute, Al was in DC heading the "Reclaim the Dream Rally"

After sitting in the hot sun for hours, I had had enough.

The anticipation of the trek back to the car was overwhelming.

(which is probably the reason I'd stayed so long in the first place). 

 I had a great time, met a wonderful group of people and I figured it would be best to leave before the crowd...  

We BROOKLYNITES can get kind of Rowdy

Until.... 

I spotted a group of men dressed in three-piece suits (despite the weather) running along side a mini van.

I hear somebody whisper...

"its Snoop"

 I immediately thought

OMG! Its Snoop from The Wire!!!

My bestie turns to me and says

"that is just dumb VONI!!!

Why would Snoop from the Wire arrive with so much security 

and Marlo walked in like the average JOE!!!  

(Go ahead Laugh out Loud.. I cant hear you anyways...)

Out of the tinted Van was

SNOOP

 the rapper of course.

And there you have it V.I.Ps.. full frontal backstage access to MJ 52nd Birthday Party.  

Did you feel like you were with me? I hope so...

Voni *V.I.P.*

 *Do you think Black business Owners are scrutinized more than other business owners?

* Or are Black people harder on their people?
