More Michael Jackson tributes planned in Baltimore
The wave of Michael Jackson tributes isn't over yet.
Last night, radio station 92Q held a Jackson candlelight vigil outside its offices. Hundreds of MJ fans turned out to show their support for the late pop star.
Here are some photos from the vigil.
Thursday, Bourbon Street (316 Guilford Ave.) is throwing a College Night Thriller party, complete with Jackson videos and music.
Anyone that shows up wearing a white glove will be eligible to win door prizes, bar tabs, etc. ...
Instead of a moment of silence to honor Jackson, there will be a moment of noise, said manager Sam Chaney. I like the sound of that.
The drink specials aren't bad either -- $18 all-you-can-drink (only $12 with military or student ID).
Also, Fletcher's (701 S. Bond St.) is also hosting an all-Jackson dance party Friday, complete with $2 drinks and no cover charge until 10:30 p.m. The DJs are Mike Mills and Craig Boarman.
Both events are 18+.
I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.

There are also a lot of people SICK of others citing rumors and media hype to tear down the name of one of history's most talented [and misunderstood] entertainers. Just let the man rest in peace! If you didn't like him, too bad for you--didn't your mother ever tell you, if you don't have something nice to say don't say it at all?
We enjoyed and are thankful for Michael's gifts and we don't want you spoiling our memories of him!
