Thriller

My roommate and I went to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery tonight for their weekly summer movies - tonight's was Jaws in celebration of the 4th of July (when Jaws takes place). Before the movie started, they had DJs playing music, and just when it was finally dark out, right before movie-time, the DJ started playing Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough." People suddenly stood up and start dancing, prompted in part by an enthusiastic Ethan Embry who was in the crowd and started yelling for people to dance. That song was followed up, of course, by "Thriller." I can't possibly explain how surreal it was to be in the Hollywood Cemetery at night dancing to "Thriller" with hundreds of other people just over a week after MJ's death. And then there were fireworks...

Pictures didn't turn out very well because it was dark, but I posted some below anyway. Ethan Embry is in the blue baseball hat.
