I think it’s pretty much a given that, unless you’re Will [2] or anyone else [3] who won a ticket to Michael Jackson’s memorial service downtown tomorrow morning, you ought to absolutely, completely, totally, and definitively avoid going downtown at all costs tomorrow. If you still need convincing, the LAPD reports that it will barricade the Staples Center and the Nokia Theater within a large perimeter bounded by Olympic, Flower, Pico and Blaine. The MTA plans to detour over 20 bus lines that serve the downtown area; the big list is over here [4]. For those of you still hoping to get tickets, eBay is purportedly removing profit-seeking scalpers listing their winnings, though for a cool $10 plus shipping, you can buy a photo of MJ plus an email informing someone that they did not win the raffle [5]. Geesh, everyone’s out to make a buck these days.
