As most of you already know, Michael Jackson passed away yesterday, June 25, 2009. As someone who grew up in the 80's this man had a huge impact on me, as he did millions of others around the world. So I wanted to share a collection of potential pilgrimage destinations around the country that you can visit to celebrate and remember this great artist, the Elvis of our generation.

The following Michael Jackson related locations don't have to be visited in any particular order and don't need to be visited this weekend, but are "must visit" locations for any true Michael Jackson fan.

If you have any additions please contact me and I'll add it to the article.

Last year the Red Bull Air Race was split between Detroit and Windsor but this year apparently the host is just Windsor, though of course you should be able to observe the air race from either side of the Detroit River.

This year's event will be held June 13-14 and hopefully with lower gas prices it will be an even bigger success than last year, when nearly 750,000 people watched the air race.

Unlike last year when the naming rights and air race festivities were split between the Detroit and Windsor sides of the river, this year will be entirely Canadian. This is in large party due to the Canadian tourism agency that funded the 3.2 million dollars to bring it back, while the city of Detroit has other concerns besides tourism. As a result, all of the official activities will be on the Canadian side, including the airport, viewing stands, and other events. That isn't nessisarily a bad thing though as the two cities are seperated only by the river and the city of Detroit will benefit greatly from the tourist traffic being drawn to the officially "Windsor Red Bull Air Race".

TV and movie cast reunion parties are always a great excuse to plan a mancation around, whether it is Dukesfest down in Atlanta, a Star Trek Convention, or this upcoming Back to the Future cast reunion convention coming up next year in Chicago.

This promises to be a lot of fun and New Years is a great time to visit Chicago as it is a bit cooler, but not too bad, the weather is usually good and summer gas prices are usually down by this time so it makes it affordable to come here as well. Tickets for the event are $200, and includes autograph session with the cast from Back to the Future, the Gold VIP Weekend Ticket is $350 and includes the Back to the Future cast autograph sessions plus additional access, photos, and photo opportunities. Date for this awesome fan fest will be Dec. 31-Jan 3, 2010

The exact location of the Back to the Future cast reunion hasn't been confirmed yet, but the organizer tells me that it will be in the North West Suburbs somewhere probably.

Part of the proceeds will also be going to help support The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Charity Research for Parkinson's Disease. More details on the Back to the Future Cast Reunion as we get them!
