Michael Jackson Invited Fans Back To Neverland
Saturday, January 17, 2004
Fans at Arraignment gathered at Neverland

"In the spirit of love and togetherness, Michael Jackson would like to invite his fans and supporters to his Neverland Ranch. Refreshments will be served. We'll see you there."

This is what was written on the invitations that were given out amongst Michael Jackson's fans that gathered for the King of Pop's court appearance yesterday.

According to MTV, Michael didn't actually spend too much time with his fans, when he arrived he went straight into his home. "He looked tired," said a Charlie Chaplin impersonator. However, fans were free to enjoy the rides and amusements, as well as view the latest film "Peter Pan" on his home cinema screen.

The security was very tight, as everyone who attended had to sign agreements and no cameras, cell phones or even handbags were allowed. Apparently only one fan left unwillingly, when he climbed Michael's "Giving Tree" without permission.

"The elephant trainer spent most of the party, which lasted from about noon to 5 p.m., explaining the rituals of 17-year-old Susie and 12-year-old Bubba to captivated kids and their parents" according to MTV. "Michael and the kids ride her all the time," the trainer said of Susie. "We let them run all around the land. It's much better than a regular zoo."

Music was blaring from speakers everywhere, "Even the parades of sharply dressed security guards were grooving to Smooth Criminal." In the arcade room, music from Outkast and Snoop Dogg played while fans enjoyed the machines, the most popular of which being, of course, Moonwalker.
