Randall RobertsHoly holy holy. Just got back from the press preview of the Julien's Auctions' impending Michael Jackson auction, which features hundreds of items from the King of Pop's collection. It is without a doubt the most surreal and disturbing and tragic and thrilling collection of Americana memorabilia you will ever see. You SO have to go see this thing. And then you have to bid on it.
It's overwhelming. Don't know where to begin. Photos:

The auction is open to the public for the rest of the week. Seriously. You gotta go.
