Of course, Jay wasn't about to let his dream of speaking at Writers' Day stand alone. Oh no, he had to make another one of his dreams come true at the same time. At the end of his speech, with Michael Jackson's Billie Jean pumping out over the audience, he proved once and for all that...well...no one can dance quite like Michael Jackson. (Trust us, if you weren't there, there's no way to explain how the dancing tied into his speech.)
Billie Jean...
...is not my lover, either.

Jay...moonwalking to Billie Jean? Is there no end to your talents?? Wish I could have been there!
If only he'd been wearing the pimptastic spangle suit! Will Jay be sharing some of his comments with those of us in the unwashed blogosphere? (Showering is overrated, no?)
I heart Emily Jiang, btw. She rocks.
Cool beans guys! Sounds like it was tons of fun!
Totally wish I could have been there just for that!
Not to take credit for Jay's dancing, but . . . last weekend I drove him to the beach to see Julia DeVillers who was in L.A. from Ohio to see Sabrina Bryan who was in Hollywood to be on Dancing With the Stars. So, there is a definite inspiration there, no?
For anyone who was there to witness my Billie Jean interpretation, please note that I willingly give full credit to Lisa Yee!

First it sounds like you had lotsa fun! I have just finished reading the book and I wanted to leave a comment while it’s still fresh in my head and the emotions still hovering. It’s amazing. I don’t really know how to express it, but every word of that book was so heartfelt and emoti
onal. It was hard to put down.
ations on the map…it was almost like I was actually listening to it. The story was told with honesty and such an open voice. It feels so real.
Sorry that comment got screwed up. The past part was supposed to say: Reading Hannah’s story and going with Clay while he visited the locations on the map…it was almost like I was actually listening to it. The story was told with honesty and such an open voice. It feels so real.
Aah, sorry I missed the dancing! I will now forever be curious how it "tied in"!!
Me too Laini! What did the dance have to do with the 12 year journey? Come on, tell us Jay....please!
