I've known Michael in '99 as most of all his other fans did too.
During that period of time, we followed him everywhere.... LOL New York...Seattle...Kansas...Florida...NJ...etc. and there even a Japanese fan came all the way from Japan to Canada to see him...sigh...those were the days.. :p
So if you are only 7 hours away from him...I'd say "GO
Go GO"... It's worth it !
