I love your current English AMP, lol.

Being part of the choir tonight was crazy and fun fun fun. One of the best nights of my life, I can honestly say. We went totally crazy. And got poured champagne by Mika afterwards. The band members were all extremely nice and approachable. Rehearsing in a dressing room with Tim was lovely and intimate. We hardly noticed when Mika joined the group. He gave us some singing tips, nice. We forgot them once we were on stage, lol. Crazy crazy fun night!

What a way to start a tour!
Despite the high stage, which restricted his movements somewhat, Mika was bouncing around al over it, at some points going out of his way to distract Curtis playing the keyboards, which he failed at every time

He seemed to be fixated with Yulias red hat, which he grabbed and wore, then later he noticed her goggles, which he asked her "who the f*** brings these to a gig?!" He put them on and after Yulia shouting to him to flip them.up, he realised he could flip the dark shades up so he could see properly

Then he put them and the hat on the nearest choir singer, walked back to his mic looked round and said "ahh, I get it, it's Willy Wonka!"

He was in a very mischeivous mood tonight which made for a very fun show. Even the choir, which Ingie and Monie were part of, were up for his messing around.
The set list was pretty much the same as the US shows, which made me sad that he's not doing Make You Happy.
Afterwards he popped out for half an hour, before going back into the Halloween party they were having at the venue.
There was the usual fiasco of people having their turn and not moving to let others in for their turn, which I think is starting to become annoying, and highly rude and unfair, some people almost missed out because of it.
On the whole people were good and did move away, but a small minority didn't which makes it hard for others, especially those who haven't met him before.
A little thought for those people doesn't hurt.
Luckily there was enough space for those people to get through, but it would be nice if they didn't have to fight their way through.

It has been great though staying with Jojotje and her family. It's always lovely to come to Holland, they always give a warm welcome, and I enjoy coming here to gigs.

We gave it our all. I may have ruined Max's moment because I didn't hear properly but that turned out to be quite funny. Felt like I knew this group for ages and we had so much fun. Want to go back, like now.

Monie · 28-10-2012, 09:08 AM

Me tooooo! I miss everything and everyone already!

The bandmembers were so kind and approachable, one of my favorite parts of the evening was when we were rehearsing in the dressing room with Tim on guitar and the rest of the band standing against the wall in the door opening. It was so beautiful with all the voices together, I could have sit there forever, just singing and listening to Tim's guitar play. All that was missing was a fire place. If I hadn't been seated right across the door opening I probably wouldn't have noticed that Mika was standing there too, at a certain point. He listened, gave us compliments and some instructions, which were very helpful but which we forgot about once we were on stage, lol.

After our first song I felt Max' elbow poking in my ribs: "Good, good!" He said.
The audience was great. People were singing, shouting and waving, even at the back of the room and on the balconies. A high energy audience. And a high energy choir! It was an amazing night.

Now Ingie (and everyone else who has footage of the choir): upload those pics!

Yes m'am. Although I will have breakfast first if you don't mind

I will post a blog about it later. I did love that after the gig, we all just hung out with each other like we were just a group of friends. Nobody asked him for anything and it was all so relaxed. He told us that he hopes our paths cross again and we'll all sing together again next time in Amsterdam.
