My friend Bijou and I met up at 6:30 to walk over and they let us right in even though doors weren't supposed to open until 7:15. So we chilled and bought merch (I got a white tee and an autographed lithograph poster. There are 2000 of them, and I got #44/2000!)
My seat was front row and center DD101, it was so close to the stage I felt like my personal bubble was invaded hahahaah I wouldn't have it any other way though.
I made this teddy bear necklace last summer when I was cleaning out my closet, and I gave it to Mika after the show. I hope he likes it!
The warm up was realyl awesome and I usually don't go for those. I didn't catch his name, but he sings the song, "See I am wonderful" Someone will have to google.
Pictures to come. Mika's performance skills were at his PEAK tonight. He was smooth, really into it, everything had a place, the acting in between songs, and you could tell he really loved performing the new songs. It's still in those early stages where it's exciting for him to get them out, you know?
And I feel slightly bad for reporting this but he was panicking through Big Girl cause his fly broke. That happened at Terminal 5 too. Perhaps I'm a curse. But I should say he still went on and danced despite the fact that his pants were really falling down, the singer (I forget her name!) handed him a random belt, and he was trying to cover his fly with the ends of his jacket, elbow, and everything else he could hahaah.
No Good Gone Girl?
I loved seeing both albums together, it was so so so great. I was literally at his toes leaning on the stage and at points he'd lean over the audience and I had to bend backwards to not be fallen on. Such great energy. And I really got the best experience you possibly could out of a concert.
So we waited outside, it was cold and rainy but I think the wait wasn't more than 45 minutes. He was very nice and said after the bodyguards kept saying NO PICTURES! OK PICTURES BUT NO FLASH! Mika was all, "Pssshh they can use their flash!" So he signed my EP (I had to leave early for Le Poisson Rouge so yay!) and I gave him the necklace. Which broke 40 times while I was dancing but hey.
Oh and Cherrise piggybacked on Martin and high fived us all. I wish I got a picture of that!!
So I sat next to tiibet and her husband at the show. I love MFCers! They had a bus to NYC at 1 AM, so they hung out at my dorm for a little bit to warm up after the show. So high on life and concert haze right now!
Pictures to follow, but they didnt come out good, maybe it was the lighting. A few good ones though!
