Mikafish Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Thanks everyone for the reports and fab pictures. Sara as always a wonderful report. I know what you mean about melting, the only time I have ever been speechless was when Mika asked why I wasn't at one of his UK gigs (come on Mika I missed one!!!!) ! I couldn't believe he'd noticed!!! I'm going to have to start a little savings jar to go to a gig that isn't on UK soil, think doing the whole "Big Trip" thing would make it ever more exciting for me! Looking forwards to more pics!

lovelove_mika Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I haven't read any reports yet, but this gig was absolutley amazing. I wanted to cry... He was so flattered and amazed with the audience the entire time... he said something like "Even though I now have a half a voice, and a cold...I'm glad It was with you." He was so into the music, he poured his heart out. He could not have been sweeter before and after the gig either... I have work, but I'll post more detail later... PS dancing on stage with him = best moment of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikjass Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Sitting in our hotel room with Sunshine931 and Cassiopee, trying to gather our thoughts.It's been ****IN AAAAMAAAAZING!! Seriously. The energy was incredible, we were like right on top of the tiny stage, it was very similar to the setup at The Roxy, and Mika was relishing it. Queuing was fun, we spent tons of time doing the usual gossiping/chatting/moaning that we were tired , and the icecream van was just an incredible touch. We worked very well with the security and Team Mika, enforcing the numbers/time of arrival system, and it paid off. Of course you always get a few asses who try their luck at cheating the system, but luckily karma worked its magic and we all got the positions that we deserved based on the arrival time. I still can't get my head around the fact that some people are that selfish and bad, but I guess that at this stage in my Mika gig queuing career I should know better . On another order of things, I can't believe that Mika actually fleeted that icecream van for us. It was also high quality ice cream, not just any crappy old thing. It was also very cute that, as Kate was saying, Mika's family kept coming over to remind us that we had to have some free icrecream, on Mika. So sweet. The gig:From the start it was so clear that the crowd was totally up for it, and of course he picked up on this and it magnified his own energy. We were to the left of the stage, practically on top of the piano (it was tiiiny), and got tons of eye contact and lovely smiles from Mika while he sung. At one point during Rain, he smirked and pointed his mike at Mana and I asking us to sing . It was hilarious. A bit of a downer was the fact that some rude peeps were chatting away during Over My Shoulder, and Mika kept shushing the crowd, but of course some would just keep speaking and making noise throughoutthe song. Dan looked a bit bothered by that as well. It's just rude, and it upsets me. We tried to make them stfu and of course these things don't really work, but hey, we tried . Anyway, the gig was absolutely fantastic. Fantastic. He just gave his whole heart, and totally lost himself in the music. He did an especially heartfelt performance of Lonely Alcoholic, which was incredibly beautiful, and Happy Ending was also particularly amazing tonight. Since we got into the venue, and saw that we were standing right next to the celesta (spelling??) where Mika does Toyboy, Christine, Deb and I were super excited thinking: OMG, he's going to be standing here while we lean onto the instrument (we were literally squashed against it!!), so we were gleefully looking forward to Toy Boy. Little did we expect that, when he started, some over excited girls who were standing next to us started touching him whilst he was starting the song, and to be honest, I think that it was this and not the slight feedback problem that caused him to retreat back to the safety of the piano. In any case, it was one of the best performances that I've seen of Toy Boy. In fact, I will say that, except for the one at The Roxy (which will always remain the best in my mind because it was the first time that he did it and you could tell how much it meant to him to see the audience's reaction), this was the best Toy Boy that he's done. IMO of course. He was SO excited!! HE kept smiling and laughing and repeating that we were fooking amazing, etc, and you could just tell how thrilled he was. Obviously, so were we, so it was a great combination. He told us that he had a cold/sore throat and he was losing his voice, but that we were the best crowd to lose it with, implying that we were helping him so much. It was really touching. At one point I noticed that he kept doing this thing with his hand at us, towards the place where Mana and I were (really, the two of us are a TERRIBLE combination when it comes to front row fangurliness ) like saying 'come up!', but it was so subtle that I didn't quite know if he meant that he wanted us to go on stage or not...He kept doing it and then did it again for another song, at which point it actually looked like he was going to grab Mana's hand, so we just jumped on the stage because it was just really clear to me that he was asking us to do that. I think that *cough* I may have been the first one to get up there *cough* , but in any case we had a full stage a few seconds later so hey, it was fun. After the gig we were a bit worried that he wasn't actually asking for the stage invasion, so someone (I think Mana?) asked him if that was what he wanted, and he said that yes, that was what he was trying to do, to get us up there. It was good to get the confirmation, as we've always had this conversation where some people think that he's clearly asking for it, and others think that he's not unless he specifically pulls people up. So, mistery solved . Oh and when we thanked him for the gigs and the tour, he actually told us that it was great to have us follow him around, that he loves seeing our faces at the front all the time at the different places, and he actually told Mana and I that when he saw us there, "he knew that it would be a good one", hahaha! That must have been one of the sweetest things he's said, seriously. He's such a sweetheart, I mean, how can one not melt when he says things like that. Sigh. Ok, this is all for just now. Cassiopee has dropped off to Mika dream land so Sunshine and I will now see if we missed anything and post again if we come up with some new stuff. OOh, we forgot to mention the restaurant. After he came out, and had the brief chat with the line (it was raining, so he just went down sort of fast, though he did take his time to say something personal to all of us, and make sure that he stopped for a bit), we walked for what felt like 5 hours in the rain, until we got to Chinatown and found the restaurant that Mommylovesmika had recommended as the one place which was open 24 hours. At some point during this 'trek' we somehow managed to lose Suzy and hubby, and to this point I still don't know how or when they disappeared . Deb decided that she was not hungry, so she went off to hotel before we went to find the restaurant. We just all sat there at this round table reminiscing about the day/night, and feeling really depressed about the fact that it was all over for now. Oh, and some (not pointing any fingers or naming names) were more than a little tipsy, so that was quite funny, but we shall leave it to them to explain if they want to . After dinner we went back on a treck to the hotel where most of us were staying, said our goodbyes, and here we are now feeling too high to go to sleep... Thanks for the report Sara.. great reporting as usual.. glad you've made it till the end.. the gig sounds amazing and Mika is sweet as usual. :thumb_yello:Now that it has come out of the horse's mouth.. you've got to be at every gig from now on!! Thanks for the awesome reports and pics! I can't believe it's over now! Roll on September:wub2: It has been an amazing tour... can't wait for the next one..
