So I am wondering if THESE are the LOCAL people who should have had Mika standing with them in the photo - or just a random bunch of fans??/ It seems that meeting Mika frequently fuddles brains, and makes it difficult to understand the feelings of those who hope to meet him on their home soil. :aah:

I had an amazing weekend - got home 2.30am last night. This is just a quick non-report as have loads to catch up on now but I wanted to post my pics and to say thank you to Laura, Luke, Ingie, Treasa, Rose, Kath, Buttons, Abby for a fab weekend (hope I havent missed anyone?) had so much fun with you guys. Also was so lovely to meet others from the MFC who I havent met before. Sorry to those of you I didnt get to talk to much.

 

Ended up with front row (just right of centre) with Buttons, Treasa and Luke. Right in front of iMMa who was a lot of fun. Like everyone else, hated Tindersticks (and the rain!) but loved Mika's performance, despite it passing by too quickly

 

Went to the 'non-M&G' with the others and couldnt believe how crowded it was. I have met Mika before so decided to pass Luke my ticket to get it signed, and I went and stood away from the crowd with Kath (on a wall so we could see him clearly). I will have other opportunities to talk to him I am sure ;)

 

The hotel was lovely, the people were lovely, the weather was fab (apart from the rain during the festival) and I have come home feeling very chilled

So, here's my report...

 

I won't go into further details as everyone reported so well Mika's gig...

I just wanted to moan a bit about NOT THE RAIN (which got me a cold today), NOT SORE LEGS (from standing up for 8 hrs), NOT A SORE BLADDER (for not being able to pee for 8 hrs), but about GDT (aka Godamn Tindersticks)...

 

Be sure, this is the most annoying, upsetting, boring band there is...

And for Mika fans, who are hyper waiting for Mika on a festival, that has to be the worst thing that could happen..i've never said so many bad words in my own language then when i was watching them yesterday...

 

So, after this being said, let's start the report...

I won't comment on the gig iself as everyone here described it so well just wanted to say that Mika is improving on his portuguese, and thats for sure because his plans to move here are still on, after Louboutin have bought a house here too...

:teehee::mf_rosetinted:

 

He spoke a lot in portuguese, but i'm sure you heard that through the link of RADIO COMERCIAL...The best sentence of the night was:” MARRRRRI A ANTOINETA ESTA MORRRRTA!”, meaning Marie Antoinette is dead, on which he pronounced the r's a bit harsher and that was a blast!!!

I was happy with the gig, even if it seemed a bit shorter than others, no matter how wet we were, how cold it was, no matter how people were pushing to steal my front row spot, no matter how my legs hurt, Mika was thyere in front of me, so i forgot everything else...

 

The “non” m&g started fine, with Mika coming out of the car to greet us, but suddenly things fell out of control and when i took notice thee was a huge crowd jumping over him, everyone talking at the same time, using flashes hey were asked not to, not forming a line, as they were asked to...

 

I was able to get my ticket signed as i was in the back of the bunch and Mika streched his arm for my ticket and i gave it to him to sign...

He had a weird look on his face, as if to say: I know you, Wonka, we still have to deal with a few things before this is over...

So ,as revenge is a dish served cold i kinda got scared away...:lmfao: and stood back ON A SAFE DISTANCE just taking pics...:lmao:

 

As for the pic, Mika said the portuguese fanclub only but everyone jumped on him again which was a shame, as most of portuguese people are not showing up in the pic...I only hope Mika won't get the wrong idea about us portuguese peeps and decides not to come over here again...:(

 

But it was nahce having him so near, as we never did have a proper meet and greet, we only saw him coming out of Campo pequeno and even then he was in a rush...

 

Also, at the NMG (aka non meet&greet), a drunk guy stopped by and yelled Ola, Mika, estas bem?? meaning: Hi, Mika, are you ok?, to which he replied Estas bem! meaning :You are ok! Instead of “Estou bem!” (Meaning I am ok!) :lmfao:

 

 

Last but not least i simply adored to meet everyone, new and old faces, i just hope we can share a lot more gigs together...

 

Yay, Wonka, what a great and funny report!

You escaped a revenge... well well :mf_rosetinted:

Those bracelets on the left... Ahhh! :mf_lustslow:

 

That's mine! :blush-anim-cl:

 

So I am wondering if THESE are the LOCAL people who should have had Mika standing with them in the photo - or just a random bunch of fans??/ It seems that meeting Mika frequently fuddles brains, and makes it difficult to understand the feelings of those who hope to meet him on their home soil. :aah:

 

That was the MFC picture we took after Mika departed, so a random bunch of fans seems most accurate :naughty:

LOL No, in this pic there's people from various countries. It's basically the group that remained there right after Mika left. We wanted to take a group pic with everyone from MFC, but when we looked around, some people had left too! :aah:

 

When we were posing with Mika, if you check the pic, there were more people on the right trying to get in the pic (for example Liliana and her boyfriend), but it was impossible. :huh:

Now that I think of it, I'm surprised I managed to appear! :roftl: Feiticeiro tried to move just a tiny bit for me to go there (obrigada!) but it was mad! Mika must have been sooooooo squished there in the middle! :aah:

Thanks for all the reports etc. I enjoyed listening to the gig on the Portuguese radio. It almost felt like I was there, except that I was dry, and had full access to a toilet :mf_rosetinted:

 

I'm amused by the universal disdain of Tindersticks :teehee:. I used to like them back in the 90s. Perhaps they weren't the best thing to be standing listening to in that awful weather though, I admit :wink2:.

:lmfao:

 

 

The problem with Tindersticks was not the quality of the music (I thought they actually did a good job, if we think they spent more time trying to keep their instruments dry than playing :roftl:) but they were DEFINITELY not the band for that festival, and especially for that day. :dunno: I have no idea why the heck they were there, if the organization wanted to include them in the festival, they should have played the previous day, with Skunk Anansie and Moby as headliners. :boxed:
