This gig was amazing, not least because we turned up at about 8.15, got a spot right in the front, and went back to our hotel about 30 mins after the gig finished to enjoy a night of luxury. Also Happy Ending was bloody spectacular.

Managed to get centre of row B for me, Ingie, and Niko, which after Wednesday's BS was a nice result.

Stalls are sold put though, Silver. I'm not paying £50 a head to climb stairs.

Couldn't get 3 tickets together and was on it at 9am. I'm definitely not cross...

Well we've been called selfish foreigners but we can handle that. Think we're currently public enemies 1-5 right now but couldn't care less.

Simona we have saved yours. We won't be heading down to front row so don't worry. Just tweet @ingievV when you arrive and we'll let you know where we are.

Okay, I'm going to say this once and only once - the people kicking off because they didn't RSVP until we were giving out wristbands and are complaining need to just deal with it. We are working with very strict instructions and we are sticking to those without exception. If we don't, we won't get nice things like this again, so you can abuse us in French all you like, you can tell us whatever story you choose, but if your name is not on the list we printed off at midnight last night, then it's tough. Also, if you mob us and don't take no for an answer, if you really think that we, being fairly logical people would make exceptions for people exhibiting behaviour like that then you're very mistaken. I hope those with wristbands will behave themselves tonight so that everyone can have an awesome time, especially Mika.

No no no no. I love him when there's an open bar. He loves me all the god damn time.

So we had a really lovely time last night. The show was really really fun and had a bit of an edge. When he said on the Graham Norton show that he had a conversation with 'himself' what he actually meant was that he was flirting with himself. 'Oh Mika, you're so good at the piano, oh Mika, you're so handsome, oh Mika, what a lovely chin you have' and this went on for quite some time. But it was hilarious so I'll let him off. When he came out he was in pretty good spirits, I had a nice bottle of the new honey blend JD for him to enjoy over Christmas, just as a little thank you for all the weird and wonderful things that have happened this year. He looked down into the bag, then this huge grin just spread across his face, he looked up, and raised his hand for a high five. No words needed, hahaha. He signed my copy of TOOL which I had in the car and grabbed it when we went to collect the gifts, so that was lovely. Thomas was kind as ever - when we rolled up 30 minutes before show time he was like 'why aren't you in the warm?!!?' haha. He's ace. Anyway, lovely time, was awesome seeing my lovely ladies again, and laying in bed with breakfast listening to our email get read out on the radio was a pretty sweet way to finish our mad little weekend.

Luke's made a mess in my bed from hearing our email read out. Or more precisely, from hearing Mika say 'aw cool' to our email. It's quite disturbing.

Orrrr I can wait for the TOOL artwork to be released and do a new one altogether!

I don't have the internet until August 20th. It's gonna have to wait. I've been doing these essays on my iphone. XD

Really? Not sure about you but I think I owe someone a drink...or several. XD Tbh it doesn't really upset me what the crazies say (though when they spend 4+ months stalking me I do tend to get a little shirty) it's just that I cannot be arsed with the aggro that's bound to come. In one way I'm sad that I feel I can't post stuff on here despite the fact that I know I won't get any **** from you guys. It's the lurkers you have to watch out for. I'd be lying if I said I'm not gonna enjoy letting them stew while they imagine what happened. Though I'm not sure they'll even get close cos I certainly didn't think things would turn out that night the way they did.

Okay, I'm gonna throw in my two cents now. A couple of months ago I found out some crazy bitch had been stalking me on twitter. She was messaging people I work with on fb and basically tried to ruin any chance I had of getting with the guy I like. As a result, my tweets are now private (no tweets to M anymore, or anyone who doesn't follow me for that matter) my followers list is now less than half what it used to be and I very very rarely accept any new followers. I know a few MFCers have sent follow requests but honestly, I'm 99.9% sure this bitch is a Mika fan. I'm not sure where else you'd find that level of crazy, that's connected to me. Basically, I've gone from being pretty open about things on the internet, to being really quite private. One crazy bitch managed to ruin twitter for me. Awesome. As for the **** that's gone down since I won and Ingie won the tickets to Belgium, I had someone who I'd considered a friend slag me off behind my back. "If anyone else had won it would have been fine, but Laura's already had too much Mika" and "It's not fair, he's choosing his favourites." Yeah ****ing right. On top of that I've got randoms running to friends and telling them that a joke I made to said friend was "quite rude" and asking if they'd seen it. Doesn't affect them whatsoever, but suddenly I win a contest and everything I do and say needs to be told to someone. Most people were really really nice, but a few managed to sully it. It's not an issue of bullying (believe me, I can't be bullied, not even my douchey boss who bullies the assistant managers tries it with me, he's not a complete fool) but instead it's about spoiling things. What happened on Thursday night was SO good. More than I'd dreamed of. But if Ingie and I post about it on here, well I think I'd have to be very very careful about what I say in future in any medium. Plus there are certain elements with which we kind of have an unspoken agreement with Mika not to post about. When we saw him after the Belgian gig we just said hi and that was it. Difficult to explain the vibes but I know Ingie knows what I mean. The last few days have been very very precious to me. I adore Mika now more than ever and am so grateful to him for what was one of the best nights of my life. So really, as nice as you guys would be if I told you, I don't want to put myself in a position that can lead to negativity. It's a real shame, but right now, my memories of that night are perfect. I'm not about to have some crazy bitch ruin them. I might tell some of you face to face one day, but for now it remains private. All you guys really need to know is that I had a ****ing blast.

It's not that it's hard to describe - I've got a degree in what is essentially describing things, but it wasn't really part of the show. Not in my eyes anyway. We just chilled and chatted and it was really nice but like I said, not really relavent to the world. Plus, what happens backstage stays backstage.

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments. It was kind of difficult to write because usually I just let my fingers wreak havoc on the keyboard but this called for a little more finesse I felt. Really pleased you liked it though! Would be lying if I said I wasn't feeling the pressure a little. Meh, that extra paragraph might make it to the MFC at some point but really there was nothing particularly relavent to the world in there. We had a really brilliant time and Mika was as lovely as ever but at the moment it's living in my memory box.

Ingie's locked me in her bedroom so I can write my review while there's thunder and lightning outside. And yet I'm still finding distractions. Mostly in the form of me looking at the new wallpaper on my phone. (It's totally not a lovely picture of me with Mika.) Writing a report with a vague structure is actually quite hard. I'm used to just bashing it all out like verbal diarrhoea but that won't really do this time. And for those complaining about the sound, from where I was (on the balcony) it was ace. Perfect view too. Had a lovely time. Ingie and I got kicked out like 3 times before our M&G but it was okay, cos we made it in the end. It was lovely. I keep randomly giggling. I haven't had this much post gig joy for a looooooong long time. Not sure whether it was the whiskey or the euporia that had me giggling all the way back on the nightbus, but either way, it was so worth not getting a moment's sleep.

Haha well of course you are. It's an awesome prize! And I'm very much enjoying the prospect of experiencing it! XD

Oh and I've said this already but people just carry on being so darn nice - thanks for being lovely everyone!

Erm no I'm afraid I don't have any spare plane tickets. *checks pockets* OH WAIT A SECOND.... No. No I don't.

Awww shucks. *blushes* Thanks guyssssss!

Oh it's gonna be ace, I promise you that now. I'm gonna make it the best review EVER.

I have two spares for Heaven. Get in touch if you would like one or both. =]

*bursts in* HI GUYS!!!!! Naturally I'm quite excited. Have spent all day at work squeeing. I got the email while I was talking to the tech, made a really loud noise, then was like BRB!!!! then legged it out the fire escape to call Ingie. I can promise you that this report is gonna be the BOOM TING. Flying to Eindhoven with Miss van Veen the morning after so it's gonna be a departure lounge masterpiece. On another note, having got up at 9 o'clock to buy two tickets for this gig, then winning two more two hours later, I now have a spare pair. If anyone wants them get in touch, either on here or fb or something. Anywho, thanks to everyone for their lovely words, makes it much easier when 99.9% of people are being nice. =]

*stomps in loudly and generally causing a stir* *goes to buy ticket*
