Awww! My mother and I were talking about how bad we felt for you. At least he kicked his Louboutins at you.

 

He WAS getting really close to the edge! I had to move my phone also, and he stepped on my poster twice! I really though he was going to go over the side of the stage once. I braced myself for impact.

 

We were supposed to have a meet and greet?? Oh my lord! That would have been AMAZING. So sad it didn't work out.

Haha! It's ok! I only wish someone had that on tape, because honestly I only caught a little of what he was saying and didn't even know he was talking about me until my friends started flailing lol!!

Finally just getting on here after the show!

My friend Todd and I got to the venue around 8 AM, we were first in line as always lol! In fact if anyone remembers Mika mentioning something about " the lady who got here at 7 AM and now she can't see a f*cking thing" that would be me...LOL! I chose the wrong side of the piano, but it's ok. I could still see, and he gave me a little wave after he said it.

He only knew we got there so early because we tweeted him a little video as soon as we got there.

At one point, I ran back to my friend's car to check on something, and Mika was coming out of the back stage door. He was getting in a cab, and I walked RIGHT BY HIM. I smiled and he smiled back.

I have to say it was totally worth getting there so early. We were ON the stage pretty much. I had to move my phone at one point so Mika wouldn't step on it!

The entire show was just incredible. All of it. I can't even pick out parts right now.

OH! I saw someone mention something about fans who were supposed to have had a meet and greet. That was us. Apparently we were told by someone who did not have the authority to tell us that at all, so the venue tried to work around it by having him come back out into the venue after. We were given permission to stay, but Mika didn't know anything about it, so he went right out to the bus. So then they corralled us to that area saying they'd bring him over to us, but then he just left

We were disappointed, but I've met him before and honestly I was still on a high from the show, so I guess all in all it wasn't the worst thing ever.

The concert? BEST THING EVER.

Got my tix for this show!! SO EXCITED!! It's been too long, almost 4 years!

I got mine for Portland OR!! SO EXCITED!!!!

WAIIITTT how do we do the presale? Where are we clicking? The link that says Portland? At noon? HELP!!

Is there supposed to be a code for Portland yet? I know it doesn't start til noon but not sure how this works! Anyone please help! And where is it Im' going for the presale? The link on the top of this topic? OMG I'm so confused!

while the choir was a great idea for the last gigs, i'm hoping this time, it's really stripped down to Mika, a piano & a few other instruments with no other distraction i would love to hear his voice in that setting

 

True. BUT, if he does, I'm trying for it! That would be a freaking dream come true.

OMGOMGOMGOMG PORTLAND. I haven't been on here in AGES. But I AM FREAKING OUT. I wonder will he do the choir?

Ahhh, how do we do the presale? I'm so confused lol!!!

EEEEE!!! YAY!

 

And OMG the horror movie elevator! Did you get the picture from the elevator? It's awesome! It reminded me of every bit of fun we had. You are awesome and it was a total pleasure to meet and hang out with you. SO MUCH FUN!

You too! I had so much fun, and I'm so glad to have met you. Now I have 2 MFC buddies!!

Now that I'm not half asleep and struggling for words, I need to add a few things I forgot to put in my report.

 

I was "front row" center. I mean dead CENTER. The theatre did add three rows in front of me, but I didn't even care because my line of sight was PERFECT: any closer and I would have had to crane my neck up to see anything and would have been in even more pain (holy CRAP my knees HURT right now,) any farther away and it wouldn't have felt like I was the only person in the room when I saw his eyes.

 

I don't know if he saw me, but every time he was standing in the center of the stage, it felt like he was looking right at me and I was looking right into his eyes every single time, except that one time when I was near tears during Happy Ending. I could feel my chin quivering like I was going to lose it, but I was singing, so there were no tears, but WOW. My chin quivered even harder during I See You and I would have lost it if he'd looked out at us for even a second. I didn't have to use my handkerchief for tears, but I was so glad I had it to pat the sweat off of my forehead before it ran into my eyes.

 

I was wearing my camisole and my red flowered skirt, like in my video, and I was sweating like nobody's business from the heat and the bouncing. I didn't have a thought for how I looked. I have a feeling that if Mika DID see me, all he saw was love and energy and more fun than most people will ever have. It didn't even cross my mind to wonder if he saw anything unattractive. But then, I didn't really wonder that about anybody during my time in Seattle and discovered that I am shameless in my affection for people when they are kind to me. Poor Mika is the only one who had any reason to wonder with the way I scampered off, but I think the gift made my feelings clear despite my spaz attack

 

Mika's people are as lovely as he is. His mom is as pretty as he is (and OMG he is SO PRETTY!!!) I am so glad that I was there when wildsong ran into her. I don't think I said a single word the entire time, but I was glad to listen to them talk. Allison, who gave me the pass and took the picture was kind and lovely and also organized and firm without being mean. His backup singer came out and chatted with the fan club (and I was too far into my daze to even say hi to her, but I did notice her.)

 

The show was amazing. Mika had me the moment he walked out on stage in that space suit. He knew the energy he wanted to create and he put that energy into every bit of his body language and owned that theatre...or at least owned me. Once I felt it there was nothing else in the world I could do but give it back along with every last thing golden thing I have to give....and holy kittens do I ever have so much more to give than I ever conceived.

 

If I had a playlist, I could go through every song and write a report on each one, but I think I've already written so much. He was just amazing. He was giving his all with a sprained ankle and there was no way I was letting screaming knees and a throbbing back stop me from doing the same. I had no choice during Toy Boy, but I still made my knees last just a little bit longer after that because he got up on that foot again and I'm the kind of person who goes through things with people.

 

When arachnikid took off her jacket for a picture in front of the theatre, I took off mine too because I wasn't going to let her be cold alone. I wasn't going to let Mika be up on an aching limb and giving his all without being up on my aching limbs and giving my all too. Not that even thought about it. He just had me and I just did it.

 

I've had many exchanges with the Goldlings about how concerned I was that I wouldn't have anything to give if I made it to a gig. I was afraid I'd have to sit because of my knees, afraid that I wouldn't be able to give as much energy as I would want to because I'm so reserved, afraid of a million things that I didn't even have to think of because Mika is made of magic and nothing else in the world existed but that magic while he was on stage.

I love this! Reading it brought back every amazing moment like it was all happening again! I remember our "cold girl solidarity", giggling at tourists taking pictures of the wrong "original" Starbucks and of course, the adventures in the Moore Hotel!

I'm so glad to have met you, I have never had such a fun-filled day (and night!) Just wait til Mika comes back, and we'll do it all over again!

WOW! What an amazing night! I'm a little late with this post but I keep randomly falling asleep all day lol. I was hanging out with WildSong and RiversTwilight all day, as well as our friend Todd. We got to the venue around 1, and then just kind of bummed around town, got dinner etc.

I'm so excited WildSong got to be a Big Girl!! What a dream come true! And us getting backstage passes was pretty awesome as well Mika was so sweet, and said he loved my golden hair. (I spray painted about a metric ton of gold glitter all over it...that'll be fun to wash out) and took a pic with me. I shook his hand and he's so gentle!

It took me a few minutes to try and forget about the seating debacle (SO LAME!!!!) but I didn't let it ruin my night. One of the best times I have ever had. EVER. Thank you Mika for being so freakin awesome.

Board hates me right now, so here's a link to my MySpace, my pic is my main pic of course!

You bet! We need to plan some logistics.

I have both days off too, we can go up early and stay late!

Wait till you see the jacket I'm making

I'm so excited to see it! I've had my eye on this glitter eyeshadow set at Sephora and I think this would be a perfect excuse to finally buy it! YAY!! I'm glad you have those 2 days off too, that way we won't have to worry about getting to work on time the next day, hehehe!

So If I am all sparkly, you won't be embarrassed to be seen with me??? LOL

Embarrassed?! No way! So I have that whole day off work, and Tuesday too as it turns out. Do you still want to go together? I'm so looking forward to meeting MFCers!! (even if I've been a bad fan and have't loged on in forever)

I haven't gotten mine yet either! I'm getting so nervous, and excited! I' totally dressing up. Glitterified!

Just found out I'm in A4! So I will be seeing some of you I'm sure!

I just got my Seattle tix and it says reserved seats, but didn't give me any seat numbers. Any one else get this?? Any ideas??? If they are assigned, I want to know where I am sitting! This is killing me!!

I got mine too!! But I wanna know where the seats are!

It's called Synesthesia.

 

There's different forms of it. I had it mildly when I was a kid. I think it went hand-in-hand with my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

 

I used to do it with music notes when I played piano.

I do this absolutely. I think for me it is related to Asperger's which shares a lot of symptoms with OCD.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a little poking fun at my favorite celebs...but Mika has never said that he isn't gay. That and I feel like the whole sexuality thing has kind of blown over. No one really asks about it anymore ya know?

Maybe it's just that because here in the States, it's so rare to see or hear anything mika related, that's it's weird to see him being made fun of...I mean I about keeled over when Love Today came on in a club last weekend. It was 2 am and I was THE ONLY ONE left on the floor lol. I couldn't pass up the chance to dance to Love Today!

It might be funny if MIKA had ever actually DENIED being gay...that or if the guy singing it had any talent.

If anyone is scared to try their first veggie meal, something to try is to make something that requires meat, but then substitute Morningstar crumbles or something similar. My boyfriend and I love to buy Hamburger Helper and prepare it with Morningstar Crumbles. It's delicious and works out exactly the same ration wise! (hamburger helper requires one pound or ground beef, one bag of Morningstar Crumbles=one pound!)

What makes me mad is when people make exceptions and think it's ok to be mean to "ugly" animals. Nobody cares if a spider gets squished but if you hit a puppy you're a monster.

I love love love Dexter, but I fear I cannot enter this thread because I'm watching the show on DVD and don't want to spoil anything in the 3rd season!!

 

 

 

You're so lucky! Are you a MOE member?

 

 

 

You'll have to make sure you give a detailed account of the concert for us poor Hanson deprived souls...

I'm not anymore I still have all my old issues of the magazine though hehehe. And don't worry, I will take many pictures and give detailed accounts!!

I'm super excited because I am seeing them on Sunday!!

The Morningstar bacon is the BEST.

I love it lol.

MMMMM Morningstar bacon is quite delicious. I've been eating that ever since I was little even before I was veggie, just because it was so tasty!
