Wow, it's all over...only the memories remain. I'm back to real life today after such a whirlwind! I had such an amazing time with y'all. I really miss y'all and hope we can hang out again soon. Hopefully, he'll be back to Utah soon. I know I'll be there. Of course, Half of the MFC will be too....I think they realized that Utah rocks. LMAO!! Well, we could have told them that....

 

Utah was so amazing. Even though I had a different experience in L.A, Utah will forever be the BEST!!

Looking GOOD CHAR!

Lol! Yep - thanks guys for posting those. I emailed David Burger thanking him for the first one and he emailed me back, which was nice. "He even characterized it as the best of his tour, after the fact." :D

Wow, awesome. I can't believe you e-mailed him. What did he have to say to you? That's so cool:punk:

That is SUUHWWEEET!! And thanks for all the fun pictures!!

 

 

Anyone else experiencing coming down from the high?

Yes, I'm feeling the post-partum depression sink in.

FYI... There is an article in todays Tribune about the concert. It's short and sweet.

(headline) Mika is electrifying in his scaled-back SLC show

Mika at In the Venue Friday

From the look of the line streching for blocks at In the Venue Friday night, British pop sensation Mika is no longer an unfamiliar guy in the United States (or at least Salt Lake City). It was a rare acoustic set for Mika, who usually brings a ton of bells and whistles to his shows. He said his insurance company and everyone except him wanted to cancel the show, because his opening act and most of his tour buses were stranded byh weather. Everyone who attended got a $10 refund (half the ticket price due to missing bells and whistles), but there was no need- Mika gave an electrifying show. He even characterized it as the best of his tour, after the fact. His falsetto soared above the minimalist backing and fed off the adoring crowd. He'll be back, and next time everyone will know of him.

I thought that was a cool review and wanted to share with you.

Lighten up! It was a JOKE! My friend has a SENSE OF HUMOR:wink2: It was not the same girl who was yelling marry me Mika because she was back about 6 rows. Myself and my friend who seemed to "offend" you were in the 2nd row. She is not too familiar with Mika and just came to the concert to support my Love for him. I think she's pretty awesome person. Let me appologize for her behavior if you found it so offensive. She truly meant no harm and was just having a little fun. We had been standing in 35 degree weather for at LEAST 4 hours by that time and sometimes you say stupid stuff.

OK....My husband says I'm not gonna get any hearts made with out getting a new printer cartridge. (see how computer savvy I am:thumbdown: ) I'm sorry girls, I'm gonna be the LOSER of the bunch. No hearts from me:sorry:

Have a safe flight:thumb_yello:

Hi girls! OMG! It's ALMOST HERE!!! I can't get my printer working I'll keep working on it but I've only got a couple of free hours tonight to try. I'm sorry... I may not be able to come w/any hearts:thumbdown:. It's my little boys birthday the next day so I have to get everything ready for his BIG DAY. With or without hearts I'll see you tomorrow

Ya, I'm sure Mika will do what ever it takes not to disappoint those fans:thumb_yello: . He seems to be pretty reliable.

I just read on The Midway State's website that they are stuck in the biggest snow storm they have ever seen and they are not going to make thier gig tonight so they are focused on heading for SLC:boxed: . STOP SNOWING!! I'm so sick of the snow and I hope it doesn't affect Mika getting here (SLC) or his gig he is supposed to be at tonight. Who know's.

Thanks for the INFO Melanie! I checked them out! They sound alot like Ben folds five. I'm going to Mika her in SLC on friday and was wondering who was opening for him. I hate going to shows and not know who the opening act is. Now I can buy the Itunes and sing along with them! THANKS AGAIN!

You bet! Can't wait! Thanks for the reply. I've been a member for a while but I've been so bz I never get a chance to get on the site. When I saw this thread I was so excited. Thank God he chose SLC as one of his sights. So.... have you heard who his opening act is?

HI! SLC MFC'ers! Have any of you heard who will be Mika's opening act! I CANT STAND IT! 1 week from today! OMG!

I just saw that on Perez's site:shocked: Personally I think Patrick Wolf sucks and I've never been impressed by him. I agree w/Perez...Wolf must be a jeolous little punk! Love ya MIKA!

I'm in!

Mika! How awesome would it be if you covered Prince's song... I wanna be your lover. I was listening to that album this weekend and all I could think was how great you could make that song! Not that it's not great allready but if Mika did it...

There's no reason to take what you say in a bad way ! Nobody's gonna kill you

 

I agree with what you said, with the whole signification of the video and everything, that in the end, no matter big or whatever, we're all beautiful (biiiiiig shortcut )... But you have to agree that as "real" that it's supposed to be, you don't "really" see big girls in tiny laced bright coloured undies walking down the street I'm exagerating of course. So it's not supposed to look THAT real...

 

But once again, talking only about the quality of the video (different plans, cuts...), the time they spend thinking about it before doing the video, the implication of the dancers and so on, it's not really what i could call something well done... They didn't have to take the bitch attitude to dance in an implicated way ! They just had to believe in what they were doing... And it doesn't look like they were believing in anything BUT "how ridiculous am i at the moment" (no offense at all). It looks like it's been done in a rush.

Yes, I absolutely agree with you. I wonder if they would have done some shots of a "big girl" in a professional environment that is absoultly beautiful and classy and some hot guy just notices her and appreciates her beauty....maybe they would have some type of flirtatious exchange? You know some scenes that show everyday life scenario's. I guess that is what I hoped the video would portray. I almost got he impression that some of the "big girls" in the video were not in a comfortable zone...so to speak.

well, i can see what you mean, but i don think that video will be well recived in engalnd either...maybe they SHOULD make another? ohhh i feel really bad now - WE STILL LOVE THE SONG MIKA!!!

Yes the song is BEAUTIFUL! But the video does not give it any justice.

I agree, Mika MUST get the airplay here in the U.S., But I don't know if that particular video is going to cut it here. I'm not in the industry but if myself......a HUGE HUGE MIKA FAN can't bear to watch it........hmmmmmmm who knows?

Thanks Yopopp. I was waiting to get my but chewed out:shocked:.

I thought I would post my opinion and pray to god I don't offend anyone on here. I saw the video this morning and I could'nt believe how poorly it was put together. We all know how AMAZING Mika's creativity is and maybe the video was not his idea at all...(I hope).

I am a "Big Girl", I've been big all my life, I fight w/my obesity everyday and I will never stop. I think being big is fine "if" your healthy. I feel like glorifying obesity does not do some of us "Big Girls" any favors. I guess I hoped there would be a little more "class" to the video. I felt almost embarrassed to watch it. The song is beautiful and sweet and shows what a genuine person our Mika is...but the video seemed so....uh, I don't know. I can't believe how dissappointing it was for me, and I NEVER thought I could feel this way about anything Mika does. Now don't get me wrong, I still love, love our Mika and will ALWAYS support him. Maybe I just don't "get it" as Mika would say.

Well, I guess I'd like to join, I thought I was the only one. I'm from Utah and have an 8 year old son who was not hard to make a Mika addict. He's a smart boy! My AMAZING husband puts up w/me but does throw a little "mid-life crisis" comment my way here and there. Is 33 old enough to have mid-life crisis?

Yeah and the Hairy guy in the first pic is gonna give me nightmares! I'll have to keep my hubby close by:naughty:. I used to be terrified of monkey's myself as a little girl:shocked:
